Chaos is on the horizon.
What began as an idea between a group of artists has grown into High Seas, a fully animated tribute trailer inspired by Critical Role's Mighty Nein campaign.
Over the course of the production, our team of student artists tackled every stage of the animation pipeline, from concept development and storyboarding to animation, compositing, and final polish. Along the way, they sharpened their skills, solved creative challenges, collaborated to bring a shared vision to life, and gained valuable production experience.
This teaser offers one final look at the project before the full trailer premieres on July 10.
Whether you're a longtime Critter, an animation enthusiast, or simply curious to see what a dedicated team of emerging artists can create together, we can't wait to share the finished film with you.
⚓ High Seas Full Trailer Premieres July 10, 2026
