- On the way to pick up Captain Kirk and Science Officer Spock from a peace conference, U.S.S. Enterprise chief engineer Montgomery Scott in temporary command of the ship faces mounting difficulty on his way to the rendezvous - in the form of a menacing alien ship.
In honor of the 100th Anniversary of the birth of late STAR TREK actor James Doohan, I have created this episode which prominently features the character of Lieutenant Commander Montgomery "Scotty" Scott.
This film entitled "The Quintain" was written, directed, animated and produced by Curt Danhauser and is the third new animated STAR TREK episode featuring Captain Kirk and his crew to be produced in more than four decades. The last new official animated STAR TREK episode was produced by Filmation and aired on NBC-TV Saturday morning, October 12, 1974. Now, after more than 45 years, new episodes are being produced. These new episodes are intended to be a direct continuation of the 22-episode animated STAR TREK series produced by Filmation Associates from 1973-1974.

This video is a brand new story, with new animation, new dialogue that reuses some elements from the Animated STAR TREK series that aired on Saturday mornings from 1974 to 1974. I created this and it is the third new animated STAR TREK episode featuring Captain Kirk and his crew to be produced in more than four decades. This is not a redub of an old show.
its awesome, inspiring and very entertaining! I Love it! Thank you.
Is there a tribute episode for Leonard Nimoy?
Edit: ah I see there's the Logical Thinking Series :)
Didn't every episode reuse the same elements repeately?
Reusing some elements only makes it feel more real ;)
Though the Archer and Mayweather maneuvers were on spot, the Picard one was not! Perhaps it should have been named Garth!
Nice job! As good as any of the others in the animated series, story and pacing were spot on.
Okay so as a person who watched the originals in my youth, This had all the feel of the original. Honestly, if they would have played this in 1973, I would have believed it was done by the original production staff. Good work.
Agreed.
yep!
Female voices really...
The big hint was reaching for the Scotch. Then again, that could have slipped by the censors.
the one problem I have is that according to the original writers guide for the series, saucer sep on a constitution class starship is an emergency procedure allowing the saucer to be used as a life boat. reattaching the saucer to the star drive would require an extended layover in a space dock.
That Sulu impersonation is spot on. I almost thought it was Takei for a second.
Sailorsega he did a good Spock, too
Thank you!
OH MYYYY!
Intresting
Doing a impression of Mr Sulu one my better voice impersonations. Mr Danhauser should least try get other people doing voices too.
A fitting tribute to James Doohan.
Can't believe Scotty has been gone 15 years!!!!!
If you like this one, you will also like "Ptolemy Wept" and there are MANY others (USS Farragut and others) fan made animated series episodes that are all brilliant and a true representation of classic Star Trek. Just look for them on YT.
Edit:. No shade for the creator of this episode as it is amazing and as with many ST TAS series, it shows what could have been accomplished if budgets allows (use of more humanoids even a birdman!) Like Lt M'Ress of Kait or Lt Arex whose race is tri limbed.
Did u read that they smuggled his ashes aboard the International Space Shuttle?
Thank you! Mr. Doohan was great in all the shows and movies and even on TNG. I also honor his service to the Allies in WWII. Great man! He is missed!
Montgomery Scott, the toughest red-shirt who ever lived.
Why a RED shirt, because we might not be coming back.
Actually Scotty a redshirt did die, watch the original episode "The Changeling"
@@juangallegos1048 But, he came back. He would have come back without NOMAD, he as that badass.
there was a black crewman who was the only red shirt who never died. Scotty died, but came back.
And never died while wearing a red shirt. ... Well he died a couple of times but he was always brought back!
“Careful what you wish for...”. Everyone looks at the cat woman.
I might hit it!
@@denniscarroll3164 [The monkey's paw curls one finger]
The tractor beam maneuver , or star ship bowling with asteroids.
Now that we've separated , we'll have to get a star base to get us back together.
Yeah I know , my cat got insulted when she used his cat box 🐱
Why is Star Trek so popular? 1. The primary colours. 2. The vision of a utopian future (at least for Earth). 3. The great stories. 4. The chemistry of the characters. 5. The comfortable family type atmosphere of the Enterprise. 6. The special effects. 7. The theme of space exploration. 8. Having been a pilot Roddenberry knew how to give the show the feel of how pilots and officers talk to one another-pilot/officer protocol.
Add: Gene L. Coon's ability to write relationships, more than just dialogue.
This is pure Star Trek at it's finest! Waaay better tribute to the first animated series and Scotty than the very short treks.
Why thank you!
1:48 to 1:51 When Scotty is rubbing his eyes after engaging in his favorite relaxing past time studying his Technical Journals his Rank on his sleeves alternate between Lieutenant Commander and Captain. A very subtle tribute to Scotty's Starship Command Ability shown in this episode and in the TNG episode Relics where he told Lieutenant Commander Geordi LaForge: "I may be Captain by Rank, but all I ever wanted to be was a Chief Engineer."
Bones had a brief temporary promotion a little later. 13:08 Oops? Not a criticism at all, I thoroughly enjoyed this. This blooper is more of an Easter egg, fun to look for.
Both of those inadvertent rank anomalies came from me reusing "cels" of Kirk doing those actions but not noticing the rank stripes. Oh well.☺
You should consider asking Chris Doohan to redo Scotty's dialog. He's pretty spot on.
James Doohan son should rerecord this episode..in the footsteps of his famous father.
One of the two Canadian voice actors along with William Shatner.
The little boy Scotty was talking to was his nephew Peter Preston, the very one who died of his wounds on " The wrath of Khan". Engineers mate, first class Peter Preston.
@@johnbockelie3899 YUP!
@@johnbockelie3899 Its a shame HE didnt have a proper burial like Spock, or the crewman that probably was not completely incinerated when the RELIANT lit up the torpedo bay in the nebula.
That "letter" from Peter was so touching... Wow, I didn't know the Enterprise could do that. Impressive!
Glad you liked it! Cheers.
The 1701 had the ability, in canon, to detach, but I believe it needed a star base facility to reattach. Something about using explosive bolts. Something like that. I much prefer this rendition of saucer separation though 👍🏻
Just right, I do believe a star base was required to reattach, however the animated series could have presented a saucer separation much more easily that a live action show could, & could have explained it as an upgrade. I’m surprised they didn’t think to do it. Great element in an excellent episode!
Yes Scotty, encourage Peter to go into Starfleet. What could possibly go wrong
I can't believe I'm only now realizing that Auxiliary Control was the TOS analog to the TNG battle bridge.
Yes. It was one of my favorite sets from TOS. Was never seen in animated form until this video.
So... the saucer section could actually separate in TOS?
@@eugenetswong Yes. The original Enterprise was designed for saucer separation. It was mentioned in the episode, "The Apple", but never performed, due to the technical and budgetary constraints of the time.
The finale of the excellent fan series, "Star Trek Continues", does a nice job depicting it.
czcams.com/video/UVUA5aItQD0/video.html
How did you do this animation?
@@eugenetswong So far as I know, it was never hinted at until TNG, but one might extrapolate backwards and assume they had the technology in TOS but it just never came up. Remember they were limited to using large physical models, not 3d digital models. A saucer separation with the actual enterprise model may have put the model at risk of serious damage because it was not originally designed or that.
My young sons and I are huge fans of TOS and TAS. We have enjoyed your animated episodes for years now. We decided to watch “The Quintain” after Father’s Day dinner. Thank you so much for making these new animated episodes in the spirit of the original animated series. It must be a labor of love on your part, but thousands of people have been enriched by your efforts! Thank you again from my entire family. 😀
Wow, thanks! You are so welcome! Yes, a labor of love!
TAS?
@@amram1305 Acronyms: TAS = The Animated Series, TOS = The Original Series
@@CHDanhauser ...thx
Archer maneuver. Nice.
I caught that reference immediately when Scotty called for it.
James Doohan, landed on D-Day.
Wounded by friendly fire and tragically lost middle finger on right hand. A true Canadian war hero.
Killed 3 enemy sharpshooters during landing. True badass.
indeed, as a canadian troop
Thank you. I met James years before he passed away. He was a kind and great person like De Forest was. I thanked him for his service in WW2 of which he was a veteran. He teared up and thanked me. I'll never forget that day. It made me feel really good. He was a great man! Keep up the good work. I enjoyed it!🖖☺
I am glad you thanked him for his service. I always take time to thank veterans whenever I see them. I also thank police officers for their service as well. By the way, I am also a veteran. I was a US Navy Officer back in the 1980's.
Good story writing and premise, I was not expecting the medieval reference. Also you hit me in the feels with Scotty's nephew as I just watched Wrath of Khan a couple of days ago. Keep up the great work!!
Oh damn. I had completely forgotten about that until I read this. Now I'm sad.
"He stayed at his post when the trainees ran....." 🖖✌👍
@@notyou8716 "Sister's youngest, eager to get out into space.."
@@calanon534 Peter Preston, yeah.
He died in his uncles arms 😢
Everyone loves a "Scotty in command" episode. Fantastic job, please make more!
This is great. I have a huge amount of nostalgia for TAS so any more that is this well done is great!
Agreed! Love the dark atmosphere of the background music of TAS!
I was a very excited 7 year old on September 8, 1973, when Star Trek: The Animated Series premiered. I have to tell you that I feel so nostalgic watching your episode, very well done! For those of us who can remember that far back, it was a time when any Trek was welcomed, and besides TMP, the only Trek produced in the 1970's. You have captured the spirit of the time perfectly, and hope to see more from you!
I was ten.
@@earlsmith7428 Nine! I can remember it like it was yesterday being excited to see new star trek. Saturday Mournings eating my captain crunch in front of the big tv. Last year when Netflix had TAS, I would watch an episode every Saturday mourning.
I was 11! I'm glad you appreciate my humble efforts. It was a labor of love.
@@CHDanhauser Can you and do you make a living doing this?
The last Animated Series episode screened in the US on the day I was born.
It was like a lost episode of Star Trek the Animated Series. Beautifully done.
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it!
This was so amazingly well done, that I thought it was an episode from the original 1973-74 series that I had somehow never seen. Bravo!
Good episode and some great views of the Enterprise that the original TAS never had
I'm glad you noticed. I added a number of brand new angles of the big E.
You can’t help notice they had a lot more alien crew members serving on board than just Spock with the cartoon series.
Pencils and colored inks are cheaper than make-up and prosthetics, after all . . .
That was the beauty of animation. All costumes and makeup jobs cost the same.
Spectacular!!! This is a great tribute to Jimmy Doohan!!! Job Well Done!!!
Quite a pleasant surprise to revisit this ship and crew.
Though it was sad to see the lad who won't have much of a future.
Well done, Curt. A terrific episode. I enjoyed it immensely. After spending an afternoon lamenting the lack of quality Trek fan films the past few months (with a few notable exceptions, of course), this one was just what I needed. Thanks for sharing it with us all!
Much appreciated!
Wonder how an animated "Enterprise"/ "TOS" cross-over would work since "Strange New Worlds" is already combining the two programmes with 2 other animated Treks.
LOL, so the crew accidentally found themselves in a galactic version of the Danger Room. Nice!
Thank you! Really appreciate the effort it took to make this.
Thank you. You have no idea! ;-)
Well done! It is as if I was back in '74 watching this on Saturday morning. I like how you added some current touches to this in the Archer and Mayweather maneuvers! these must take you months to produce, but I hope you keep bring more episodes for us to enjoy!
Wow, thanks! Yes, takes many, many months. I hope to do more.
Well-written and well done!
Thank you kindly!
Man, this is really good. It really felt like ST animated series. I have to say I feel so good and nostalgic watching this. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to the spirit of the series.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I tried hard to make it faithful to the animated series both in appearance and in spirit.
You put a great deal of work and love into these. Remember when Star Trek was THE sci-fi franchise, and not because science fiction had been done to death.
Just watched this, thoroughly enjoyed! Especially the tribute to James “Scotty” Doohan.
Glad you appreciated it! Cheers.
So much beautiful hardware on display in this episode! ♥️
I'm glad you appreciate all the extra touches I added. Cheers!
Okay, you had me fooled. I did not realize this was a fan effort until it was almost over; I thought this was an episode of the original animated series, which I hadn't seen in many decades. Good job.
This is great, thank you for making it!
I'm so glad you're making these again.
8:32 - hate to be 'that' guy, but the ship had at most 23 decks, typically (and not 24)
Still, if it can happen to the Enterprise-E too... ( :
Glad you like them! By the way, I love the FTL newsfeeds on your channel. Wow that took me back! I also recall watching the live countdown that went on for days before Sci-Fi Channel began broadcasting. Remember that?
Scotty, drinking and stalking Starfleet Facebook... :D
Scotty's secret entertainment , drinking and stalking girls over the ships computer.
@@johnbockelie3899 -- That was his personal photo album, so those must have been women from his past whom he gave up to pursue his Star Fleet career.
Rather … stalking Space Book
@@rafaelvargas3259 *toasts*
Felt just like the old cartoons I saw as a kid! It's a fantastic tribute to James Doohan as well!Great job! Hope to see more!
Better than modern ST in any form, including Lower Decks. Well Done!
Wow. I’ve been fan of the animated series since 1973. Very nostalgic, including some of the music. The voices are really pretty good as well.
Nice old fashion Trek story, really enjoyed this!
Be careful! You keep up this amazing level of awesomeness and homage to the original animated series, CBS will get jealous and come out with a new series of ridiculous guidelines for animated fan films.
Love this! Well done and a fitting tribute to James Doohan!
Thank you so much! It was dedicated to James Doohan. Chris Doohan is his actor son.
James Doohan did by his own acting ability become the fourth of the great 4 characters of TOS Star Trek. There are too many TOS episodes where Scotty is ultimate cool and an excellent subordinate to Capt. Kirk. He would have been the first choice, next in line, to captain a starship.
Gene would be very proud of your work! Excellent job!
Wow, thank you!
I always make it a point of watching anything that involves the original series or the animated series. The stories can always continue this way.
"Buffalo folk, won't you come out tonight..." ^_^
Why not? The more aliens, the merrier. One of the great things about the animated series is that it was so much easier to create aliens.
Thanks for making these. TAS premiered when I was 10, and it was my introduction to Trek.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a good story. I loved the saucer separation sequence. The use of tricorder specs on Scott's computer was good touch along with the rendering of the auxiliary control room. Doctor Oldsmobile, the mustache, that took over Spock's station was a bit much, but he was oh so 70's. It would be nice to look into Spock's scanner and see something else other than a heartbeat. Very well done. Bravo.
That mustachioed fellow at the science console was Lt. Kyle and he is straight from the animated series. And, yes, the Filmation animators did give him a 70's style cookie duster.
What a great episode. And a wonderful homage to James Doohan. I'm also impressed at what the animated series could do with sets - not just fantastic designs, but the extent of the Enterprise shuttle bay with its multiple craft and designs. Also, you did awesome with the saucer separation sequence.
Wow, I watched the originals in 1973, and if you had told me this was one of them, my response would be, "Really? Gee, I guess I must have missed one then. Not sure how, but that was nearly 50 years go. So I'm getting old and just forgot this one." It's that close to the original's quality and feel.
Scott & McCoy sharing an "adult beverage"--THAT would have never happened on the actual Animated Series. Can you imagine the parental complaints? ^__^
You're probably right, but I can't help but recall 'The Slaver Weapon' where the Kzinti were obviously killed when the weapon exploded. Another Saturday morning no-no. Perhaps the censors just didn't catch on... :-)
Actually, Kirk and Spock drink what appears to be beer from large tankards at the end of "The Magicks of Megas-tu"
Nah, people are way more sensitive and more easily offended today. The drink would have been fine. I grew up in (and survived) the 70’s where many of the toys at the time could literally kill you...
CHDanhauser Exactly!
@@CHDanhauser I am a great fan of your work, and as a fan of TOS and TAS, I truly appreciate it. You manage to portray the naval traditions of Starfleet, as opposed to the corporate management style of command I get from TNG and later incarnations, and you write great stories, to boot!
I know it's fanmade, but the voicework could be slightly better... The rest is pure brilliance
Well, considering that only one or two of the cast of both the Star Trek AND Star Trek: The Animated Series are still alive, that is kind of a difficult task to perform.
@@paxhumana2015 interesting, I got this in recommendations one hour ago, and watched it!
I am Star Trek fan for 36 years, & am 46 old now. Started with watching the Search for Spock in the theatre . In Europe and in '85 or 1986! Not sure, but soon came ST II The Wrath of Khan on TV and very soon ST IV The Voyage Home in the movies, theatre. I remembered watching the motion picture on TV but I was too young then, I make connection to the sequels after watching ST IV ! After that TNG came.
TOS watched in 2002/3! There was TOS on satellite on Germany TV channel synchronized on German so I skipped it..
@@paxhumana2015 Mel Blanc has been dead for more than 30 years, but there are still people who can voice Bugs Bunny. Sorry, but Scott L. is right -- the voice work could have been better. And the rest is pure brilliance.
The main voice sounds like a computer voice with a sore throat.
Do you propose to “reanimate” dead actors? 😆
You have no idea how happy you doing this -and with the soundbyte library! AWESOME
Glad you enjoy it!
@@CHDanhauser Don't mean to sound greedy, but are there more on the horizon?
@@SpencerFine Thanks. I am working on scripts for the next five, but I may only find time for one or two more.
@@CHDanhauser You might want to check out or collaborate with AuroraTrek or NextWorldVR. That last guy ripped actual dialogue from the pc games and assembles episodes using their actual voices. It's awesome. Thanks for the update!
That was great, solid writing, good story, characters, musical score totally 100% enjoyable...and cudos for doing a Scotty episode and the dedication! 👍👍👍
You are very welcome, sir! It was a labor of love!
Fantastic work mate, wish you would do more of those longer ones .
Very in the spirit of the good classics ,subbed !
Why thank you! It is a labor of love! I'm working on one for next year.
This was a great animated series. I remember watching them in 1974. I was 14 yrs old at the time...how bout some original Jonny Quest episodes. They were also cool to watch.
Just came across this and was almost shell shocked at how good this was. been a while since I watched what felt like a new Star Trek Episode. Thank you.
Why thank you! It was a labor of love!
well done sir. I at first thought this was an episode i missed. Well done indeed.
Thank you! I appreciate the kudos.
Wow holy crap dude. Awesome and heartfelt, I just found this via thumbnail and half expected some sort of Sealab-style parody, but you might have put out one of the best episodes in the series that helped start me on Star Trek 35 years ago. Neat! Thanks.
Wow, thanks!
Very Filmation-y! Perfect amount of cheesiness. Felt like just like the animated series. Clearly you put a lot of love into this.
Thank you so much 🙂. All of the Filmation-y angles were loving inserted to ensure this fit in with what was done in mid-1970s. Cheers!
This was better than any TAS I remember! Well done!
You got Scotty's ACCENT PERFECT!!!!!
A great adventure in the true Star Trek tradition.
If I was Mr Scott, I would have blasted the alien ship and then taken a large piece with the tractor beam to prevent its re-assembly. I presume if I had kept it from re-assembling, it could not have attacked again. Great story and well executed.
@Billy William that's actually where I thought he was going when they figured out the interval, and time it to make their escape.
I was thinking that he might have tractored another asteroid and put it in the middle of the ship while it was reassembling. That would have gummed up the works long enough for an escape whereas a torpedo would have just scattered the pieces again so it could reform again.
He probably did that and a number of other things since they were fighting with it for hours, only a few minutes of which were shown in this video.
Wow that was Awesome! Well done Curt! I realize how important the music is, it sets the mood and says so much without words. I was taken back to 70's, 10 yrs old, Saturday morning. Thank you!! 🖖🙏🏼😁
Wow, thank you! I was eleven when TAS first aired.
Well done! Took me back 50 years, and who said time travel isn’t possible?!
I'd rather watch more of such fan-made efforts than more of ST Lower Decks. There's a missing opportunity for CBS Viacom there.
You're entitled to that opinion but i personally believe LD is one of the best series since DS9. The Discovery is the one who is making a mockery out of the Roddenberry Universe
This is magnificent. Just like Filmation would've done it.
I love how the bridge actually looks like it belongs to a ship in a Federation with all the different alien species.
I am very glad you enjoyed it!
Seriously, this is a fan film ? The choppy/minimalist animation, the drab music, the un synced speaking.... is freeking perfect.... I really thought I was watching some Hannah Barbara stuff from the early 70's .....this is awesome. Great work.
Mayweather 7. Nice reference.
If you're a child of the 70's, this was probably your first introduction to "Star Trek".🙂
No, it was my first introduction to new episodes. I'm glad my father lived long enough to see them.
@@ydoomenaud It was definitely my first introduction to "Star Trek". I'd never even heard of it before I saw the cartoon version. It was about a year later when they started showing the reruns of the original series on our local station. Like most kids my age, I quickly became a fan!
Your work is always fantastic and greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much for allowing us to see and live you art.
You are so welcome!
Wow! what an exciting and fabulous episode of Star Trek! my congratulations on a wonderful job. I loved the Archer and Garth maneuvers. Very well done!
Thank you so much!
Great Scott centric episodes with special effects only possible at an animated budget ... And I have to watch a second time to get all the classic TAS cut-to-cut inconsistencies ... (Without these it would not be a TAS episode)
Outstanding! This really took me back to my childhood when I watched reruns of the Star Trek animated series on Saturday mornings! Thank you.
That's awesome!
That was beautiful, truly a work of art and heartful homage to our hero Scotty, got me feeling quite emotional there with that ending. Kudos to you, it was a great pleasure to watch this really well made episode.
Thank you so much! I am so glad that the story resonated with you. The project was a labor of love. Take care.
@@CHDanhauser Any new episodes in the works?
So many things I miss about the TOS Enterprise: Automatic shields, can accelerate to maximum warp in reverse, had at least six forward photon torpedo launchers. TAS was a great addition to the TOS era and should have gone on longer than it did.
Nice to see a new episode after all these years. :-)
Hope you enjoyed it!
This was fantastic. You really captured the the whole experience of the animated series!
Ah!!! This IS STAR TREK!! Loved this. it has everything. thank you Captain Curt and Crew for doing this...Star Trek lives...AGAIN!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope to find time to craft subsequent new eps.
This is seriously a perfect 100% recreation of the look and feel of the original animated series
Glad you liked it!
Liked the voice differences this time. Good job.
Thanks for listening
This was really good. Love how the other spaceship had the Moonbase Alpha sound effect from Space:1999.
Nice! I wondered if anyone would notice. The ambient sound from Alpha's Main Mission was one of the two sounds added for the alien ship bridge.

Watching this is like going back to those good old days 😁 Thanks for sharing this heartwarming video.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was a labor of love.
Very good animated episode, just like the original animated series. For a moment I actually thought it was.
I love the Filmation errors you added, like Lt. Arex all of a sudden turning into the blue shirted guy.
Or McCoy having the sleeve rank of a captain in one scene.
That was super cool!!!
Thank You Curt for making this. I truly enjoyed it.
My pleasure! It was a labor of love!
Not just a good job, but a great job. Well done sir. Thanks. Also i'm subscribe to your channel with all notifications turned on. Again thanks.
I appreciate that!
While I enjoyed Lower Decks, this made me feel like a kid again from the 70's. More of these, please. Well done and you did most of the voice-overs wow.
That was FANTASTIC!!! Please, PLEASE keep doing these!!!
I loved the original animated series. They did their best to live up to the original live action. Being animated gave them some options live action couldn't do, so we saw some pretty cool stuff.
Very cool, this could have been included in the original animated series. Well done.
