I was taking to a friend about this, Stranger Things and Critical Role, bought a lot of new players to D&D, meanwhile WoTC isn't doing half as much, they could be doing an animated series, to explore the settings.
They are making a live-action movie, it isn't the first, but this one has a bigger budget.
I really think an animated series with some of their more popular novelized campaigns and characters is the way to go to seek out mass appeal. I'd love if they followed Critical Role's lead and signed with a streaming service for an easy-to-pitch series like Drizzt's life or (my preference) the Companions of the Hall.
Live action can be great, but often times fantasy settings can completely fail in how they're translated to the big screen (See: the WarCraft movie).
