The Legend of Vox Machina

 is an upcoming animated series of the Vox Machina campaign, funded by a Kickstarter campaign of the same name and animated by Titmouse Inc.. The first two episodes will follow a new adventure within the canon of Vox Machina, falling in the timeline before Kraghammer. The following episodes will complete the Briarwoods arc and move "into other classic Vox Machina story arcs as well."

Crowd Funding
The Legend of Vox Machina Kickstarter was launched on March 4th, 2019, lasting for 45 days (ending on April 18th, 2019 at 11:59 pm). The original animation was to be a 22 minute long special. Within the first 45 minutes of the Kickstarter going up, the $750,000 goal was surpassed, and $1,000,000 was hit in the first hour. After the first day, $3.0 million was raised, passing all the stretch goals the team had planned. Within the next few days,  became the most funded film/animation project across Kickstarter. It eventually raised $11,385,449, becoming the 5th most funded project on Kickstarter.

In November 2019, Amazon Prime partnered on the project, to be seen exclusively on Amazon Prime Video and expanding it to two seasons totaling 24 episodes.

In June 2020, Critical Role announced that the launch of the series would be delayed from the originally projected Fall 2020 date to an unspecified date in Summer to Fall 2021.
