Brazilian ad featuring the D&D cartoon characters

According to my two Brazilian co-workers, the D&D cartoon show that aired on CBS Saturday mornings in 1983 (in America) never made it to the TV networks in their country. Maybe the person(s) behind it lived in the States at the time and/or got the repackaged DVD set. Either way, somebody had a fondness for it to plug a French-based SUV south of here. It doesn’t need any real translation. It’s a car commercial! There’s blather about how spacious the SUV is, how much power it has to get away from a dragon, buy this! buy this! buy this! I do have to applaud the ending which doesn’t take much effort to “understand.” Lastly, I think Brazilians probably see the ad before watching a movie too. TV commercials are just as “short” as they are in America. How many in a row they must suffer through could be different.
