That Full D&D Renault Commercial Is Here And It Features Tiamat And Venger!

I don't know who owns the IP for the old D&D cartoon characters, but they're using WotC's dragon designs for Tiamat's heads. I wonder if there's any copyright violation going on in this ad?

Well done and surprised it was made! Thanks for sharing.

 

[Nebulous]

Damn. This looks like it could be turned into a good DnD movie. Minus the car of course.

Agreed. The special effects and direction was absolutely top notch.

Where do I have to go to buy a Brazilian Renault?

Paraguay.

And also, the DM's and Venger's voices are from the same voice-actors from the original airing of the show here in Brazil. Venger's voice-actor - Orlando Drummond - is almost 100 years old this year, he is very famous here, he also voices Scooby-doo, and several others. Like [MENTION=6682112]claudio[/MENTION]pozas remembers, the show aired non-stop for over 20 years, so it was basically the first contact with fantasy - not to mention to D&D - to most of us!

Tiamat is surprisingly well made.

Is D&D that popular in Brazil?

You have no idea, good sir. Right now 5th is all the rage in the land of caipirinha.

 

[Travis Henry]

Well done Brazil.

Actually, there's fine print at the end indicating WotC's copyright. Didn't notice it at first.

I would imagine this is legally licensed, if they put this much money into this. My question is, was the D&D cartoon massively popular in Latin America...?

Soooo, somehow Renault can make a better D&D movie than four attempts by hollywood directors and scriptwriters? what?
