Creature Comforts - Complete Series 1 [DVD]

Remember seeing these on TV back in the day nice to re-visit them

My Wife and I love this program and the various sketches are hilarious. There are no favourites for us as they are all equally funny. What makes this special is the amount of effort that has been put in by the makers of the series. The voices of the general public used in the show match the characters portrayed. I could ramble on but all i will say that it is worth watching.

Interesting and fun

Don't be misled by the genre. This one's not for kids. There's nothing profane or wholesome, just that its main appeal is recognition of the poignant, the sad, the funny, the experience of life. And I think you'd have to l an adult to appreciate it. The animation is superb, bringing a huge amount of character to the voices. And you'll be able to understand them fine, they're just normal regional UK accents. Great to dip into a couple of episodes at a time when you want to experience a short snapshot of someone else's life.

In the English eccentric tradition from the stable of Wallace and grommet these are animations of real life recorded dialogue. The animal characters avoid being cute, only just ,and sometimes become sharp representations of our own failures and conceits. The selected dialogue is sometimes hilarious and sometimes wistful, really cleverly put together. It is almost an animated version of Alan Bennett's Talking Heads, and equally endearing.

We watched a very interesting documentary on the making of Creature Comforts & decided to buy this dvd. It was so much fun to watch & cheered us up during lockdown.

very funny

Had this on VHS as a kid, loved it when it was on telly too. Came in top condition.

This was well worth the money, as a long-time fan of the world of Nick Park.

One of my favourite animations ever. Beautifully matching voices from the public to animal figures. Hilarious. Don't get the US version.

The premise of the original short, Creature Comforts, was to take interviews with ordinary people & transform them into comedic animal representations via the medium of claymation. Nick Park & his team developed this brilliantly funny concept through an entire 13 episode series. This dvd is amazingly funny - even what may be perceived as the weaker episodes have their sparkling moments. If you're a fan of Wallace & Gromit or just a fan of funny animation, this dvd is for you. The format has no definite story line, but rather is a topical discussion - kind of like Dr. Doolittle meets Oprah. Addressing such questions as "Where do we come from?", "Are there aliens?" and "Cats vs. Dogs" - these installments will leave you in stitches. The animation is flawless, the interview editing superb. Just an overall delight.

That's who will enjoy this set of short claymation (plasticine) videos of interviews with various animals and insects. They "interviewed" all of these creatures and really brought them to life. It's absolutely amazing. From a garden slug to a polar bear family, from a hamster to a circus elephant, from a worm to a cow, they're all here and more. What these creators have done is brilliant. Recording voices from all over England and matching them to various animals, they really humanized the creatures so much you actually look forward to hearing what they have to say. And the imagination of the scenarios and interviews is excellent. The bonus features are all very interesting and worth viewing. All in all, this is great viewing on every level. All ages will find something they like about this collection.

This DVD, containing 13 new episodes of Creature Comforts is a joy to watch. Like the original, it features claymation animated animals speaking dialogue taken from interviews of British citizens. The animation is beautiful, making the characters really come alive. The humor is typically dry, and like Wallace and Gromit, you will probably either love it or hate it, with no in between. The extras are a wonderful look into the process involved in creating such a work.
