With 25 days left to go before the Olympics opens in Rio de Janeiro, The BBC has released this trailer to promote their coverage of the world's biggest sporting event.

Created by RKCR/Y&R, the trailer, which is set in Rio's Tijuca Forest sees native animals prepare for the big event by holding their own games with accompanying music from British artist Jamie N Commons.

Niklas Rissler and Derek Picken directed the film - through Passion Pictures - which compares the speed and agility of the rain forests’ inhabitants with that of the athletes competing.

The Olympics opens on the 5th August.
