The Lost Episode
In the 1980s, the Dungeons & Dragons animated series was a hit in Latin America but was abruptly canceled without a final episode, leaving fans without closure. Since then, millions of theories and fanfics have emerged, imagining what might have happened to the heroes. To release a new line of action figures based on the original series, Hasbro - one of the world's largest toy manufacturers, created a 15-minute stop-motion FILM finale using fan theories gathered through social listening. Directed and launched with Jovem Nerd, the biggest pop culture influencer duo in Brazil at Comic Con, The Lost Episode finally gave fans the ending they had waited decades for.
