stoned_vulcan 0 Posted April 24, 2004 okay this is a two part question....do you think that the cartoon version of Capt. Kirk was actually a better actor than Shatner? the 2nd part to the question is: who do you think looks sharper Shatner, or the cartoon Kirk..... personally i think the real one was slightly better actor, but the cartoon looked amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jefffitz 0 Posted April 24, 2004 Cartoons don't need toupee's or girdles, but Kirk is a bad muther live action or animated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted June 8, 2004 do you think that the cartoon version of Capt. Kirk was actually a better actor than Shatner? Now that you mention it I believe you're right, the cartoon Kirk was less hammy. Even less "animated" than in real life but I like the hammy passionate version of him in live action more. who do you think looks sharper Shatner, or the cartoon Kirk..... personally i think the real one was slightly better actor, but the cartoon looked amazing Hmmm, I aways thought the animation style of TAS left MUCH to be desired. It's a shame they cut so many corners on TAS; too much stock fottage re-use, it could have looked allot better imo but I'm glad to have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jefffitz 0 Posted June 13, 2004 I like the way Shatner runs in TAS- he jacks his elbows way up in the air, like he's doing the Funky Chicken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoveMalePecs1 0 Posted June 13, 2004 (edited) If i recall the Animated Series of the late 70's i'd say the real Shatner was better than the animated version but was still fairly close to what he looked like at the time :( Edited June 13, 2004 by LoveMalePecs1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TransporterMalfunction 1 Posted June 13, 2004 The "live" Shatner wears a toupee????!!!! How do we know that the animated Shatner does not wear one as well?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
please delete 0 Posted July 16, 2004 I'm not really a big fan of Shatner. I think the cartoon looks better... cartoons always seem to stay in shape... *watches Kirk's tribble toupee eat his head* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted March 11, 2005 The live one is more animated - wait - I think I've confused myself, or not. The animated one will always remain in shape, even if it does run funny. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted May 5, 2007 The live action Kirk had more physical definition, but that's to be expected. I don't know if I would say one was more hammy than the other. I think just the fact that he could only use his voice limited how much Shatner could actually do with animated Kirk, and that the animators had a good share of it too. Live action Kirk just works better for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
