Not joking, I literally got shivers running down my spine watching this. This is amazing, like, professional-quality awesomeness. All the little details put in, and how clean everything looks, I can't imagine how long this took. Every Adventure Zone fan should see this.
Dang though. When that camera angle pulled out and showed the Rockport Limited, I think all the air in my lungs just left and I had a hard time breathing until the end of this. Really well done.
The fastest way to make me cry? The slow contemplative music Griffin made with an amazing set of visuals. Amazing work, absolutely gorgeous and impactful.
this brought a tear to my eye. I think the adventure zone is going to be one of those things that just sticks with you as you grow up. I'll remember it forever fondly, my three boys and their companions. This video captures the whole story so neatly. The video is just stunning. It feels like a preview for a video game or an animated movie. I absolutely love it
Also I will never believe you if you say the scene with the macaroons is purely digital. Like, this literally looks like real life footage, it's unbelievable how amazing this is
The first time I saw this I literally threw my fuckin phone across the room in a fit of rage because it’s done so beautifully and I love this stupid song so much that seeing their adventures back to back to it actually physically hurt me.
god this is gorgeous. you did an amazing job rendering the locations in a way that left me breathless and joyful all over: that first slow zoom on the voidfish put goosebumps on my neck that then got goosebumps AGAIN as the wonderland sign faded in. and leaving everything looking abandoned, and empty of people was brilliant, because it suited the atmosphere made by the music so hauntingly WELL, but it also avoided "stepping on toes," and leaving what the characters *look like* completely unaddressed, which i think was fucking perfect for the podcast. i really wish i had nicer words to give you here
missile kid I'm glad you liked it! And yeah those characters are so personal to everyone but there isn't a lot of fan art of the world, which made it so much fun to just dump my imagination into the story and share with you guys.
This gives me shivers everytime I watch it. Thank you. I appreciate that you chose a scene or object and really focused on that for each moment. It makes each scene feel really physical and part of a narrative but... not sentimental? This is "show don't tell" in a nutshell.
This is absolutely stunning I can't even find the words to commend it! I love all the details you included , if there was ever a Taz film or TV show I'd love it to look like this.
It's amazing how things like this can bring me back to moments in my own life, i.e., where I was sitting, what I was doing as I got through each chapter. Hot diggity damn, this is just so good!
This is _so good_ ; I come back to it sometimes just to get chills all over again. I like how empty the scenes are - it's equal parts contemplative and kind of eerie - and despite the lack of people, you *instantly* recognise the settings. I love how the most mundane of objects still hold that incredible, subtle significance - like the weight in that plate of macarons, even as it's juxtaposed against the double moons and very slick crystal lab.
me, over the last two minutes: - nonstop whispering _holy shit_ - shivers all down my spine when the prime material expanded into the full planar system - tearing up with the HUGEST grin on my face - already reaching for the replay button
I've had a playlist for The Adventure Zone related things for about a year now, and I think that this might be the highest quality thing in it. Like. holy shit. This is amazing.
I'm not joking, I actually, literally fell to my knees the first time I saw this. The moment the Voidfish song kicks in during all the cinematics views of all these places, it's just.. So good.
words can't describe how impressed i am with this video. it all looks so so so real, and the timing of the clips with the music is perfect, the tone you've created is exactly how it should be, if that makes any sense. great job!!!
This is absolutely INCREDUBLE. My hand shot to my mouth at the shot of the void fish and my eyes only continued to grow bigger throughout this. This is everything, and then some. AWESOME job!!!
This is gorgeous! All of the details!! The cinnamon topography! How well-timed everything is to the music, especially noticeable w. the medallion with all the relics at the end! The colours! Aaaaaaaaa!! *Amazing* work. Thank you for sharing iit w/ us!
This gave me the freakin' crinkle tinkles, dude! Absolutely STUNNING!! Incredibly well made to the point where each new shot hit me like a bus but in the best way. Thank you!
This is gorgeous, it perfectly captures the sense of adventure, mystery, and awe I experienced in the time I spent with these boys on their journey, If The Adventure Zone was to be a movie or show or what have you, your style and tone would fit it perfectly. Absolutely stunning work
This video gives me chills every time. Can't wait to see the fan trailer! Great work. As an animator and editor, I can tell its taken a lot of time and effort.
I watched this with my mouth hung open--THIS IS SO AMAZING. It really helps ground the whole thing and make it feel so much more epic, which is really hard to do. I LOVE IT
Wow, this sat in my Watch Later for months! So glad I finally did watch it. Amazing work! Nostalgic on many levels and sure as hell makes me want to re-listen to the Balance ark again. And probably play some old-ass RPG. Thank you for this.
I'm glad we were able to make something that some people out there enjoyed, and getting a message like this will never fail to put a smile on my face. Thank you!
Absolutely chilling! Beautiful rendering and just absolutely gorgeous. I immediately got lost in the world of the adventure zone within the first few seconds!
hand clasped over my mouth and tears in my eyes during this whole thing. holy SHIT!! i got shivers, my heart is racing this is SO COOL and SO GORGEOUS!!! i absolutely Love your takes on the scenes and the environment, the wonderland poster was PERFECT!! AND THE SPINNING COIN WITH THE RELICS AND THEN THE LIGHT OF CREATION?? holy. fucking. shit! well done! i hope the brothers have seen this, it's absolutely beautiful
Words cannot describe just how well made this is. This do more than justice to the world that Griffin painted with words. Now it is not only come alive inwords but in visiuals as well. You should be proud of what you created cause I sure am.
Miles C haha I don't think it will make too much sense to someone who hasn't seen it, but I certainly hope so, it was a pretty rad story the McElroy's gave us and worth a listen.
Dat galaxy splitting into the seven planes tho... Very, very nicely done.
Not joking, I literally got shivers running down my spine watching this. This is amazing, like, professional-quality awesomeness. All the little details put in, and how clean everything looks, I can't imagine how long this took. Every Adventure Zone fan should see this.
I also got chills it’s so beautiful and like no joke got me so hyped I felt like I was going to explode even though I know it’s not real.
this is like the intro movie that plays right before one of the best squaresoft rpgs ever
vuuvovuuv KH2?
I'd play that game. *spams zone of truth in every battle*
Love the MCU (McElroy Cinematic Universe), can't wait for Phase 2.
This is like the HBO intro to a The Adventure Zone show. So good.
Or a Netflix show. I mean, hell, put some credits over it and it could be exactly that.
Dang though. When that camera angle pulled out and showed the Rockport Limited, I think all the air in my lungs just left and I had a hard time breathing until the end of this. Really well done.
crinkle tinkles
*crinkle tinkles*
✨crinkle tinkles✨
The fastest way to make me cry? The slow contemplative music Griffin made with an amazing set of visuals. Amazing work, absolutely gorgeous and impactful.
@Griffin McElroy, hire this dude and make a movie
Yes please. I've got the people and the gear to make it happen. So, that would be super rad.
YES PLEASE! Let us make all the things!! 🙋👋👋👋
Brandon Ballschmidt Can I put my vote in for a miniseries instead?
Something about seeing Lucas' lab and Refuge as actual places gave me huge shivers. Amazing work!
this brought a tear to my eye. I think the adventure zone is going to be one of those things that just sticks with you as you grow up. I'll remember it forever fondly, my three boys and their companions. This video captures the whole story so neatly. The video is just stunning. It feels like a preview for a video game or an animated movie. I absolutely love it
Havent even made it more than 5 seconds in and hearing the song "forgetting" for a video called "memories"??? I'm already tearing up my man
I literally cannot believe how amazing this is! Oh my god, it's so perfect, you did a wonderful job!
Thanks!
Also I will never believe you if you say the scene with the macaroons is purely digital. Like, this literally looks like real life footage, it's unbelievable how amazing this is
that shot with the rockport limited is so FUCKING good
This is amazing! Someone has to make sure Griffin McElroy sees this.
Well, I think I found this from his tweet, so we're good :)
The first time I saw this I literally threw my fuckin phone across the room in a fit of rage because it’s done so beautifully and I love this stupid song so much that seeing their adventures back to back to it actually physically hurt me.
Get well soon sellswordkings phone!

This is goddamn gorgeous??? Especially how detailed the modelling is holy crap!
I am truly blessed to have seen this, man it gave me chills!
This gives me shivers everytime I watch it. Thank you. I appreciate that you chose a scene or object and really focused on that for each moment. It makes each scene feel really physical and part of a narrative but... not sentimental? This is "show don't tell" in a nutshell.
WHAT!? That was insanely amazing!!
This is absolutely amazing!! None of it looks cheap or lazy you can SEE all the work you guys put into this wow!!
the people who make TAZ fan art continue to fucking amaze me. This is beautiful
This is absolutely stunning I can't even find the words to commend it! I love all the details you included , if there was ever a Taz film or TV show I'd love it to look like this.
Thanks! I know that I would absolutely love to work on a TAZ TV show, would be a blast.
this is the opening credits to the TAZ movie my heart wants
I watched this immediately after finishing the finale, and it really yanked my heartstrings. Great job.
Wow. The camera angles, the shading, the coin flipping with all the Relics in time with the music, just... damn, dude. Breathtaking.
It's amazing how things like this can bring me back to moments in my own life, i.e., where I was sitting, what I was doing as I got through each chapter. Hot diggity damn, this is just so good!

This is truly incredible. Highest quality fan animation for anything that I've ever seen.
oh man i forgot how incredible this video is, still gives me The Emotions 2 years later
I'm just gunna... put this video on repeat and feel things for a little while. It's *gorgeous,* oh my god
This is gorgeous! All of the details!! The cinnamon topography! How well-timed everything is to the music, especially noticeable w. the medallion with all the relics at the end! The colours! Aaaaaaaaa!!
*Amazing* work. Thank you for sharing iit w/ us!
This gave me the freakin' crinkle tinkles, dude! Absolutely STUNNING!! Incredibly well made to the point where each new shot hit me like a bus but in the best way. Thank you!
I've watched this about fifty times now and I _always_ lose my breath when the billboard for Wonderland comes up. It's actually magical.
Thanks! I also like how that one turned out my wife did the great design for the poster and I just put it on a 3d billboard.
This is gorgeous, it perfectly captures the sense of adventure, mystery, and awe I experienced in the time I spent with these boys on their journey, If The Adventure Zone was to be a movie or show or what have you, your style and tone would fit it perfectly. Absolutely stunning work
seriously I've now watched this 6 times and i can't get over how cool it is - GREAT JOB
This video gives me chills every time. Can't wait to see the fan trailer! Great work. As an animator and editor, I can tell its taken a lot of time and effort.
oh my god? this is so GORGEOUS? every moment of this was absolutely STUNNING!!! I got so many chills, seriously
Perfect way to say goodbye to TAZ!!! Thank you so much xxxxxxx
I watched this with my mouth hung open--THIS IS SO AMAZING. It really helps ground the whole thing and make it feel so much more epic, which is really hard to do. I LOVE IT
This is literally so amazing and there is no reason there shouldn’t be more likes and views. I mean this seriously was beautiful
Holy shit dude this looks great! With all the finale hype I actually teared up watching this lmao. Awesome job! :)
this feels like the overly long, artistic opening credits to a netflix original series and i am so here for it !
This is fantastic work! Some of the best fan rendering and scenes, needs a million more views!
Thank you so much for making this 😂
Caleb Taylor Thanks for watching, I'm glad I could bring back some good memories of those good boys.
Wow, this sat in my Watch Later for months! So glad I finally did watch it. Amazing work! Nostalgic on many levels and sure as hell makes me want to re-listen to the Balance ark again. And probably play some old-ass RPG. Thank you for this.

I just laughed in awe at how cool this is! Thank you for the time and effort you put into making this, the boys are sure to love it!
The opening shot gave me chills, it felt like I was walking into the Voidfish chamber as a new recruit
This is absolutely stunning. I got goosebumps every damn time the scene changed. This is amazing work that you should be immensely proud of
Holy shit, my dude. This is amazing. You are so good at this!!!
This video envoked such visceral and genuine emotions from me. I am shook.
I have no words. This is just so amazing. Had chills the whole time. I aspire to do something this grand one day. Keep up the amazing work!

Words cannot describe just how well made this is. This do more than justice to the world that Griffin painted with words. Now it is not only come alive inwords but in visiuals as well. You should be proud of what you created cause I sure am.
Thank you! Honestly comments like this are amazingly uplifting and really push me to keep making the art that I love.
This is one of the best adventure zone videos I've seen
would love to see a full ep
that would be fantastic
HOLY HELL THIS IS THE BEST PIECE OF TAZ FANART I THINK I MAY HAVE EVER SEEN.

THIS BROKE ME. That opening shot of the voidfish....
Hey, I'm crying and also this is beautiful, thank you
This is amazing!! Wow wow @ that production value
honestly unreal, this may be the thing that convinces my friends to listen to taz
Miles C haha I don't think it will make too much sense to someone who hasn't seen it, but I certainly hope so, it was a pretty rad story the McElroy's gave us and worth a listen.
we so desperately need an animated as well as live action 100% faithful adaptation.
This is so cool!! I can't imagine how much work this was for such a short video. Well done!!
THIS WAS SO AMAZING IM LOSING MY MIND i cant wait to see the finished product!!!!
This is amazing. Brings up so many memories.
This is absolutely gorgeous! Amazing job you guys, truly beautiful and evocative visuals in every shot!
This is so cool!! It's so realistic and I'm not going to lie, I started tearing up watching it. GreatJob
This is absolutely amazing...the detail..
This is absolutely stunning. Incredible work friend
This is absolutely stunning! This is the first CGI fan animation I've seen of TAZ! You are so talented!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
This is really, really lovely.
Absolutely stunning. Great Job!
This is beautiful, my dude.
