Synopsis
This animated British TV series is based on the original Oscar-winning film by Nick Park (CHICKEN RUN, WALLACE AND GROMIT) and features the painstaking plasticine animation for which the director has become famous. Using 'man on the street' interviews with people from all walks of life, Park pairs the voices with animals who appear to be talking about their own situations. Charming and hilarious, the genius of this simple idea lies in its execution, as the accents are paired with animals who fit them perfectly. In the first season, creatures hold forth on a wide variety of subjects. Circus animals such as Matilda the Cow, Miss Dynamite the Pig, and Mr. Tickles the Seal, discuss their feelings about performing, while working animals such as lab rats and a multi-tasking cockroach address their hopes and fears about their careers.

Customer Reviews

Original idea, amazing craftsmanship
Creature comforts are just so well done, smooth but you can still see how they were done - the perfect balance.
This set is really only the complete series, not a boxset. Inside the cardboard box are the two series as they are usually packaged. Some of the featurettes are very good, although I could have watched many more special features. :)

Definitely well worth watching.... over and over again!

Classic!
I have the original Creature Comforts on DVD (excellent content but not the best quality transfer to DVD) and these latest installments are just as good, if not better. I'm not sure why they come on 2 DVDs as each DVD has 6 episodes each about 10 minutes long. Anyway, these are funny for both adults and children to watch again and again and the animation, as usual, is first class. Entertaining and a visual treat.

Very funny
A must for anyone who enjoyed Wallace and Gromit and other Aardman films. We've watched them several times, and still laugh out loud. They appeal to children and adults (though sometimes on different levels).

Volume 1: Series 1 Part 1 has 6 episodes, of about 9 minutes each (The Circus, Pets at the Vets, Working Animals, The Sea, The Garden, Feeding Time), plus a few extras such as a documentary, game, etc.
Volume 2: Series 1 Part 2 has 7 episodes (The Beach, The Pet Shop, What's It All About?, Being a Bird, Is Anyone Out There?, Cats or Dogs?, Merry Christmas), again with a few extras including the Heat Electric adverts.
Be warned that there have been various different collections of the Creature Comforts episodes, and some of the older reviews may refer to different collections.
