MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY
Fans of Critical Role, fondly referred to as Critters, are excited to see these characters on the screen. Originally, only planned to be a one shot animated special, the Critical Role team took to Kickstarter to fund the project. Critters responded quickly with their wallets, because they wanted to see their favorite heroes on the screen. The initial goal funded within hours, and the Critical Role team kept adding stretch goals and promising more episodes. When the campaign concluded having raised over $11.3 million, making it the most successful film or television project in Kickstarter history.
The members of Critical Role, much to the delight of their fans, are themselves voicing their characters in The Legend of Vox Machina. The party consists of Vex’ahlia Vessar (Bailey), Vax’ildan Vessar (O’Brien), Keyleth (Ray), Percival de Rollo (Jaffe), Scanlan Shorthalt (Riegel), Grog Strongjaw (Willingham), and Pike Trickfoot (Johnson). Since he did not have a regular character in the Critical Role show as the DM, Mercer will be voicing a character called Sylas Briarwood. Having the voice actors themselves playing their characters makes The Legend of Vox Machina even more special for Critical Role fans.
