BBC launches new animated spots for their Vancouver Winter Olympics coverage!

From the BBC website:

Do you remember Monkey and his mates, Pigsy and Sandy who flashed across our screens back in the heady summer days of 2008 to herald the start of BBC Sport's Beijing Olympic coverage?

Well, inspired by that titles sequence, BBC Sport's Vancouver Winter Olympics coverage will feature the story of Akiak and his quest to find the missing head of Ilanaaq, a stack of rock in human form, which sits on the mountain above Whistler, where the skiiing and sliding events will take place.

The animation was created by Bafta-winning director Marc Craste.

You can find out more about the creation of the spots via lineboil.
