The creatures are portrayed in their own habitats. Creature Comforts was originally a short film, then a series of highly popular commercials, later a U.S. series.

Tronman73 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.
general-melchett 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
jrbettis Great DVD!! Found it at Sam's Club. A bargain at the asking price. The characters are amazingly human. Their attention to detail is worth every penny. Some episodes you may find funnier than others just because of their subject matter. The behind the scenes portion of the disc raises the curtain on their techniques and time involved. How the get their subject matter is amazing. My favorite episode is "Cats and Dogs." The character development is remarkable. You come to believe the characters are not human but, whatever life form you see before you and some fit their build quite well. If you enjoy creative television this is a great gift. You will see things going on the background to give scenes some depth and those may make you laugh out loud.
Jackson Booth-Millard If you've seen the original made in the 80's, or your a fan of Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run, then you'll like this. Nick Park and his team have created a TV series of the 80's special where animals give opinions about certain subjects, or rather it is the great British public. Basically they interview real members of the public and turn them into animals with the help of Plasticine animation. There are cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, aliens, horses and many other animals that are interviewed. They talk about many things during the series, e.g. Christmas, Easter, Food, Jobs and many other interesting or necessary subjects. It has been nominated twice at the BAFTAs for Best Comedy Programme or Series. Very good!
