brightknightie: With Hank and Diana in the lead, the children confront Tiamat. (Other Fandom D&D poster)
If you're a deep-dyed Dungeon & Dragons (cartoon, 1983-1985) fan -- like me :-D -- then you've likely seen our gang's fully-licensed, live-action appearance in that 2019 Brazilian TV commercial for Renault's Kwid Outsider (and of course you know that D&DC was even bigger in Brazil than anywhere else, running and rerunning on various networks for two decades, while it fell into memory in North America and Europe).

But if you're just a little less obsessed, maybe you've never seen the commercial! I thought folks might enjoy it today. It's really superb! Like the fantastic micro-fanfic it is at heart, it makes me feel so much, and the ending is just right, so happy and just a pinch spiced. Take a look at this English dub (1:45):

(It's a much more satisfying live-action portrayal of our gang than their cameos in Honor Among Thieves, delightful as that movie is, but of course the commercial is under 2 minutes long, filmed in Brazil, and meant for an audience familiar with canon. I'm not putting down HAT. I'm lifting up D&DC. ♥)
