Description
Creature Comforts captured the minds of the world with its use of innovative animation and voices of ordinary people. With microphone in view, creatures in a zoo talked about their lifestyle and what they missed about their freedom. That short film took on a life of its own, and later spawned the massively popular Heat Electric campaign in the UK, recently nominated as one of the top three advertising campaigns ever produced in Britain.
Now Creature Comforts are back! The major ITV series in Autumn 2003 featured the original Creature Comforts stars (including the inimitable Frank the Tortoise), along with almost 100 new characters who once again captured viewers' hearts.
Creating Creature Comforts goes behind the scenes of both the original film and the TV series, examining its influence on the world of animation and film plus interviews with the creatives behind the scenes and famous fans. From Oscar success and the early advertising campaign of the 1990s to the relaunch of the brand in 2003, Creating Creature Comforts provides a definitive look at another Aardman success story.
