Summary: One out of four ain't bad
Review: If you can get it cheaply, it's worth buying this DVD just for the short "Creature Comforts." The rest of the stuff on here -- "Wat's Pig," "Not Without My Handbag" and "Adam" -- was done by people other than Nick Park, and just isn't all that interesting.It's too bad they didn't put out a "Best of Nick Park" DVD, with all of the "Wallace and Gromit" shorts, "Creature Comforts," and maybe some of Nick's better commercials. Oh well!

Summary: Great -- but 4 short films and nothing else
Review: "Creature Comforts" is the name of the first claymation short that is worth the small price of the DVD. The film was done by the creator of the popular "Wallace & Grommit" series. It is an documentatry style interview with various British zoo animals about their living conditions. Very hilarious. My favorite is the Brazilian big cat (panther?) that discusses needing space. Although the turtles are a close second with their antics in the background. The other three shorts are watchable, but only so-so. I would not recommend "Adam" or "Not Without My Handbag" for children. "Creature Comforts" would be okay -- but the humor would most likely be over their heads. The remaining "Watt's Pig" is okay for kids (I guess) but a bit boring for adults. The DVD had the opportunity to show how the art was done, etc... which would have been very interesting. However, nothing extra is done.

Summary: Inventive and dazzlingly surreal...
Review: Nick Park opens this collection of four British clay animated comedy shorts with "Creature Comforts", a hilarious and occasionally poignant tale of an interview with various animals in a zoo. This one is the most authentic. "Not Without My Handbag" can be questionable (and scary) for younger viewers, but for adults it is a humorous and knowing tale with a finely rooted moral at the climax. "Wat's Pig" and "Adam" are a little grown up for even sophisticated Brits, but they are equally clever and original. Well worth watching...once. Rated PG for nudity and some vulgarity.

Summary: DEFINATELY not for younger kids
Review: Scary segments and references to Satan and hell. Should be rated PG-13.

Summary: Not Wallace and Gromit, but wonderful in its own way
Review: This is not Wallace and Gromit. Okay.
This is not all for children. Okay.
That being gotten out of the way, this DVD is brilliant, and well worth it at less than ten bucks. All four items are quite different from each other (besides being quite different from Wallace & Gromit), but each has its particular charms.
I allow my 3-year old son to watch the first two (Creature Comforts and Wat's Pig), and he loves them. The other two are a bit more adult.

Summary: I nearly wet myself I laughed so hard.
Review: Aardman has a marvelous talent for conveying human emotions and facial expression. This is particularly true with the Oscar award winning 'Creature Comforts' I nearly peed myself laughing at the complaints of the jungle cat (species escapes me).
Suitable for all ages.

Summary: Hmm... interesting ...
Review: Well, it's obvious people take different things from CHICKEN RUN and W & G : I guess there's just enough kiddie appeal in them to please those same people who can't for the life of them recognize the same genius in this collection. Maybe just the fact they must constantly troll the cinematic waters for kid-safe fare has dulled their artistic senses. But sadly, I doubt it...

Summary: NOT FOR KIDS
Review: This is definitely an adult claymation. It has full blown nudity and deals with adult themes such as death and going to hell. It is also violent. I bought it in the children's section for my four year old and promptly got rid of it. Some adults did find it humerous though.
Rating: 
Summary: very dissappointned
Review: Loved chicken run and hoped this would be more of the same. The first little story is the only one worth watching, but the sound quality is soo SOOOO poor it isn't enjoyable. If you think you just MUST have this, rent it first...
Rating:
Summary: 2/4 Shorts were quite good
Review: 2 of the 4 shorts on the DVD were quite enjoyable, "Adam" and "Wat's Pig". "Creature Comforts" and "Not Without My Handbag" were rather dry. It was interesting to see Park's earlier stuff though. Take this with a grain of salt as after all it's just one animation fan's opinion. Check out Wallace & Grommit if you already haven't...
