Critical Role Animatic - Snowman and Snowfight (C2E114)

[@Salt_discriminater]

Caleb doesn't throw snow at his friends. He throws his friends at snow

[@Deelusi]

The best use of Uno Reverse

[@altejoh]

Missed the part where the guards suddenly realized they are all high level adventurers after Caleb's telekinesis, that was gold xD

[@13vatra]

Exactly, I loved Matt's description there.

[@Butonz1]

It really IS genuinely off putting how disarmingly charming Jester is >.>

[@onemisterfranko]

seriously it truly is off putting. She can get just about anyone to talk to her with how nice she is to people.

[@Lamaart_]

@@onemisterfranko she is so nice that you like like a dick if you don't reciprocate the conversation with her XD

[@onemisterfranko]

@@Lamaart_ kind of, I'm wondering though I don't think we have ever seen her actually angry at someone, upset in a parent kind of way but like outright seething with anger. I fear that day, nice people are exactly that until you give them a very good reason not to be anymore.

[@Lamaart_]

@@onemisterfranko i feel you. i am that kind of person. i don't get angry a lot. i fear the day when i explode

[@onemisterfranko]

[@TiliaCordata]

I love the little smile you gave Caleb when he said "worth it". That was such a childlike moment for him, and also a little dadlike. I melted when it happened and that smile just warms my heart.

[@thelegendarymage9454]

Not to mention that he has depression so that means it really meant a lot to him.

[@im9550]

The moment beau crouches down to help Caleb build a snowman was very reminiscent of a big sister too. As was her kicking it originally if my sister is any indicator

[@ephemispriest8069]

"I'm Jester!" What usually follows after something oddly heartwarming.

[@QuietlyDyingInside]

A very cute and wholesome moment with the Mighty Nein in the snow unbeknownst to them their employer is getting murdered in the background lol

*distant unholy screeching turning to gurgling*

when the meanwhile appeared on screen, it was exactly that I was picturing.

[@drymink1952]

The Jester-Caleb size difference is cracking me up, and the entire Jester-builds-a-snowman-with-the-'poor'-guard segment is WONDERFUL!!

[@stingerjohnny9951]

The idea of jester being THIS tiny while also being one of the strongest members of the party is hilarious to me, especially the image of her lifting up Fjord

"Hey Buddy... Payback isabitch" YEEEEEEEEEEEEET

[@RuteL]

I dunno if this will amuse you as much as it does me, and I guess not Telekenisis, but in the D&D game I'm in we call the Catapult spell "Power Word: Yeet". :D

[@blackfox371]

@@RuteL This amuses me greatly!!!! I must use this going forward!!!!

[@spacecowboyeddie6803]

"Hey buddy, payback is a bitch~" Oh Caleb, I adore you. Love the expression you gave him at that moment.

[@nairocamilo]

"The first part might be a bit stale because I wanted to practice more on dialogue scene ---" Hey, it's alright! I read somewhere that dialogue is some of the most enticing parts of a book, we are always captivated by characters just... talking. So it's great practice, however stale it might seem

[@Deelusi]

Thank you Nairo 🥰

[@ZackRToler]

That man will forever wonder what happened to Jester. Left beyond the wall with her friends and never returned.

Dagon is alive out there. Bet he told anybody who would listen about the crazy people that turned a polar worm into a turtle

[@wolftamer117]

Odds are jester will randomly message him while he's pooping

[@connorclemmons8698]

A missed opportunity at the end to show the description of the guards watching two people get flung by a wizard. They go from enjoying the playfulness, to suddenly realizing how strong the MN is.

[@jbpeony7872]

jester is cold resistant cuz her presence is so warm. I love the fluff moments in this campaign, the Nien are such good friends. This filed my heart to the brim thank you.

[@corumhayes8178]

I remember watching the live showing of this episode and absolutely loved Jester and the guard who wanted to play. You really did a great job of capturing Jester's infectious goofiness and the guard being caught between want to act like a kid while keeping up a surly appearance

[@Practicallypreposterous]

Rookie technique, it takes three guards to build a snowman

[@syazamuzini3299]

My favourite part? Jester bouncing with demands and Caleb's smile at the end ☺

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

Happy Caleb is so rare. Its such a treat.

[@Kilometers2go]

Nobody is immune to Jester’s charm.

[@Styxintheriver]

Caleb and Beau are like siblings. They're fantastic

[@ziggy78eog]

Jester: singing, "Caleb, do you wanna build a snowman?"

[@Sp4rt4nSl4ya]

This is such an adorable animation of the Nein being their goofy selves in a hostile land, beautifully done Dee! :)

[@bdletoast09]

Now that campaign 2 has ended, I will forever miss Jester utterly charming persona warming the heart of every NPC the Nein come by. Vex'ahlia was great but Laura just went beyond with this little blue tiefling.

Jester being an absolute sweetheart.. :)

[@narwaltz1239]

Gaa. You make the cutest animatics. I loved this bit. And the little two headed snowman bit for the end card was so nice.

[@SPACEHARICE]

Jester looks 29 at most now but will have the personality of a child. Could be because she was kept away from the world until just under a year Ago.

[@Micaerys]

Thaaaaank you! When I watched that episode I immediately searched for an animation about it but I couldn't find anything... And the wait was totally worth it, this is so nice and adorable!!

[@Deelusi]

Oh! I'm glad you found this!

[@Micaerys]

@@Deelusi You're welcome 😊

[@Limxuv]

This is one of my favorite wholesome moments from the latest arc. Great job on it

[@bashervsyougames7866]

Seeing this animated reminds me of my cure campaign I’m in. I’m playing a bard teifling and at the moment half the part has split for scheduling reasons. But the area were in is filled with wild magic. And I get the great idea to try and infuse a set of armor with my essence using the wild magic to amplify it. It worked for my gun but also caused it to become cursed. (Now a warlock bard). But the armor was different. It became Studded Leather of Snowy Defence That increases the wearers ac by +15 against all snow based attacks.

[@cheezemonkeyeater]

Jester: Do you wanna build a snowmaaaaaaaaaaan?

[@Randomness823]

I was grinning the whole way through!!! When I realized that it was only dialogue with sound effects I was FLOORED. It sounds so good!!! Like woah!!

This is really great in a whole bunch of ways but I just want to appreciate the soundwork for a sec. Really brings the whole thing together.

[@toobert]

It is my personal belief, and I will die on this hill, that absolutely everyone who's ever met Jester over the course of the campaign is at least a little bit in love with her. She's perfectly lovely.

[@oakenshadow6763]

Caleb letting lose and having fun with his freinds was so nice.

You, Nami Starry, and Beans Bees are part of my holy trinity of critical role animators

this animation is cute and adorable and i love it but i'm commenting mainly because your Jester impression is top-notch

[@Toporshik]

I just can't, this is so cute. I love the animation, and all of the expressions. My Widowjest sense is tingling a little, but mostly I just miss how fun Mighty Nein was overall.
