The Beeb has collaborated with Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett (of Gorillaz fame) to produce this fantastic sequence to promote and introduce their Olympics coverage. Only the BBC could possibly have pulled this off with such aplomb. During my childhood, a dubbed-for-English broadcast Chinese series called "Monkey Magic!" was shown on BBC2 regularly. It's something of a cult hit. That show was inspired by the same story as this Olympics sequence, so it's doubly sweet for Brits like me.
Great video!

While the video is captivating, I must confess that it was overshadowed by the volume control. The volume control? Why yes... because it actually goes to 11! Someone at the BBC has a cute sense of humor.
