While the Kickstarter would fund upon hitting $750,000, the show's fanbase (known as Critters) have pledged over $2 million in less than four hours, making the campaign one of the quickest funded campaigns in Kickstarter history. In fact, Critical Role can now boast that their campaign is the fastest TV/movie program to break the $1 million mark, beating the Veronica Mars movie Kickstarter from a few years ago.The crazy part is that the Kickstarter seems to keep growing and growing at an insane pace. Not only did the Kickstarter reach its $2 million stretch goal, it's likely to reach its final two stretch goals well before the campaign ends in mid-April. As part of the Kickstarter, Critical Role has pledged to add 22 extra minutes to its campaign and will double the size of the animated special (to 88 minutes total) if it reaches all of its stretch goals.
