Movie Info

Creature Comforts is an Oscar-winning animated short from Aardman Animations and director Nick Park, the creator of the Wallace & Gromit series. As in his other works, Park mingles claymation and multidimensional characterizations with a dry, distinctly British sense of humor; this time around, his subject is the lives of animals in an English zoo. The film employs a documentary-like structure, presenting a series of interviews with zoo animals about their lives and homes. The central joke is

Primordially funny: this is one of the few cartoons that get adults to laugh as helplessly as kids.

This series is, by turns, moving and hilarious, poignant and frivolous.

A herd of witty, clever and delightfully sick claymation shorts.

Clever and creative early Aardman productions short the chronicles, in an interview like fashion, the thoughts and opinions of animals living in the zoo. Taking an absurd concept and manage to create legitimate social and economic satire is a style Aardman would continue to use for many years. Creature Comforts was so popular that it was used for a series of commercials most memorable was the polar bears commercials for Coke. No not those ones!
