CRITICAL ROLE ANIMATIC - "The Great Race" (c2e73)

[@demonchildDLC]

Caleb's Wisdom save fail and he just DROPS made me fail a wisdom save

[@underthependulum3484]

Caleb going into PTSD over the firecrackers is horrifically funny

[@alyssagorski7538]

The failed wisdom save is KILLING ME

[@christopherbacon1077]

"It was a fair race" In that you both cheated horribly, yes

[@BeinIan]

Street rules lol

[@StevenJQuinlan]

I mean they were both operating on the same rules, that there weren't any

[@BeinIan]

@@StevenJQuinlan Have you seen Community? That made me think of, "You already know the rules... BECAUSE THERE AAAREN'T ANYYYYY!!!"

[@user-ru4cl5lz2m]

@@BeinIan"Jesus christ Dan are you on coke!??!" Or something like that

[@thornangel16]

So in other words, a bit like Mario Kart! It’s not cheating if everybody’s throwing shells and using mushrooms to go faster!

[@starviper1813]

Nott: "I'm gonna win this race with my nimble dexterity....and this gun I found!"

[@ill_hex8103]

I love how part of the Matt visual gag is him as Levi, since he voices him in the English Dub. But Caleb fainting in the background and Beau’s thiccness had me dying.

[@Kyle-cw2in]

How did I nott know this?

[@p0cket_kitten236]

I loved that the gun said Ninten De Rolo on it

[@torioakley6000]

Literally came to the comments to say that and Man U gotta love the detail

[@jacobcorturillo6537]

He was also angi and iron man

[@sadrainy]

Everything about this is just top tier. Every little hidden thing, every different transportation Matt takes to the tree, I just. The Rolointendo.... I could keep rambling, this is just SO good.

[@Taneth]

The Traveller with the Matt puppet, holding a gun that says "quif"

[@IceLordCryo]

"NO! WITH MY GUN!" Love that part XD

[@hillhouseproductions]

(S)he sounds like a white woman living in the hood. Don’t ask me how I know that, I just do.

[@akawater]

“IT’S WORTH IT!” 😂😂 The animation really captured the essence of this scene. 👍

[@WingedWyrm]

I love that, by both their standards, this was a fair race.

[@selfdestructivecat4922]

So many great moments! I love the scene with the firecrackers, where it falls in front of Caleb who promptly fails a wisdom roll and falls over. And Jester telling them to be quiet while literally screaming, to all of Matt’s different characterizations. And your animations are so SMOOTH! Like the transition with Jester and Fjord, and Nott doing some “parkour shit”. I love the small moments of intense shading. They really add drama! Another amazing animatic from you!

[@StellarCircleStudios]

I'm really happy you enjoyed the details! You're very kind, thank you!

[@exmo7]

I like the clip of Percy you included. "DIE DIE DIE!"

[@jnzupka]

I thought he was screaming out “Delilah”

[@davidcurry5240]

Caleb’s failed wis save over the firecracker killed me

[@maudphilippot1363]

Oh my god you're the same person that made THE ENTIRE narrative telephone of beau. Your animation style is sooooo smooth and jesus. I paused an unholy amount of time to spot all the Easter eggs, I love it well done!

[@StellarCircleStudios]

Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words!

[@nightstrider15]

Thaddeus being at the top and getting scared away was the cherry on top of this 😅

[@timwoods2852]

Sakura's wand with the Fly card made my day.

[@kjj26k]

Top tier of Critical Role animations.

[@Alivender1]

Tusk love had me dying... ah who am I trying to kid, the entire thing did.

[@sullivan108]

The bit where Beau kicks the blood at Nott was amazing.

[@madomeda771]

The different ways you make Matt keep up with Beau and Nott 😂👌🏻💯

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

Mercer being saved as "Matt McCree" is great, since he voices the character and we're talking firearms. xDDD Also, that dissonance in his selfie was Beau was 👌. So glad the most important part made it in: "The gun you have _one_ bullet for!?" *_"IT'S WORTH IT!"_*

[@lizavet6696]

Oh my gosh this was so fantastic. Betwen the random shots of super high detail, the running gag of Matt having a million ways to keep up with the two, the observations of the other party members looking on in horror at this absolute crapshow of a race, this was so amazing.

[@StellarCircleStudios]

Such kind words! Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it :)

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

I loved Matt as the various flying people but Lakitu was a special one for me.

[@lasonris8934]

Even as a cartoon, Matt is a handsome bastard

[@ricochet1741]

The level of detail is incredible. Absolutely amazing

[@StellarCircleStudios]

Thank you so much! :)

[@nicooooo0]

your animation made the scene 10x funnier

[@takkiddiex2868]

Calling out to all of the people that recognized the card captor staff. You're both awesome.

[@CotalCosta]

This is amazing! The wisdom fail on the fire cracker had me

[@breawilldraw]

This is the single best fan animatic I have ever seen in my entire life, thank you for this

[@Tahkaullus01]

Matt in ODM Gear discussing a race up a big-ass tree. Nice

[@lx-icon]

Hoooooly hell this is amazing!!!

[@snakeinabox7220]

I love the 100 diffrent tipes of Matts, from hand pupet matt to iron matt

[@LocalMaple]

0:37 Flurry of blows from the fury of Beau’s.

[@panzarhawk8709]

This is genuinely one of the funniest goddamn things I've seen. What got me was "Nott as a bitch" good stuff, subbed

[@Velvet]

This is truly a beautiful nesting doll of Easter eggs. This & when Cad flicked Truly Seeing ‘shroom juice in Beau’s eyes at the party are two of my all time fav scenes from the M9. I’ve watched this 3x’s & I’m still noticing new bits.

[@Lawcoom]

I had a drunken master monk and we came across a group of bandits who for some reason had a gun and my monk cough it and threw it back killing the bandit. I roll played like he had caught it in his teeth and spit it back at the bandit. I LOVE MONKS!

[@Sys3m3rr0r]

This is probably my favorite animatic, hands down. The animation of Matt and of small moments are amazing. Also your art style is adorable. ‘Wisdom save fail’ with Caleb is my favorite little scene :)

[@real_trash244]

Matt makes visual Pop Culture references for 4 minutes

[@matthewletexier]

The personality and talent in this animatic is phenomenal

[@StellarCircleStudios]

I'm so happy to read your kind comment; I really appreciate it :)

[@tomaszskowronski1406]

Matt and his various modes of transportation will always make me smile

[@Darkness09ization]

I love all the different things Matt flies on. Also the text chat between Sam and Matt🤣

[@HaveaBiscuitt]

🌈 you kinda did catch it ⭐️

[@some_Rando_watching]

This has no right to be as funny as it is

[@jaymistry1169]

How in the hell you can make already hilarious and packed scene better with tons of extra references is beyond me. Awesome job.

[@olgerkhan9331]

i like the detail for the wisdom fail from caleb by the exkloding firecracker, well done xD

[@khaivanlhomme3330]

Dude ! Everything, EVERYTHING in this animatic is great! The style, the additional gags, the synchronization with the audio, *chef's kiss*. I'll wait for others from you :)

[@StellarCircleStudios]

Thank you for the kind words! Hopefully I'll have more out soon.

[@jeremiahswinson2258]

All the ways you had mercer were pure perfection

[@katie2893]

i lost it at fjord holding jester with tusk love displayed :D

[@TakeWalker]

This entire thing was incredible. :D Every scene better than the last, this sequence never gets old.

[@ElectricBongos]

Very funny! Loved all the stages of Matt

[@artisannoteworthy]

"I'm going to f---ing crush you. I will destroy everyone you know and love, and when You have nothing left, and ur spirit is broken and your world is completely shattered ONLY THEN will I let you d1e." " . . . Um?" "Sorry. Wrong person. 14" The detail you put into a SECOND of screen time is amazing. XD

[@catandrobbyflores]

Mercer on a moped... ok I can't get over how amazing this is!

[@christianlecroy980]

Matt on a moped is the best

[@Feasco]

one braincell between them and NEITHER is using it

[@fierceditiesnaruto]

THIS is how you Dungeons & Dragons people! XD

[@echoc7213]

Every second of this was amazing! Holy crap I'm crying XD I just watched this through and then went back through so slow to catch all the Easter eggs. And I'm in love with Matt's narration as he pops up as all the different characters! ❤🤣

[@StellarCircleStudios]

You're so kind, thank you! I'm glad when people can spot the easter eggs; it's nice to know they're being noticed :)

1:36 in the bottom right corner. Love that detail

[@zonmisty1231]

Your jokes are solid my dude The transition is smooth, the animation is fun and interesting, and just Matts different forms of transportation
