- New Animated Dungeons & Dragons Short. Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch and written by R.A. Salvatore, Sleep Sound reintroduces the origin story of the iconic Dungeons & Dragons hero, Drizzt Do’Urden.
- Hry
I love this - big Drizzt fan, on book #24, love Benedict's narration too - wish we had more of this
Book 24 was amazing. I am currently on book 32 and I can honestly say they just keep getting better
@@maximarpgmobileboy3019 keep going to the end! I'm on the newest trilogy
i'm waiting for glaciers edge now and i fuckin love the series it's so amazeing
@@logancharbonneau5054 same, I got everything else lol can't wait
I feel ignorant but I came accross this video (which is amazing) by accident by looking for lore on the drow after playing baldurs gate 2. Which books are you guys talking about? are there more shorts like this or a DnD animated series? Also a Drizzt fan after watching vids on him and the Drow after I was fascinated by Drizzt from the 1st Baldurs gate PC game I think it was.
Animator shows Drizzt, Bruenor, Catti-brie, and Wulfgar
Regis: “Am I a joke to you??”
Never liked this discount Samwise Gamgee
I think this is when Regis was in the Mithral Hall, but i could be mistaken.. it's benn a while since i read siege of darkness.
He don't really fight
For all that is good in the world, please release an animated series, long-lasting, and comprehensive. Starting from HOMELAND....that would be amazing!
that would be dope!
i'd like them to start it with zankanafein's story in generations and the first house he was in before do'urden. you'd get do see his character build and him become great friends with jarlaxle. then that would tie into drizzt being born and give zanknafein's character meaning to people who haven't read the generations trilogy
Start at the crystal shard
Would be amazing
@@maestro48239 nah man, gotta start with the origin trilogy
He was originally written as a supporting character for the stories where Wulfgar was set as the focal point. The amount of writing to make an outcast interesting and palatable created a character that could pull at your heart strings. Troubled, many faceted, in an abusive society yet he still found the spark of compassion inherent in all creation. Add a warrior mindset and years of training under his father who was arguably the best martial trainer in all of Menzoberranzan and a hero was cast out of the fires of trials, tribulation, dramas and treachery and the quest for love. Yes, in his endearing quest for right and compassion an icon was brought forth out of the ether of time.
All from the mind of one man.
I've loved the Drizzt book. Although i've only read 7 of them thus far.
I was happy when Zak'Nafaen was brought back to life that while we know him from Homeland, he was not a perfect man. When he finds out Drizzt married a human, he is livid. He hasn't had Drizzt's experiences and has never known humans as anything other than uneducated, short lived, weak slaves. He's *polite* at first, but the shocked biggotry is there, because Zak is a product of his city.
At least until his granddaughter is born and he turns into a melted puddle anyway
@@CritAcademy Wow.....I read the first 12 maybe over the years? I had to apologize to RA that I was horribly behind. Still am.
@@zeppelindemon Air with Vox Machina? :)
@@CritAcademy and stop at that. Don't repeat my mistakes.
Confused why big production wouldn't tap into this, a Drizzt Do'Urden series would break the bank, they did it for the Witcher.
And it is my POV that Drizzt has a larger fan base than Gerault.
I pray that modern Hollywood (especially Disney) NEVER get their greedy, untalented hands on Drizzt. What we need is some billionaire who also happens to be a D&D/Drizzt fan who decides to bankroll the project with a healthy budget, so that some talented directer who is also a super-fan can make the movie/show.
@@IHateThisHandleSystemgod the amount of shows of my favorite media I would fund if I was a billionaire is a long list
I can totally see a dungeon and dragon show based on in written adventures and event in the under dark before drizzt was born ending when drizzt was born
That will be cool!
Should be about Zaknafein as a prequel of sorts...
@@Xavixztraszu I like this better than my idea.
@@elimichaelmullins4260 yeah if they did the events of zanknafein like he did in the generations trilogy before you actually went into technically "homeland" that would be killer and give zak'z character alot of meaning to people of haven't read through like 30 plus books lol
Bob actually did a series of books with this premise. Zak before Malice, their "marriage" and the raid that took place during Drizzt's birth.
Sleep quiet, my child
My little Drow
Your dreams invite tranquility now
Cast in this cavern
Stone walls so secure
The web holds you tight
Through underdark night
And guardian spiders
That tickle you, feel
With gossamer threads
Weave our goddesses seal
The spider queen's children
And so too her kin
Are here to remind you
That you shall not sin
They show you the scourge
The snake headed whip
They bite and they tear
Until she hears your prayer
There is no such blessing
To the damned up above
Those who've forsaken
The spider queen's love
In their way lies weakness
And unceasing waste
And if you would join them
Then so be debased
And when hellfire orb
Looks down on your shame
Your soul is burned bare
She knows you're to blame
You'll live ever running
You've no place to hide
And huddled in fear
For there is no disguise
The sun, it will burn you
The cold snow will freeze
The hopelessness tumbles you
Down to your knees
And when you are broken
To her you will pray
But she will not hear you
You've thrown her away
And you'll find no companions
To stand in our way
When we hunt you and find you
And torment for play
You've chosen the weaklings
Of the world up above
Who speak empty words
And know not Lolth's love
No, Lolth will not save you
From human deceit
Nor from bearded dwarves
Nor Elvish conceit
The spider queen shows us
The one single way
There is only the night
There is never the day
For strength does not stretch
Through branch or through leaf
It bleeds
From the roots
That secure us beneath
Deep in our hearts
Wrapped tight in Lolth's web
With venom we sting
Her glory we sing
So whisper your love
Of your Matron
Your mother
Who teaches the way
To your sisters and brother
Brother, I say
There can only be one
For if there were two
There couldn't be you
Then, that silken swaddle
That tickling wreath
Would instead be your death
By the spider queen's teeth
Sleep sound in the darkness
Or burn in the light alone
❤
love it.
I feel like this is Dinin’s narrative before Vierna “corrupted” him. “For if there were two, there wouldn’t be you.” Definitely a reference to the first first boy of house Do’Urden and Drizzt’s birth.
And to the fact drows kill their third born sons, so if there were other two boys specifically they would've killed him at birth
@@iansobroza I think that's mostly noble houses. Pretty sure common drow don't do that generally
Male infantcide
Funny how it is still not as bad as female infantcide in shitty countries like india
@@iansobroza don't kill but sacrifice to Lloth. Works not always still. Jarlaxle was third son of Ivonnele Baenre, but he alive and kicking, then she had her another third son Ber'hinion, and Lloth was just - okay...
And don’t forget Nalfein, the brother in which Dinin assassinates the night of Drizzt’s birth
This is fantastic. Can we get Benedict to narrate some of the books!? Drzzt is my boy.
Loved the narration.
I'm surprised a animated series hasn't been made on the books.
Me too.
It's time for some forgotten realms tv series including an animated drizzt series
Louder for those at the top.
If there is any fantasy character other than Tolkien's who I love, it's Drizzt. ❤️
Couldn't agree more!
I love drizzt so much! has every reason, and every single backstory check mark to be an extreme edge lord, but instead he's a happy, compassionate, warrior. caring for other people and just being awesome in every way! I LOVE Drizzt and his stories so much!
I really wish they would have done better by this game. I was so sad. :(
@@CritAcademy what game?
@@DBfan106 Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance 3.
Perfection. His voice is unmatched. 😍
Couldn't agree more.
Damn that's an intense lullaby
This is the way of the drow
"Go to sleep(this is a threat)"
Been forever since I read these. Now my daughter is hooked. R. A. Salvatore is greatest author ever.
Love RA's work. But I would said that title currently belongs to Brandon Sanderson. ;)
@@CritAcademy No one. Absolutely no one writes combat like Salvtore. Thats what makes him the best.
This was the coolest Drizzt material I’ve ever seen. Longtime fan, going way back to the 90s. Grew up with Drizzt, he showed me the way.
Yeah. It's a shame they didn't do more with it. The game that followed it was a bit of a let down. What would you like to see to ensure they capture the best of Drizzt?
Can we get a movie with Cumberbatch playing Zaknafein?
Would be dope AF!
Either him or Artemis Entreri...
That would work. Jaraxale(bad spelling I know) might work too.
@@JnEricsonxI agree he should be Jaraxle
@@donaldnoel767 no way, Josh Brolin would be perfect cast!
I would love to see an animated show about the entire Drizzt saga.
This dude is still writing these books and that brings me joy
Wait! narrated by the Benedict Cumberbatch! Awesome!
He really nailed it!
okay, this is the coolest fucking thing i've seen yet this month
Haha it is dope AF. Anything in particular you like about it?
I like to listen to this before I play as my drow assassin. It helps me get into character
I can't count how many times I've listened to this. I've always loved drow and love Drizzt, currently on book 4, the Crystal Shard, and loving every minute of it. I'm excited to see what wotc makes of this drow expansion
Welcome to the world. Crystal Shard is writing wise the first book with him, and I've loved it for over 30 years.
As much as I love Drizzt, Catterbrei is by far my favorite DnD character
Can Benedict lull me to sleep forever?
lol i'm sure you can put it on loop. hahah.
Not sure I'll ever Sleep Sound again.
facts oh so facts :)
Just found your channel and all I can say is Wow. I love the books on Drizzt and you have brought him to life. Hope to see more Please and Thank you.
thanks!
Wow this is an excellent piece of work
I know right!?
Tears man. Tears
I hear ya man.
Now that is a hardcore lullaby if I've ever heard one
I remember reading these over a decade ago and laying down going through hundreds of pages at a time. Something about them was really addicting
Drizzt is why I'm so strong today. The fact we don't have a series. Spits in my safe on all the things this ranger has taught me.
still... just.... damn... how many years... stil love in this story/ whatever in forgottten realms story. Why its not continued. why the shit must be on the watch.
Love the video really needed it to let me understand the series.
Benedict Cumberbatch narrating!
Did you know that the new 2023 D&D movie, the producers had toyed with the idea of including Drizzt in it?
Can you even imagine how cool that would have been?!🤗
The theater would have heard my sounds of joy! They're kicking around for the second film if they get to make it.
❤❤❤ agreed.
would have been on a new level.
@@CritAcademy I have no clue who'd play him though. And thered be someone bitching based on the casting no matter what.
I would have been fan girling hard if Drizzt was in the DnD movie
Benedict Cumberbatch is an insanely good narrator!
No drow can sleep sound among the other drow. Don't bullshit, Lloth.
Amazingly done! On book 12 right now! Big Drizzt fan! Keep up the awesome work
Bro please stop - it'll get only worse...
I listen to this every now and again
Ditto
This is incredible! 🤩
Cumberbatch would make a perfect Zaknafein. 😍
That was epic
For sure.
Some animation studio could have several dozen books to adapt, one of the best heroic tales ever made, set in one of the best fantasy settings every made, with one of the coolest heroes ever made.
I agree. What style would you like to see an animation in? I think Castlevania.
Well that was rather good wasn't it!? I love the forging of Ages Fang section :)
WOOOOW
Really leaves you speechless doesn't it?
This is epic
I KNOW RIGHT!?
@@CritAcademy who made it?
@@ididathink5295 Official Wizards video. Promoting dark alliance.
Drove elf drizzt My old friend my favorite!
Benedict PLEASE PLAY THRAWN! LOL
That was fantastic!❤
Just stared the 4th book and i am loveing it so far
Six seasons and a movie?????
Fight or be fought for the king's frozen throne...
I would love to see this as a concept fleshed out and expanded.
The pastiest palest dark elves ever made.
Awesome
haha too bad the game was bad. :(
@@CritAcademy was looking forward to it then heard it was a bummer. too bad. at least there's enough lore to live on and head cannon to create that will suffice.
I think a lot of people complain about how D&D players and fanfic writers have created their own “good Drow,” and now Drizzt doesn’t feel so unique. But I had a discussion with my friend last night who pointed out that it actually works quite well if you think of Drizzt not as an outlier but as a pioneer. There HAVE to have been more Drow who were uncomfortable with their society’s backstabbing, corrupt ways, but who kept quiet out of self-preservation. So you could think of it as Drizzt not only defying that society but surviving being what encouraged the others to come out of the woodwork.
Well Drizzt wasn't the only one. His father, Zaknafein, was the same as him, except he didn't have the courage his son had to defy and stand by his ideals\beliefs. He 'bowed' to Drow society and repressed his feelings in hatred of their society until he learned of his son's feelings, and gave his own life in sacrifice for his son, giving him a reason to finally break his last link to their world and leave. If Zaknafein hadn't been sacrificed as 'punishment' for Drizzt's actions, he may have remained, if only for his father. Which makes you think, if HE didn't have the courage to leave and just obeyed, no matter how much he hated them, how many other male Drows are there doing the same? Repressing who they are because they see no other choice?
I think it's heavily implied lore wises he's the reason there is a civil war going on right now in the underdark (follow drow raising up against lolth, seeing her for what she really is a demon) pretty common Knowledge that most Male drow are treated like shit, (only get better treatment if you are 1 noble, and 2 you shut up and let the Matriarchs talk) they are only treated slightly better than slaves, is it any wonder that the first drow to rebel where the males?
Awesomeness
thanks!
"sleep sound" so nice cause I wanted to use it for sleeping xD
I just started reading the legend of drizzt and I strongly believe with the right team and people following the lore/story it would make for a great TV show or animated series.
Thanks!
Thanks for your support. :)
I'm making my way through the books. On book 9. Got a long way to go. lol. But man, it's great. Wolfgar is by far my favorite thought.
My good lord this is sooooooo sick
well done!
Dam I guess Regis just was too lazy to show up poor guy
He's fishing
I love this, Male drow and human female. I'm in love
It really does it pretty well. Are you familiar with Drizzt?
@CritAcademy not a lot but I want to. I love drow men
Still Fantastic!
I don´t give a dam about live actions, I want an animated movies or serie of this, please!
Absolutely! What style would you put it in? I love the Castlevania neftlix style. Seems very appropriate.
That was fucking awesome.
I don't get how come no one did a TV show about him yet.
Wonderful trailer/primer feel. Love the timing and agree with the pacing. It does visually look like he is a very white drow. Didn't think he was light at all. Just the hair. Good shit overall
because I'm curious, does anyone know why the original video is gone and they've seemingly purged it's existence from the internet? Also I would like to thank you for preserving this.
No idea. I tried to save it when the purge happened.
would love to see a version of the journey through Crenshenibon
couldn't agree more. Would dope AF.
...for the love of GOD make a movie like this...
Couldn't agree more!
Write to Lauren Hissrich - she loves black people. But most of males would be, probably, gays, but that details...
...........wow.
After watching this I am like can Benedict cumberbatch please play Vincent price in a biopic
Oh that would be fantastic!
Ah, the nostalgia!
2:54 Wulfgar looks like Big Arnie. ;-)
bwahaha he sure does!
They need to make a series or movies of Drizzt.
Couldn't agree more!
@@CritAcademy movies like they did the LOTR would be awesome
In this political climate today, I doubt it will ever happen. Think about the story and you will see what I mean.
Well kinda yeah, but then i always remember shitty adaptations of Wheel of Time, Witcher, Rings of Power, and i fucking scream - NO, NO, NO, PLEASE, GOD, NO!!!!
@@nightwarden good points but remember how many times they messed up with the Marvel/DC Movies before they started getting it right
There can only be one....
And his name is Henry Cavill. Lol
i was into drittz in the mid 90s as i was playing forgotten realms. i had all books, back them 4 i guess.
Now i'm 41. I gave away the books early 2000 and i figured out now there are 38 books! i have to get my hands on them
Those books sucked my soul away. lol.
anyone else waiting for this to turn into ... "for no mear mortal can rezist the evil of the Thriller .. " ? :) :)
BwhahHhah now I do.
PLEASE MAKE THIS AN ANIMATE SERIES, I KNOW 300 PLUS PLAYERS PERSONALLY WHO WANT TO SEE IT.
We can only hope. With the success of Vox Machina, it certainly could happen.
wow! Just... wow!
Lol. Is that a good wow or a bad wo
@@CritAcademy that was a good wow. I love these books! Drizzt is why I play drow when I game
@@finvarracernonnos3428 me too.
Guen!!!
One of my favorite no humanoid characters in any story.
@@CritAcademy agreed. The lengths Drizzt went to save her when the statuette was broken were amazing to me…
I got kind of emotional when the narrator says he’d find no friends up above, only for the Companions of the Hall to save him in battle.
That was one of my favorite aspect of the stories. The importance of comradery.
Does anything similar to this exist? It’s so nice
I'm not sure. I'll have to check.
So... it's been over a year... when we going to get a follow-up to this?
I think it was just a promotions of the Dark Alliance game that did horrible.
Anyone know why this was Privated on the main channel ? and has to be reuploaded? Im curious as to why that's a thing that happened
Game was not well received at launch.
Nice, make from this animated movie and i think it could have same popularity as an Witcher.
Did you animated this? It's gorgeous! Thanks for the upload!
Lol no way. I have no such skill. It was the promo leading up to the games release.
I think it is time to hit up Netflix or HBO to set up the Icewind Dale stories into a TV Series.
couldn't agree more.
Not Netflix (or Disney)... they would murder it.
Lauren Schmidt Hissrich: OKAY! IT WOULD BE EXCELLENT STORY FILLED WITH BLACK PEOPLE AND GAYS, GAYS, MORE GAYS!
Do a Drizzts stream on HBO and I'd pay top dollar for it! Rated R and all. No PG13 or E ratings please.
Drizzt is like John Wick with scimitars, if you want a comparison in terms of his combat style.
Is that supposed to be Catti-brie now? LOL!
Yes?
Was it Drizzt's brother or father killed the other brother so Drizzt could live.
Ever heard of this .... but Im intrigued. The comments mention books ? How have I missed tgis.
The Drizzt books are fantastic!
@@CritAcademy 💯
why was the original video deleted?
Is it weird that I am in love with yvonnel baenre??
Not at all. It would be weird if you were in love with Yochlol
The eternal?
I want a series, but there is only one voice of Drizzt for me... and that is Victor Bevine 🖤 I wants what I wants 🤷♀️ and I wants ALL
Who is Victor Bevine?
@@CritAcademy the voice actor who performs the audiobooks. His narration and character voices are superb!! He IS the voice of Drizzt. Cumberbatch is great to voice his brother! Gotta hand it to him!
Make cloaks great again.
Why only 720P
I still don't understand why they hide the original video
What happend to the original video?
what do you mean?
@@CritAcademy The video was made private for some weird reason. I would guess the game was so bad they tried to burn everything related to it.
