Editing Star Trek: The Animated Series (section)

=== Music ===
The animated series dispensed with the original series' theme music, composed by [[Alexander Courage]], in favor of a new theme credited to Yvette Blais and Jeff Michael, but actually written by Filmation composer [[Ray Ellis]]. Ellis used the pseudonym Yvette Blais (the [[maiden name]] of his wife) due to complications with royalties and publishing companies, while Jeff Michael is a pseudonym for producer [[Norm Prescott]], who received a pseudonymous credit and a cut of the royalties on all of Filmation's music as part of a standard deal for the time.<ref name=RetFan1/> Writing on [[Facebook]]'s ''[[Starlog]]'' Magazine official page in March 2021, David Gerrold revealed that the reason for this was a longstanding feud between Courage and Roddenberry over [[Residual (entertainment industry)|residual payments]] for airings of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek: TOS]]'' episodes using the original theme: "When Courage turned in the original music, Roddenberry added his own lyrics to it, thereby depriving Courage of half his residuals. Courage never forgave Roddenberry and refused to give permission for the reuse of the theme. That's why new music was written for the animated series and again for the movies."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Gerrold|first=David|date=March 3, 2021|title="12 Fascinating Facts About 'Star Trek: The Animated Series," comments section|url=https://www.facebook.com/groups/StarlogMagazine|access-date=March 6, 2021|website=Facebook}}</ref>
