What began two years ago with the (then) one-off mascot ‘launch’ film, OUT OF A RAINBOW, has grown into a series, with this final episode, at just over 15 minutes, much the longest though turned around in record time, with animation produced by Crystal CG in Beijing in just three months. As with the previous three films, RAINBOW TO THE GAMES features a sumptuous full orchestral score by Thomas Hewitt Jones. The film plays in hundreds of Odeon Kids Club screens throughout the UK in May. Watch this space for the full film, coming up very soon.
