This dnd story was one I'd always wanted to see as an animated film, having read the book as a child and now as an adult I'm able to try and make it come to life in animated form.
This short animated film shows a scene from the book 'Homeland' by R A Salvatore, where a young Drizzt is about to leave his father’s training and protection.
Drizzt Do'Urden is one of the heroes of the Dungeons and Dragons world. Copyright Wizards of the Coast.
This was an fan project, not officially endorsed by Wizards of the Coast.
Great thanks and appreciation to Steven Kelly for doing such a great musical score and general audio. And thank you also to Kieran Flitton and Phillip Sacramento for the amazing voice acting. You guys elevate this!

The fact there isnt a feature film, animated or not, is a crime against all nerds and we need to make something happen soon

[@EddieSharam]

100% agree!

I've waited almost thirty years for someone to take up the challenge of animating the tale of the young Drizzt Do'Urden. And now, finally, someone accepted. HOW DO WE FUND THIS PROJECT?!?!?

AGREED AND YES ALMOST 30 YEARS

[@redrocket1193]

This could be done to perfection. One season, one book, it would be absolutely unstoppable.

[@OmniLux-g4t]

A challenge to accept this will be easy to go from here however the animation needs more speed you have to consider how fast Drow are in the physical world that we live in. Wrap your mind around that one.

[@ajalferez5927]

You chose one of the most emotional parts of the entire Dark Elf Trilogy. And you did it justice. This is beautiful. Thank you for creating this.

[@dravenloki9287]

Right the misunderstanding between Drizzt and his father was heartbreaking, what was worse as the reader we get insight into their thoughts and positions and know they are of the same mindset but assume the other is like all other drow brainwashed, indoctrinated, and evil. Drizzt Detest his father thinking him to be evil and Zak thinks he's failed his son and that he had became just another ruthless evil Drow, all because he didn't know Drizzt didn't really kill the little Elf girl during the surface raid. He believed like everyone else that Drizzt brutally slaughtered her and her mother, 😢

[@michaelsterrett374]

This really is one of the best stories ever told. I was locked into these books from the beginning of middle school throughout high school. So many ups and downs and twists and turns in the plots. R.A. Salvatore is a true genius when it comes to putting ink to paper. ​@dravenloki9287

[@LorcanWard]

I typed in Drizzt live action looking for an old video and this popped up. Incredible work! Someone get this man a deal with Netflix!

[@EddieSharam]

Thanks a lot, making more Drizzt animation, especially for something like a Netflix show, would be a dream come true.

[@martinong210]

Netflix and DnD should collaborate and make a Drizzt series! Thinking Castlevania and Dragon Age animation combined with the story of our favorite Drow!

[@crypto9111]

Soooo much better. God it would be amazing if you could tell the adventures through this kind of animation. It would be so amazing with voice acting. Ive been wondering why this isn’t a film yet but this seems like a perfect way to tell the tale of Drizzt and get it the recognition it deserves.

[@johnjohnson5847]

RA Salvatore has talked about it before on a podcast and he said a big elephant in the room is the whole "dark skinned elves are all extremely evil" optics

[@75wildman]

Well it going to be in magic the gathering, and they made a video game. It's for Online play only right now. But they are working on split screen.

[@Rlyeh_The_Dead]

It's a damn shame because elves and dark elves commonly have Anglo-Saxon facial features. So essentially dark elves would be white actors played in blackface, and people won't be mature enough to deal with it.

[@manowarviriathus889]

@@johnjohnson5847 I hate that that is the big elephant in the room. Especially in these times and BS excuses for some cancel culture, etc. Sometimes an evil dark skinned elf is just that, and not a representation of anything. And D&D drow are probably inspired by Dark elves in Norse Mythology and have no human "racial" connotations. You know what i mean...

[@MrBottlecapBill]

@@johnjohnson5847 Dark skinned with BLONDE hair. They forget that part apparently. I hate real racists who can't see anything but racism in anything.

[@innamedvedev8327]

How did I just discover it? Why is this as emotional as the scene in the book? It's sheer genius!

[@EddieSharam]

Cheers, this was one of my favourite scenes in the Homeland book, I'm glad you think I did it justice in animation :)

[@deussalt4479]

Right?!?! It literally had me shaking and all my hairs standing on end. I've read the "Homeland" atleast 10 times and this video portrayed that scene perfectly in every way.

[@lesduffield6912]

Wow, this was amazingly done! I just finished that trilogy for the first time. That was by far one of my favorite parts. Bravo!!

[@EddieSharam]

Yay, thank you! I chose to animate that scene,as I also found it a very powerful part of the book.

[@Mixedpuppy]

I read this book when it first came out. I read “The Chrystal Shard” when it first came out and awaited every R A Salvatore Book about Drizzt since. I remember this part where Zaknafein was worried about Drizzt becoming and turning into every other Drow he knew. Drizzt would prove him wrong. Such a good book and series. You did very well on the animation. Wonderful job!

[@EddieSharam]

Thanks a lot, I too got the first 2 trilogies when they came out and this scene in particular stuck with me over the years. I 'd love to adapt the whole Dark Elf trilogy at some point.
