London 2012 Mascots Film 1 - 'Out of a Rainbow'

[@TheDollStudios]

Wenlock and Mandeville are so adorable and the London 2012 Olympics was the beginning of me being an athlete people say oh your one of the slowest people on earth it makes me cry but I just get back on feet and practice till it's perfect

[@DieCast8315]

Might not be the most realistic mascot ever to grace Olympics advertising, but they are creative and fun; and definitely don't exclude anyone. I'm thrilled to see a Paralympic mascot side-by-side with the Olympic mascot getting just as much face time. Besides, regardless of what they look like, as long as there are people giving them this much personality and heart, then they serve to inspire the world. Loved the way they tried out the sports!

[@realathletic]

Love that they are starting an adventure! Love that kids will Love them! This video gets better with each viewing too!

[@OliviaChin]

This video is so cute and creative. Very inspiring for toddlers!

[@shadowaspect]

This video is really cute and makes me feel proud of being British ahead of London 2012. Creative, imaginitive, inclusive and stylish

[@malibucanyon200]

This is just heartwarming!

[@thomasconnolly5210]

these are amazing mascots shame no one else likes em there so cool

[@cooldisks101]

They look awesomez!!! I want them SOOO badly!!!

[@Cool2BCeltic]

Crying? I can't watch it without smiling.

[@Margui622]

Wenlock and Mandeville are adorable!! :) I will buy some souvenirs featuring them. They are more cuter when they make that cute little giggle.

[@misssuperellie]

i loved this video it was amazing

[@LiloGing]

i love them, they are totally different to any other olympic mascot and they are amazingly cute !!!

[@MrMilkaholic]

a perfect mixture of cute and creepy i love it

[@ogletr13]

I thought these mascots were cool, and the story line was very heart warming.

[@maksnak]

I am impressed by our imagination and technical brilliance on this creation, just as in our Olympic logo, we show what we're made of.

[@Petar1stProduction]

I love it!!! they are like from out of space!!!! I don't know why some complain about it? Let it go guys!!!! Finally some amazing cool stuff

[@Hadlad90]

I think that Wenlock and Mandeville suit their target audience, children 5 to 15 really well. They're bold bright and modern. Also being made of steel helps to reflect Britain as an industrial nation with a an unbreakable spirit. I think they're really cleverly designed and show that the London 2012 olympics are modern and contemporary

[@Cool2BCeltic]

I read one of their Beano comic strips. They are a bit more articulate in the comic strip than they are in this film but it has to be admitted that Tom and Jerry are a lot more articulate in their comic strips.

[@TirioMorpeth]

I seriously thought the kids were going to receive SHOES the first time I watched this.

[@Cool2BCeltic]

Better than many other Olympic mascots. And there are many other children's characters who you could say are ugly and boring. Wenlock and Mandeville are to say the least original.

[@pickering86]

I was just thinking the other day that our mascots haven't been as well publicized as others in previous games. with cartoons and so forth. This set of cartoons completely passed me by. They could have done with broadcasting it more.

[@EUROVISIONYC]

I liked them. Greetings from Colombia! I bet the customes will be out of this world!

[@scarredxangel]

I really didn't like the mascots. I didn't like that they had one eye either. But I've grown really really fond of Wenlock, I find that mascot so cute. I even have one of the official Wenlock keyrings and a plush toy. I loved this story :D Made me happy.

[@legomaster101]

mandeville and wenlock are too under appreciated

[@berrybread]

Oh my gawwwwd this is so cute

[@colleenfrances]

These mascots are totally awesome. I don't know what you guys are talking about.

[@SJSDOGS]

Aww they're so cute! I love it =) Got both of the plushies for Christmas ^.^

[@channelofepicwin]

AWE THEY ARE SO CUTE!

[@beedotsl]

I kinda like them :) Cool first post! :)

[@PlainAnne]

I like them. so cute. I am also impressed :)

[@DoctorChibi740]

Great way to get the kids interested.

[@alvin3535]

Nice! I like it a lot.

[@JamEzcb]

They really need to bring out some plushy versions of these!

[@lilythaitha18]

this Olympic I watch it was the best even my friends and my family even the teacher watch it. well do some more next time and I really like mascots and you was the best one ever :D I wish I would go to London because I want to be in a Olympic

[@DeadHippieFilms]

That's a very... interesting little piece there.

[@manutdabc123]

we aint the most creative as you can tell we cant offer an amazing opening ceremony like the Chinese but what we can offer is an atmosphere unlike any other

[@xDonaldx100]

I love these, they are super cute. Nice little story line. Not a rubbish cuddly lion. Original and different.

[@LizzieandNico1216]

Cant wait for my plushes to get here co their just so adorable more adorable than any other

[@prateeksinha1488]

i loved the video

[@yamamotokun80]

They're so cute!

[@SadisticPanduh]

I love this.

[@FernandoNeriVocalCovers]

I thought I was going crazy, but I could see the same just like you, mate!!!

[@Merdam9]

That children laugh at 2:12 is used in EVERY SINGLE TV SHOW!! I remember it in Diddy Kong Racing for Nintendo 64!!

[@landof101dreams]

@midnightalastor its ment to represent the uk as both names are historic famous places in london and they made the idea of having two metal things, cuz two drips came from the last gurder thing for the olympic stadium. :)

[@AlexHWalker]

This story makes the mascots sense otherwise I wouldn't of liked them as much but how can you not love these super cute super cool Mascots designed for children not design experts.

[@TheRadim333]

i like the mascots as well and the opening ceremony was AWESOME!!!!!!!! british can do a big sport holiday...

[@rainybritania097]

is it me or have i just been missing them through out the games so far?

[@totallymassive]

They are better mascots then the 2010 winter games mascots that is for sure.

[@solman4034]

Cold metal, souless and incomplete. You made up some very strange stuff here.

[@Joey15822]

so adorable!!!

[@sportstechie]

Love these two Sports Techie's!

[@DubStackG]

Before I watched this video the new mascots seemed kind of creepy looking, but after watching this video, I suppose that they are kind of cute and clearly aimed at selling to kids, something that will have to be done if the Olympic games are to be successful in future years as well as this year.

[@sarajulie5337]

Alexander Dale Oen should have been there. I'll never forget you, Alex. My biggest role model ever.

[@Jrples]

those things are so cool!

[@CallumJ230]

I love these mascots, modern, fashionable and out of a fairytale lol

[@djstlouis]

@Firegrubs I completely agree! And why do the numbers 2012 look reminiscent of ice chuncks? I thought this was the Summer Olympics?

[@HappyWeirdo3]

Carrie Fletcher brought me here.

[@ElectricGypsy95]

Interesting looking mascots.

[@bankroll310]

I like them, they have a lot of potential and flexibility!

[@WiredPockets]

London 2012 Mascots - Out of a Rainbow - my kids liked it when they saw this played. The logo is growing on me now that some of the designs have come out. Only 675 days to go until the opening ceremony. I wonder how may BorisBikes will still be in the Capital by then?

[@mmfootynews]

Nice mascots!

[@BVargas78]

@MHUnited1 there have been worse mascots, don't tell me you think the greek ones of 2006 or the Atlanta 96 ones were better?

[@toothyemmy]

Oh like them! I think they're cute... whatever they are... it doesn't matter what they are though they are really cute :)

[@BillBrd1]

Got no human grace, they're eyes without a face.

[@3ampfuse]

at first i really didn't like the design for the mascots. but now i've grown rather fond of them =) especially after seeing Wenlock cheering on the athletes during the Men's 10,000m Final. this film gave me a warm fuzzy feeling in my stomach (and no, it's NOT nausea).

[@Sinspawn121]

I actually think this is a pretty cool explanation considering I also think the mascots look awesome lol

[@wenger1972]

This is what happens when you do designs by committee? If this is supposed to get me all excited for this white elephant then no it doesnt? Does anyone know where I can escape for a few weeks while this tripe is on?

[@RockBandParts]

...wow - they certainly are different. But I do kind of like them :)

[@RubberDucky732123]

Aww what a nice story

[@twisty10000]

that was really cool i want a metal thing even iff it dosent come to life

[@Ichigosistershadow1]

tht was acutally really cute i started tearing up for some odd reason. I would love to have those as plushies

[@Cool2BCeltic]

Didn't like that they had one eye? Maybe you were scared by The Odyssey as a child and found the part with the cyclops frightening. But being against one-eyed characters is a form of prejudice. Look at Mike in Monsters Inc.

[@silona109]

they'll be there in spirit :D

[@KSicsFaces]

Cool

[@funkyprepper]

the aliens are coming!!!!

[@MeMyselfAndStephen]

this makes you proud to be British :)

[@MOlmMPhe]

This video is so cute

[@kinkyjazzhands]

Wenlock is so cute

[@kauldplai7]

How wholesome...

[@rolyfest752]

they are lovely...:)

[@MrValzen]

Industry in England?

[@JimmyCool97]

cutest thing ever.

[@justmichelle71]

Whoa! That was creapy. I don't scare easy but that one just about did it. Anyone else just a little weirded out on that?

[@Cool2BCeltic]

Very cute without being kitschy.

[@rtsoccerplayer]

are the big eyes in reference to how london has security camera's everywhere and how england's becoming more and more like 1984? perhaps

[@DDefiance]

What's the pose at 2:38?

[@NeoMatrixYT]

so...the comedy relief alien from Lilo and Stitch is/are a mascot?

[@D413373R]

areas of interest 2:26 (pyramid) 1:42 again, pyramid (the shard), but why is it the only skyscraper in sight? when their would be plenty of other tall buildings to be seen from that distance?

[@Songo555]

As cute and charming as these characters are, they don't seem like.. Olympic mascot material. But whatever sells more merch to the children, I guess. Personally, i think they belong in a Pixar movie. And don't get me wrong, they'd probably have an absolutely adorable movie. I can't take them seriously, though.

[@nacht98]

what are those aluminium things??

[@mangaqueen20]

It's a shame more people don't like them. I personally think they're kind of cute... they're quirky and original. But of course that's just my opinion.

[@SantanaSilcott]

Missed those O.o where are a few?

[@EclecticBadger]

Apparently Google rankings are everything ... As I stated once before "Go Britain!!!"

[@ShianVideos]

@Kleinlxn That is because the Chinese have metal as one of the classical elements which dominated their culture for thousands of years -- so having droplets of molten steel as mascots might not seem so strange to them. But from a Western point of view... It is ridiculous.

[@groovealoose]

__I personally think its cute and adorable!!!....its unique which i like....and its something new and different, Different is always good....u wana stand out not in. =)

[@YeefeiMr]

They looked bad when I first saw them, but they're actually quite cool

[@Leprechaunproduction]

Doctor Frankenstein was wrong! You don't use lightening to bring things to life...you use love, hardened steel, and RAINBOWS!

[@theultimategirl26]

I kinda don't get it. Why these things?

[@gammaray0wn]

Toejam and Earl are our mascots?

[@Falconer13X]

I thought the Beijing and Vancouver mascots were bad, but what in Helheim were those things? At least the critters from the previous games were relevant (Avatars of the Chinese 5 classic elements and mythical creatures, and an isolated species of gopher native to BC). Now we got two lumps of reject steel.
