I love Aardman Studios- Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Chicken Run are all fantastic, innovative and original. Creature Comforts, what can I say about this series? Creature Comforts is every bit as innovative and original as Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Chicken Run. The clay mation looks so good, the characters are modelled so well and the backgrounds and colours are all really pretty. The music is also really well done. But do you know what makes Creature Comforts? The original story lines, the humour and the characters. The story lines are original and fun, and the humour is constantly very funny while being charming and sophisticated as well. And the characters are really unique, adorable and endearing. I love them all so much, but my favourite is Edward the Woodpecker, he is utterly hilarious. Overall, I love Creature Comforts, it is so much fun and just a perfect piece of escapism for a weekend afternoon. 10/10 Bethany Cox

If I were to talk to my cat, I'd like to hear her sound kind of like the animals in this show. So profound sounding. So funny, the way they talk to bird about fears of heights and have a French Bull dog argue about who's the better pet with Stick Insects. The dog says "Have you seen my stick impression? Yes." taunting the bug. "We-well a dog, it's just stupid. What'r you gonna do with a stupid stupid dog?" the insect replies. It's witty. It's funny. It's British humor. And it's from Aardman, the guys behind Wallace and Gromit. This is claymation at it's best. The series is worth checking out. It drags from time to time, but this left me laughing.

Creature Comforts is humorous in the fact that it is members of the general public speaking their honest thoughts on various matters through animated creatures - a hugely original and funny idea - that alone is enough to make it funny. But it soon descends into repetitive territory, and though there is always something different to talk about, you know exactly what's going to be on your screen before it comes on. And this is why it will never recapture the charm of Wallace and Gromit. The animation is once again great, the show is enjoyable - but this is not Nick Park's greatest achievement. It is very fun to watch and there are a wide variety of animals on screen - on the whole, Creature Comforts is an enjoyable watch and one that is very typical of Nick Park and co. 9/10

I had been a fan of Wallace and Gromit and the original Creature Comforts short for ten years when I stumbled across the first season DVD of the SERIES Creature Comforts on amazon.com. I, of course, promptly bought it and this series is remarkable.These characters had me laughing, in fact I had to pause it a few times so I wouldn't miss anything. The conversations are brilliant. I especially love it when the animals will discuss certain anxieties like in the bird episode when the crows are talking about the fear of heights or when the iguana at the pet shop is lamenting about when her friends are plucked away and never seen again.My favorite characters are Terry the octopus (that ice cream cone!), the pigs, the racing greyhound, that crazy blackbird and the wise hound. But I'm sorry, Edward the woodpecker blows them all away! His mannerisms are downright hysterical. Sometimes the creatures' conversations are funny, sometimes they're a little sad, but all of them have soul. Pick up the DVD if you haven't yet.
