This is a few years old so y’all may have already seen this but I just found it today. It’s a live action finale to the D&D cartoon from the 80s done as part of a car commercial. I think the ad ran in Brazil. It’s actually really well done (the action starts at 30 seconds in).

Loved that cartoon. As a kid my favorite character was the smartass cavalier with the shield. I think I liked the idea that his shield could block _anything_, even the undefeatable multi-headed dragon. Looking back much older he was a real ass.

I remember hearing about the bible for that show and the Cavalier guy (played by Ralph Malph himself Donny Most!) had to always be wrong. Kind of sucks as character development goes.

Anyway, very cool ad. Makes me want to see a movie featuring this property.

There’s a fairly decent fanmade animation finale.
