DVD Reviews of Creature Comforts - The Complete Second Season
DVD Review: CC 2nd Season
Summary: 3 Stars
Doesn't appear to be as humorous as the 1st season. Has new characters and still quite well done but the (laughter) value is just not quite there this time. For fans only.DVD Review: an absolute winner ...
Summary: 5 Stars
a must have for any aardman productions fan ... a definate departure from the mainstream ... if you like wallace & grommit ... these will not disappointDVD Review: I LOVE IT! IT'S PURE GENIOUS!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the first season about a year ago and I was instantly hooked! So I bought the second season around Christmas time, only to find that it was even better! This is a show the whole family will love... if you appreciate Brittish humor. This is a must buy! The price is wonderful! The Best episode is "Self Image."DVD Review: Just as clever as the first season.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the funniest and most creative shows I've ever seen. You will never look at animals quite the same way again...DVD Review: If you liked the first season then you will like this one as well
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this series! The animals are hilarious, and The Great British Public who provide the wry, grumpy, hilarious, and thoughtful voices for the animals are a real hit as always. The DVD contains all the episodes in the second season on one disc, plus the special Merry Christmas Everybody on a second disc.
This season was not quite as funny and charming as season one, but it still gets five stars because it is head and shoulders above most other DVD's. My boyfriend and I laughed all the way through, and both of us agreed that we would like to keep this in our permanent collection for rewatching (and rewatching soon!).
I would think this series is much more suitable for adults than children, just because you need to concentrate to understand the accents, and the humor is often more subtle or dry than children like. But I didn't hear anything that would really be unsafe for children's ears, I just don't think they'd like it as much as adults would.
Description of Creature Comforts - The Complete Second Season
Funnier and wittier than ever before Creature Comforts returns for a second series of the highly acclaimed animation from Nick Park and Aardman. CREATURE COMFORTS is a brilliant and hilarious claymation series about the lives of animals as told by the animals themselves.Unscripted and unashamedly funny the British public once again speaks through the mouths of their plasticine counterparts. Interviews with these lovable claymation creatures leave no stone unturned no tree unclimbed no sea uncrossed in the quest to discover what our fine-finned furred and feathered friends really think about the issues that are closest to their hearts. Join the return of some favorite characters including Trixie and Captain Cuddlepuss the Dog and Cat Fluffy the Hampster and Clement the Bloodhound.System Requirements:Running Time: 147 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM Rating:?NR UPC:?043396148239 Manufacturer No:?14823Like everything else from the geniuses at Aardman Animations, the second season of Creature Comforts is absolutely brilliant. As conceived by Oscar?-winning Creature Comforts animator Nick Park (of Wallace and Gromit fame), the premise of this limited series is deceptively simple, but when you add the Aardman magic, it evolves into something utterly sublime: an endlessly clever and intimately revealing portrait of contemporary British society, originating as live recordings of "the great British public" then transformed through Aardman animation into a menagerie of talking animals, each bursting with humor, insight, and a rich variety of slapstick gags and memorable expressions. It's a rare kind of creative alchemy that takes place before our eyes: From original voice recordings to the finished product, each nine-minute episode is a masterpiece of anthropomorphic ingenuity, introducing us to a colorful cast of critters that reflect their real-life human counterparts as well as the cleverness of the animators themselves. Think of it as an inter-species exchange program, where chatty old ladies in a retirement home are transformed into chatty old bats dangling from a rafter, or a pair of buddies in their early 30s turn into witty slugs with a knack for whistling and making faces.
The perfectionism that has become Aardman's trademark is evident throughout these 12 hilarious episodes, each devoted to a single topic (Impressions, Sport, Monarchy Business, Communication, Self-Image, etc.) and animated in plasticene to emphasize wildly inventive visual translations of everyday conversation. The "casting" is flawless, comedic timing is impeccable, and abundant bits of throwaway business ensure that you'll see something new with every viewing. Meticulously crafted sets, props, and backdrops complete the illusion, and the final result is artistry of the highest order, combined with a heartwarming humanism that's both universally appealing and quintessentially British. For everyone involved, Creature Comforts guarantees a delightful kind of immortality, and the rest of us get to share in the fun.
This two-disc set also includes the acclaimed Aardman holiday short Merry Christmas Everybody!, and disc 2 includes a wealth of behind-the-scenes features delving into all aspects of Aardman's arduous animation process. There's a "making of Season 2" featurette covering the overall production process; "The People Behind the Puppets" shows how the British interviewees are matched with their animated animal counterparts; and "Animated Conversations" follows several animators as they struggle with the painstaking process of matching their creatures' mouth-movements with pre-recorded dialogue. Also included is "The Countryside Code," an Aardman-animated public service ecology commercial promoting preservation of the British countryside. --Jeff Shannon
