CharacteristicsAccording to the associated (fictional) storyline by Michael Morpurgo,[5] they were formed from the last girder of the Olympic Stadium. Their skins are made of highly polished steel allowing them to reflect the personalities and appearances of the people they meet. Their one eye is a camera and on their heads are yellow lights symbolizing those of a London Taxi. WenlockWenlock’s name is inspired by Much Wenlock in Shropshire, England, where in 1850 the Wenlock Olympian Society held its first Olympian Games, regarded as an inspiration for the modern Olympic games.[3] The five friendship rings on his wrists correspond to the five Olympic rings, and three points on his head represent the three places on the podium.[4] The pattern on his body symbolises the whole world coming to London,{{Citation needed|date=June 2012}} and the shape of his helmet represents the shape of the Olympic Stadium.[4] MandevilleMandeville is named after Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. In 1948, Stoke Mandeville Hospital organised the first Stoke Mandeville Games, considered to be the precursor to the Paralympics.[3] The three spikes on Mandeville's helmet represent the Paralympic Agitos. He also represents friendship.

The video featured guest appearances from Olympic athletes: Phillips Idowu, Shanaze Reade and Tom Daley as well as Paralympic athletes: Ellie Simmonds and Mandip Sehmi.[8] These were followed by "Rainbow Rescue" (5 December 2011) and "Rainbow to the Games" (28 May 2012). The official theme song, "On a Rainbow", was written by McFly's Tom Fletcher.[9] Comic stripThe mascots featured in an Olympic-themed comic strip in The Beano, starting in issue 3601. The strip, written by Ryan C. Gavan and drawn by Nigel Parkinson, ran until the Olympics began in July 2012.[10] ReceptionThe mascots received mixed reviews. Creative Review said "Both are clearly of the digital age. And we have to say, we think they look rather good".[11] However, others were more critical, with one columnist claiming that the pair were the product of a "drunken one-night stand between a Teletubby and a Dalek".[12] Others have compared the mascots to Izzy, the mascot of the 1996 Summer Olympics, another critically panned mascot.[13] Still others have remarked that the pair resemble Kang and Kodos from The Simpsons.[14] However it has been found that children of the target audience (5 to 15 years) find the duo appealing.[15] Media critic James Bridle has observed that the characters' huge eyes make them fitting mascots for London, the most surveilled city on earth, with the highest ratio of CCTV cameras to inhabitants.[16] Character appearancesThe mascots were available to make appearances at schools and community events around the host nation. The then Chair of the London Assembly Baroness Dee Doocey raised the issue of the fees. She suggested only the "richest of schools" would be able to afford the appearances. Appearances were £850, rising to £1,720 for events requiring an overnight stay, and £2,450 for a trip to Scotland or Northern Ireland. Although LOCOG insisted they only charged the Appearance fee, the fee actually covered the performers, cohort, van hire, and accident liability insurance. Doocey also said that LOCOG does issue some free appearances to schools demonstrating a "commitment to the games", but claimed that poorer schools would be "too busy with students to deal with the paperwork".[17] References1. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2010/may/19/london-olympics-2012-mascot|title=London Olympics 2012: Meet Wenlock and Mandeville, drips off the old block|last=Gibson|first=Owen|date=19 May 2010|work=The Guardian|accessdate=20 May 2010}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.irisnation.com/thework/olympic_mascots_case.php|title=iris worldwide | London 2012 Mascots|publisher=Irisnation.com|accessdate=2012-05-16}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=London 2012 unveils Games mascots Wenlock & Mandeville|publisher=BBC News|date=19 May 2010|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympic_games/london_2012/8690467.stm|accessdate=19 May 2010}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web |url= https://www.olympic.org/london-2012-mascots|title= London 2012 Mascots: Wenlock |author= |date= |website= www.olympic.org/london-2012-mascots |publisher= International Olympic Committee | accessdate= 19 September 2017 }} 5. ^{{cite web|title=The London 2012 mascots |publisher=London 2012 |date=19 May 2010 |url=http://www.ourlondon2012.com/mascots/ |accessdate=20 May 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100521054503/http://www.ourlondon2012.com/mascots/ |archivedate=May 21, 2010 }} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.crystalcg.co.uk/about/news/crystal-cg-animates-london-2012-mascots|title=animates London 2012 Mascots|publisher=Crystal CG|accessdate=2012-05-16|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110327154459/http://www.crystalcg.co.uk/about/news/crystal-cg-animates-london-2012-mascots|archivedate=2011-03-27|df=}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.crystalcg.co.uk/about/organisation|title=Organisation|publisher=Crystal CG|accessdate=2012-05-16|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100413180944/http://www.crystalcg.co.uk/about/organisation|archivedate=2010-04-13|df=}} 8. ^{{cite news |last=Laing |first=Jemima |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-12621087 |title=Plymouth diver Tom Daley stars in animated Olympic film |publisher=BBC News |date=2 March 2011 |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6FV6OdR7Y?url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-12621087 |archivedate=30 March 2013 |deadurl=no |df= }} 9. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/going-out/music/mcfly-singer-tom-fletcher-writes-278197 |title=McFly singer Tom Fletcher writes London 2012 mascots song |work=The Mirror |date=17 November 2011}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Beano Comic Issue 3601|url=http://www.beano.com/beano-comic/issue-3601|publisher=The Beano|accessdate=5 May 2012}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2010/may/olympics-mascots|title=Wenlock & Mandeville: London's Olympic mascots|publisher=Creative Review|accessdate=2012-05-16|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120913081608/http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2010/may/olympics-mascots|archivedate=2012-09-13|df=}} 12. ^[https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/behold-the-one-eyed-compromise-monster/article1577592/ "Behold the One-Eyed Compromise Monster"], Globe and Mail, 21 May 2010 13. ^{{cite web|last=Rhone|first=Nedra|url=http://www.ajc.com/news/atlantas-olympic-mascot-meets-532495.html|title=Atlanta's Olympic mascot meets its ugly match|publisher=ajc.com|date=2010-05-21|accessdate=2012-05-16}} 14. ^{{cite web |first=Emily |last=Alpert|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/world_now/2012/07/olympics-whats-not-to-love-about-a-one-eyed-drop-of-steel.html |title=London Olympics: Making sport of mascots Wenlock, Mandeville |publisher=Los Angeles Times |date=26 July 2012}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/news/?newsId=3224807.html|title=Interview: London 2012 Olympic mascots' creator discusses their design - News - Digital Arts|publisher=Digitalartsonline.co.uk|accessdate=2012-05-16}} 16. ^HOLO Magazine, Volume 1.
