Creature Comforts

There's an adorable show on CBS called Creature Comforts. It uses stop-motion claymation and the voices are provided from interviews with real people. It's a UK import from the makers of Wallace and Gromit.


I watched an episode about beauty and appearance. People answered questions about how satisfied they were with their appearance, what their best feature was, what they would change about themselves, etc, but their answers caem through the mouths of bees, goats, ducks, giraffes, cats, owls and dogs.

I laughed out loud within the first few minutes.

The episode featured:

An anteater talking about how she loves her nose.


A street dog saying he wishes hair didn't grow under his armpits.


A weasel musing about how he wants to understand quantum physics.


A donkey saying, "I could use one of those Jay Leno jaws. I mean, I feel like I need a jaw" and then making a crazy jaw-sticking out face.

The funniest parts ocur when one animal is talking and the other is reacting to what they hear their friend saying: An owl is asked what she likes best about her partner and she says, "His eyes." As she continues to talk about his appearance and hers, he crosses his eyes and makes faces.

Simple but charming.
