Being animated means the aliens can look less human and the crew find themselves in more bizarre adventures.
The animated series has the same tone as the original series and the stories, although shorter have a very similar feeling. There are a few stories that seem to have influential later episodes from other series, including the first holo-deck story although here it's just known as the rec room.

I won’t say a lot because of spoilers, but there are some aspects of this film that are quite good but for me they were spoilt by the fact that this is just set in tall grass, and that’s not scary or particularly suspenseful. The cast are mostly good but it gets a bit hammy at times and the sheer craziness of some of the scenes just makes it all a bit ridiculous. There are some good ideas in this, it’s just a shame it’s spoilt by a lot of bonkers goings on and a rather lacklustre setting.

Of the three authors, Tchaikovsky is probably the best stylist, McDonald manages to find some humanity and depth in fairly unlikely places, while Gauntlett is the pulpiest. None of them attempt to actually copy Lovecraft's idiosyncratic prose style, which is probably a blessing. None of the stories are genuinely inspired, but they're usually very readable even if they sometimes get a touch bizarre.
