Gorillaz Duo’s Olympics Monkey Toon Revealed
As if I needed another reason to be jealous of English culture, the super-rad title sequence for the BBC’s forthcoming coverage of the 2008 Olympics – created by the men behind Gorillaz, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett – has appeared online. The two-minute animated clip features three characters (Monkey, Pigsy, & Sandy) from the duo’s recently-opened opera, Monkey: Journey To The West, who are serving as the faces of BBC Olympics coverage.
Don’t get me wrong - the five Fuwa are plenty adorable as far as Olympic Mascots go (my fave is Huanhuan!), but I’d definitely put my money on the outnumbered, monster-battling Monkey trio if the toon groups ever fought each other! Check out the clip below along with two tracks from Monkey: Journey To The West!
MP3s:
Monkey - “Heavenly Peach Banquet”
Monkey - “I Love Buddha”
