London 2012 organisers have unveiled cartoon animations named Wenlock and Mandeville as the mascots for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Focus groups of children and families helped form the designs and children's author Michael Morpurgo added a story concept for an animated series.
"We've created our mascots for children," said Locog chair Lord Coe.
"They will connect young people with sport, and tell the story of our proud Olympic and Paralympic history."

Dunno about anyone else but I think they're pretty cute. :D
They will also feature in an animated series to teach kids about, and how to play some of the Olympic sports. I think it's a great idea.
