Despite not seeing that episode, I think I know which one you are talking about because of TV Tropes. I think they listed an episode plot under the fountain of youth trope page about the crew of whichever iteration of Star Trek being sent to an alternate dimension where time moves backwards. They may have had others as well listed, but I can't remember since it's been a while since I've checked that page.

I'm not sure which episode that one is! I was thinking of a Next Generation episode named "Rascals", episode seven of season six. Captain Picard and three others from the Enterprise suffer a transporter accident that de-ages them back to children.

I think I've seen the clip of that specific scene. Can't remember the episode name or series I was thinking of. I'll probably look it up and see which it is.

I found it. I'm more of a second hand exposure kind of Star Trek person, so I figured that it would be part of one the many live action series. I was wrong and wondering why I couldn't find it under the live-action TV example subpage of TV Tropes fountain of youth page.

It's in the 70s animated cartoon in an episode called The Counter-Clock Incident. Considering I've been in the room while my dad watched an episode of the cartoon, I'm absolutely not watching this episode because the quality of the show screams 70s low budget cheap and lifeless animation, but I cannot stop anyone reading this from viewing it if they so please.
