Summary: Humor crossed three generations!
Review: My daughter, my grandchildren and myself laughed ourselves silly. Now my kids want to talk with a British accent. Everyone had a favorite part of a favorite vignette. The giggles linger on.

Summary: I watched it over and over again and cracked up everytime!
Review: The dialogue is just hilarious in this wonderfully animated tour of the zoo! Turn on BBC and listen to Tony Blair's voice - he sounds just like the turtle! I am sending it to my friend's kids , I think they will love it.

Summary: Funny stuff
Review: Creature comforts was great. I love the little things that go on in the backround. Sometimes the dialogue was hard to understand, but that might be because of the "common" accents.The second feature was much different, but still very good. I thought the animation was done well, and I really like the fact that the message was conveyed without words. I think that is really impressive. Well done. I thought the last two animations were not as good as the first two. I know "not without my handbag" was simply not my style. I didnt like the premace, the devil bringing souls into hell, and I was not big on the more modern style of the characters. It reminded me a lot of beatle juice. The final animation, Adam, was slightly boaring. it was quite humerous at parts, and some of the animation was incredable, like when adam is spining around the world. But overall, it wasnt as good as the first too. Still well animated though. Creature comforts: 5 Wat's Pig: 5 Not without my handbag: 3 (mostly because I don't like the style. Technically, the animation was done well.) Adam: 4 Overall, a very entertaining collection. Worth the money for sure.

Summary: Zoo gets 5, the rest bring it down a notch!
Review: I first saw Creature Comforts as a fill in on PBS. Many years have passed and I still recall the polar kid asking if it was ok to eat the interviewer. The juxtaposition of the creatures of our Earth having such a clear image of human (and arn't they) lives is beautiful. Seemingly trapped to the day and yet somewhat content in their memory of what has, might have, or may be. Lovely! Thanks, Nick.

Summary: Great for fans of "Chicken Run".....
Review: If you thought "Chicken Run" was incredibly hilarious and you love dry British humor, then "Creature Comforts" is the DVD for you. "Creature Comforts" is a hilarious short about the quirks of living in the zoo. The way the different animals banter about their situations is sure to make you laugh. It's a great short. The rest of the shorts on the DVD - "Wat's Pig", "Not Without My Handbag" and "Adam" - are also very humorous but not as much as "Creature Comforts". The DVD has zip in the Special Features department. I would have loved to have seen a documentary on the making of the short, commentary, test footage or any other assorted feature. But the DVD is worth $10 for "Creature Comforts" alone. Buy this DVD and enjoy it....

Summary: Not a moment of disappointment!
Review: Aardman animation has produced some of the best stop-frame, claymation adventures I've seen--ever. I'm an animation addict, so I know what I'm saying. "Creature Comforts" is a bit different than some of Nick Park's other work. I'm sure you've heard of his newest adventure, "Chicken Run," and maybe you know about "Wallace & Gromit." All three of the W&G adventures are fantastic and if you do know of them, then you'll probably enjoy "Creature Comforts." The witty British humor can't be beat. This video is a collection of four shorts. Each short has a feeling of its own and brings a different level of humor to the whole collection. The first short is the namesake of this collection. "Creature Comforts" is a documentary, of sorts. The viewer gets an inside look at life in a London Zoo. The animals are so cute! Even the feces is crafted in a "cute" way (if you can say that about excrement). As the characters discuss their lives in the zoo they comment on what could be improved: the temperature, the food, and as the large cat says (with a notable Brazillian accent), "More space. We need more space." It is a funny short, but there is a deeper meaning if you care to look for it. It's played occasionally on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon between commercials--keep your eyes peeled for it if you decide not to purchase this collection. You may like it. The second short on the tape is called "Wat's Pig." This is a cute-sy story of twins separated at birth; one boy becomes the King and the other becomes a farmer. Wat is the farmer, but the question is...is he unlucky? Through the course of the adventure a viewer is entertained, but also is shown the lesson that power and money do not necessarily bring happiness. This one is not the best on the tape, but it is enjoyable and fine viewing for the whole family. If you're still reading this review, I'd like to talk about the next short--it is the best on the tape! "Not Without My Handbag" is a wacko story of a lady being sent to hell because she did not make her washer payment on time. Some French/English tension that exists in the world is displayed in a comical way here. Aardman chose to portray the devil as a gluttonous Frenchman--the underwriter to the washer payment contract. Oh, it's quite funny and some of my favorite lines have come from this short, such as a complacently phrased: "My Auntie is a zombie from hell." This comes from the little girl pictured on the cover of the video (in the polka dot dress). Although I often stop the tape once I've enjoyed the third short (can you tell it's my favorite?), the last film on this video seems to be an experiment in clay and creation. "Adam" is fairly simple. A male figure is created by live-action hands and wanders a small clay globe looking for something to do. The hands of god (the animator) play a dominant role as well. There's not too much to this short, but it is worth watching at least a couple of times. Overall this video is filled with fun and laughter and meaning. "Not without my handbag" isn't for the small kids, but it certainly would entertain older children and your over-active inner child. If you liked W&G or "Chicken Run," then buy this collection--you won't be disappointed.

Summary: My Aunt Is A Zombie From Hell
Review: I have been a big fan of Park's claymation work, and it really broke the mold when the Wallace & Gromit and other works started to hit the screen.
"Creature Comforts" is the best of these, in terms of the supposed interviews with zoo animals. The mountain lion is hilarious, and the creatures all have such human like emotions and even their subtle actions are fantastic.
"Wat's Pig" had its moments, and I also liked "Not Without My Handbag."
There are some others out there I'd still like to find, like the BBC Radio announcer who lives in his studio.

Summary: Full of Imagination
Review: I love this DVD! The stories are a little odd but I found them all to be entertaining. As previously stated in other reviews this may not be the best choice for children. The title short "creature comforts" is great. The animal voices and interviews give great insight on what animals in zoos might really say if they could talk. "Wats pig" adds a little twist on the traditional prince and the pauper story and gets its point across without using dialogue. "Not without my handbag" is my personal favorite. The story is about a young girl's aunt who loses her soul to the devil through the purchase of a washer but she refuses to rest in peace until she gets her beloved handbag. Last but not least is "Adam" who just cannot seem to catch any luck and resides on the moon alone. I do not think these shorts sit in the same realm as Wallace and Gromit but definitely leave their own mark when it comes to clay animation. If you would like to preview the show creature comforts check comedy centrals listings the show has multiple times all this March 2005.

Summary: Worth it for the Title Film
Review: "Creature Comforts" is quite possibly the perfect animated short film; charming, funny, well-animated and just a little bit messy. Using real people's testimonies, the film depicts zoo animals talking about their living conditions. Everyone I have ever shown this to has loved it, young or old. Although its lacking in extras and the rest of the films are not as compelling, this DVD is worth buying just to have a copy of the title track.
