I'm at work so haven't watched the commercial yet, do the kids fight Bolsonaro?

They are all Brazilian actors, it's just for marketing. It was recorded somewhere in Argentina, though

Heh, no. While it would be cool, that's not what is happening.

Nothing more than a very cool Brazilian car commercial. With the additional footage seen in Bedir Than's link, we might get a series of commercials, or maybe even a long-form commercial, but not an actual movie.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's unlikely Renault even has the license from . . . well, however holds the rights to the cartoon. I bet none of the commercials or footage mentions "D&D" or any of the kids names. Although, since I don't speak Brazilian, I can't be sure.

The actors really ARE so very accurate! Tell Hollywood the next big series is right there!

I'm impressed with the background also, it's obvious they worked hard to match the look of the show, beyond just the characters themselves. Neat!

In my own head canon, I'm counting those three moons in the character posters as the three moons of Krynn. Did the kids TV show have three moons overhead?

The casting is absolutely spot-on. Now where is Venger?!? :devil:

Well, sure!

Ah, I didn't want to assume the language wasn't a native (indigenous) language, um, so I went with Brazilian? Yeah!

Venger will make an appearance as the appraiser who figures your new property tax rate for having a new car.

If you go to the site, there’s more posters including one of Dungeon Master and the heroes in profile. Neither of these posters have any Renault references on them. Instead they have the following message in Portuguese:

o retorno esta proximo

Which translates as:

the return is next
