Creature Comforts Reviews
A sadly dying artform.
A lot of these reviewers seem to be preoccupied with whether these shorts are appropriate for children, never mind that these skits are brilliant. "Adam" seems to be a funny minimalist take on existentialism; it's a wonderful exercise in economy and brainy physical humor. "Wat's Pig" is a lovely prince and pauper tale with some of the prettiest "pop classical" music I've heard in animation, recalling Beethoven's pastoral 6th symphony in mood. The piece has a lot of atmosphere and makes me happy. "Creature Comforts" is deservedly famous for its animated spin on real life dialogue. The Handbag sketch is my least favorite, and to be honest I haven't watched it in awhile. Still, some of these are amongst the very best animated shorts.
Update: I'd like to add that these skits can also be viewed for free at the following website, letting you choose your favorites: http://www.atomfilms.com/af/spotlight/collections/aardman/
5 Minutes worth it?
I have Creature Comforts on VHS and was considering getting it on DVD. That is until I saw the price. $35.99 for a half hour of animated shorts? This seems a bit extreme to me. I see that it's out of print so that might have something to do with it. The best skit on there by far is the Creature Comforts and it's only 5 minutes long. Hardly worth it if you ask me. Hopefully the original Creature Comforts skit makes its way to one of the Creature Comforts series DVDs as an extra.
