December 2, 2012    Spooftakular No. 26   Stalled Trek: Amutt Time  is a puppet parody of Star Trek TOS with 3D animation by an adult fan.  It is currently available for purchase  on DVD, but not on the internet.
For information on purchasing this DVD click here:   Stalled Trek: Amutt Time
Discussion and Reviews: Discussion of Amutt Time  I took my 'reviewers copy' of the DVD to a Trek-loving friend's house who often tolerates (barely) my love of Star Trek fan films, but who has a taste for parodies.  He loved it.  He was stopping it to avoid missing the next part because he was laughing so hard.  He pronounced it the best Star Trek Fan parody I had shown him, better even than his prior favorite, Stone Trek.  In light of his enthusiasm, I have named Stalled Trek: Amutt Time a Quick Pick Treasure.
