Deserves its Oscar

10 years ago at Apr 22 15:16
Iโ€™m a fan of animated films and Aardman, the creators of Chicken Run and Wallace and Gromit and 'Creature Comforts' was a good short that deserves its Oscar, and would even become a series of award winning Heat Electric ads and then a TV series, to conclude it is great and is worth a watch if you like Aardman and/or Nick Park

"While the first name(s) that comes up at the mention of Aardman Animation is Wallace & Gromit, followed by Shaun the Sheep, the truth is that it is Creature Comforts that probably was the first name that help put the stop-motion animation company on the map. Starting out as a mockumentary style series of animated shorts, it eventually accumualted into a collection that was enough to fill up an entire feature film. Combining the simplified charm of it's straightforward claymation designs with the"

"DIR: Nick Park SUMMARY: A group of zoo animals are interviewed about their living conditions. WHY IT'S HERE: As part of Aardman's 'Lip Synch' series of shorts, Nick Park made 'Creature Comforts' and, along with his first Wallace and Gromit short 'A Grand Day Out' which was released the same year, this film was largely responsible from turning the studio from a cult phenomenon into a household name. Following the brief for the 'Lip Synch' series, 'Creature Comforts' is based around a series "
