Review

Like The Girl Who Made the Stars, this is a reasonably charming little story, making better use of the animated medium than TAS. Unfortunately the framing device makes it impossible to reconcile with canon. There is no reason Starfleet would make an educational film about a technology that has been classified in order to be buried and forgotten.
