It seems that around the time the PC game "Starfleet Academy" was popular, a computer game by Interplay was under development which boasted the members of TOS on 5 episodes penned by Trek favorite D.C. Fontana. The episodes were in reality a 5 part novel. The voice sessions of these scripts represent the last time the entire original cast of TOS was gathered for a full-fledged Trek project.
The previews and trailers for this game were released, but shortly after the last Trek game was released, Interplay pulled the plug on the project.
Given the episodic nature of the game, a good animated movie (a la "Final Fantasy") with an actually intelligent plot may yet emerge.
I don't hold my breath, tho.

Future question: suppose someone develops a voice system that can take all that DeForest Kelley said in movies and the TV show, and can translate any dialogue typed in to sound like him. I'm not talking about clipped, obviously computer speech, but perfect sentences, cadence, and emotional response. They do it for all of the ToS characters. The alive actors and Kelley's heirs have already agreed for some contract price. Would you watch the animated show? Writing and plots are okay. Assume what ever you like, I'm just wondering if people will watch things they know are complete computer simulations pretending to be human. (Saying we already have animations, but these aren't based on real actors....for the most part.)
