One of two 30-second spots by Innocean for Korean automaker Hyundai in Super Bowl XLVII, "Team" promotes the Sante Fe with a youthful homage to time-to-round-up-the-gang adventure movies. Here a boy and his mom collect team members to play football against a group of bullies in a park, and they all fit the seven-passenger SUV. Hyundai's other ad in the 2013 game, "Stuck," shows off the joys of horsepower on crowded roads.
Both spots were released online ahead of game day.
