CREATURE COMFORTS began in 1990 as an Oscar-winning short film starring zoo animals who discussed the ups and downs of their new living situations, using commentary from the British public to create the animals' dialogue. Now creator Nick Park (who also brought viewers laughs in The Incredible Adventures of Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run) adds to the fun in a new series of shorts with even more characters of the mammalian, reptilian, crustacean, and even floral kind, all of whom have lots to say on just about any topic you can imagine. The show plays out like a series of man-on-the-street interviews, capturing the speakers in their natural surroundings. Cameras take viewers from county fairs and safari parks to suburban homes, documenting animals' opinions on a variety of subjects.
