I have heard in the past that the cartoon is a legitamite part of the Star Trek unverise and heard the opposite too. Whether books, movies, whatever, have an effect on the timeline of Trek is called it being "canonized." Does anyone know for sure? Or is this a debatable question that can't be put in stone?

The eventul unconization of the animated series is similar to the fact that Trelane from the original series could not be officially be considered to be a "Q" (I've tried to find some good sources on this - if you have some please post them) that he could not officially be a "Q" because royalties, etc, would have had to been payed to the writer who created Trelane.

For a variety of reasons (most likely legal ones, such as the use of concepts from Niven's own works), Paramount Pictures does not consider The Animated Series to be canon with the rest of the Star Trek universe. Gene Roddenberry reportedly asked soon before his death that the series not be considered canon. An official accounting as to why the series has been "decanonized" has yet to occur.

It is part of the official Trek Universe. I loved it.
