Go behind the scenes with the real people that voiced your favourite Creature Comforts characters.
Nick Park’s Creature Comforts took the classic documentary style and applied it to the lives of wild animals and pets, matching a cast of clay characters with human voices to charming effect. Originating from Nick’s 1989 Academy Award®-winning short film, Creature Comforts was unique for using unscripted vox-pop interviews with the British public in a stop motion series that has become an Aardman classic.
The success of the short film led to two TV series, which broadcast on ITV, and an iconic series of commercials for the Electricity Board’s ‘Heat Electric’ campaign. Creature Comforts also went across the pond to the USA where the unique format was used once again to tell real-life stories from people in America. The claymation characters portray very human traits and contemplate absurdities of the universe such as, ""Do bald eagles ever feel self-conscious?"" and ""What makes pigs feel sexy?""

I SO want to see the chilled-out cat and dog couple!
Goosh!...So did I!!!
And the old brown dog!
The cat sounds soo much like Karl Pilkington it would not surprise me if it was him!
Yeah - those two and the Geordie are my favourites. The dog reminds me of my Ma.
Now to find out if having seen behind the scenes has killed any of the magic though.
Me too they sounded bored.
My favourite was always the pessimistic hamster - he had a wonderful way with words. Also the fat cat and poodle couple, when she says “Well, you never know what’s around the corner…” and he says “The post office. The post office is around the corner.” 😂😂😂
As an American, I enjoy hearing the diverse array of dialects and accents showcased in these shorts. It's like a veritable trip around Britain. Cheers from Los Angeles.
West Los! ✌
As a British person, I can only apologise.
@@stewartmoore5158what for?
@@joelangley7974because he's British man! It's our way.
@@dg8620 That's Canadians mate!
After all the years watching these wonderful animations at last we get to see some of the people who gave their voices! Now I want to know how they reacted to seeing themselves as dogs or bats etc. Creature Comforts is such a joyful thing.
Thanks coconinoco :-)
I agree! It’d be magic seeing them watch their voices take on another life!
I knew Muriel, who played a bat. She was a wonderful lady. I was lucky to grow up with her in my life! :) She was quite deaf and blind by the time this video was taken. May she rest in peace.
Well, how splendid that she gave her voice to this and so has become such a source of joy and amusement to many, which is as much as any of us can hope for!
Seriously, you knew her ?? That's brilliant! The two old ladies/bats and Geordie mouse are my favourites, could you tell me how old Muriel was at the time of recording , if you know at all? Thanks:)
Nobody can say this isn't clever. The voices put to animals and then animated.
Some serious talent here
I agree wholeheartedly. They don't make stuff like as good as this anymore , do they? :(
@@grindelston5968 Aardman studios still going strong i believe! Apparently there's even a new Wallace and gromit film coming up
@JoshuaC923 That's great to hear. Claymation is the most difficult painstaking time consuming art form in existence. Long live Aardman!
I don’t know who decided which character matched up with which person, but whoever they are they deserve an award!
"do u dream?"
"dun ho?"
"no."
"run home?"
It’s absolutely hilarious
Aw, the little girl who did the voice of the baby slug is so cute!
I think that’s Jasmine
I like the Bat gals. Funny they did not know they were going to be Bats.
I knew Muriel, who played a bat. She was a wonderful lady. I was lucky to grow up with her in my life! :) She was quite deaf and blind by the time this video was taken. As I recall, she was a bit miffed to be an old bat. She was a classy lady in real life. May she rest in peace.
Perfect match though
I enjoy seeing all of them. The "bats" were a delight, and who wouldn't like Jasmine. More please.

@@MrsArcticRainbow Thanks for sharing, I could have listened to these two all day. Some wise person once said "when an elder person dies a library is incinerated" But we all got to keep this one book!
How absolutely wonderful! As an old bat myself, loved seeing Catherine and Muriel. Hope you'll share some of the others who were kind enough to provide their voices and comments. Big thumbs up.
The bats look exactly like I thought they would. And the slugs! I've been waiting for this video for a very long time :)

@@MrsArcticRainbow 😭
Oh! I’d not thought of “old bat” as a term for them before! 😂. They were both lovely ❤
It was so cool to see the humans behind the voices, esp Muriel and Katherine! The bats were always my favs. I miss this show.

Ditto!! I especially loved the episode where the interviewer was asking them what they thought about speed cameras, and they couldn't hear speed cameras correctly... So they were going, "cucumbers?" "bees honey?" and then after an awkward silence or something they went "nope!" 😂😂
I love this! I wanted to see the chill cat and dog couple though.... And the two bat ladys are so cute

If you ever see this message and feel like replying, could you tell me how you knew Muriel and also if you've any idea how old she was at the time of this recording? She and her friend are two of my favourites from this show because they remind me of my grandma before she died. . Anything you could tell me at all would be appreciated and I'm sure her interesting! Thank you :)
it's fascinating to see actual people and how it works out in the animation in the end.
How sweet are the old ladies "empty a suitcase" lovely
Thank you, thank you! As soon as I saw the thumbnail I said "I hope those are the two lovely old bats". I was an animator when you first released these and have loved them ever since.

The method of capturing casual conversation here is genius. Reminds me of the behind-the-scenes for the creation of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" where they interviewed various people (including people that worked at the studio) and asked them questions and then interspersed their recorded answers within some of the songs on the album. Some of the questions were:
“What’s your favourite colour?” (to ease the interviewee in)
“Why do rock and roll bands split up?”
“When was last time you thumped someone?”
“Why did you do it?”
“Did you think you were in the right?”
“Do you still you you were in the right?”
“Are you frightened of dying?”
“Why are you frightened of dying” (the likely prompt to Puddie Watt’s “I never said I was frightened of dying”)
“Do you ever think about the dark side of the moon?”
“Do you think you’re going mad?”
“If so, why?”
“What do you think of The Dark Side Of The Moon?”
Noooo. I want to see the weird guide dog woman. She's hilarious.
The two ladies were the best and soo funny😂
Reminds me of my Nan 😆
Absolutely 😂😂😂
@sweetfreeze5528😂😂😂
I would like to see the people behind the voices of regularly shown characters like the guide dog, the rat couple and Clement the hound dog.
Yes, great character voices, Pickles the Guide Dog, Sid & Nancy the Rats, and Clement the hound. There are so many of interest...the Brazilian Big Cat, the Hamster in cage, the Polar Bears, The Pigs 😁.
I love the old ladys bats!
I don't have a lot of time here left but the only thing I still have joy and a lot of laughs is from Creature Comforts...even I do not understand everything......
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for everything
I hope you are still around and still enjoying these shows my friend. Take care :)
The interviewees are such great sports I always wonder what they look like behind the puppets
This kind of arts really deserves more spotlight and appreciation than those "pop" things produced only for the purpose of physiological stimulation.
Creature Comforts is one of my favourite things from TV ever, I've waited decades to see this vid. I'm still chuckling... 😂
What a lovely legacy for their families! These videos will be popular for many years 😊
Geordie Mouse...best one!
I wonder what the ladies thought about being portrayed as two old bats😂
2:55 "Cucumbers?" Lol!!
And "bees honey"?! 😂😂. Then, "nope!!" 😂😂
The best job in the world - creating wonderful stories to enjoy.
My Granddad and Grandma were from Scotland , they were true characters . They made me laugh all the time as a kid . Bless them !
The Geordie mouse is great
So neat seeing the people behind the scenes. Love the accents.
The Old Bats will always be my favorites ❤
Cheers from America!
Still an utter delight
The Geordie is a perfect match as a mouse!!!
the guy that's the rat looked exactly like I expected xD
I had no idea it was created this way! Just awesome! I’m re-watching Creature Comforts all over again and seeing the creatures in a whole new light!! Brilliant - thank you for sharing!! 👍🏽🇦🇺
I love everyone behind the creation of these creatures ❤❤❤
That's the best Geordie accent ever
I love how the mouse is so physical while being mad
The animals suit them better than their real forms
thats just so true 🤣🤣👍
3:47 _"Emptying a suitcase?"_ 😆
I love the creature comforts with the old dudes who constantly joked around. I think they were parrots and one makes a joke and then said, "I've got million of 'em, hara-chachacha."
The bats have always been my favorite.
Gosh I love the bats 😊
I cannot thank you enough for uploading this! The two old ladies and the Geordie mouse are my favourites - as well as the guide dog but unfortunately she wasn't in this, but the two old ladies and Geordie mouse was brilliant seeing what they look like. And the Welsh dog doesn't look like I thought he would. It's just brilliant seeing the people behind the voices and it makes me glad that they enjoyed being interviewed
Its amazing how they took what the animals were saying and managed to dub it onto those people.
Haha 😂
i hold this show very dear to my heart, hearing people go through the same stuff as me has really helped me overcome certain problems, i really hope the individuals who all worked on this are proud of what they have created and im glad this show exists for all to enjoy
I can watch creature comforts and the making ofs a million times. They are the best. But „The voices behind“ is my all time favorite.
Ever!!!
Aardman, two old old bats was SAVAGE.
Thanks for posting this. Answered my questions about the making of the show.
I’d love to have seen their reactions to the finished animation
I would love to see who voiced the police horse. He's hilarious 🤣🐎😁👍
This was really cool! Thanks for posting!
Absolutely brilliant! Smiled all the way through!
Nice to see the people behind the voices!
That’s so amazing!! I love Creature Comforts and it’s so neat to see behind the scenes!
This was great to see. Really enjoyed it!
The Great British Public at its best🥰
Soooooo cool! I love to see all the behind the scenes stuff you guys put out!
Muriel and her friend are so cute. They are precious.
Brilliant! Just truly amazing creation and work behind the scenes as well, just making everything sync. I’m in awe
This is fabulous! I love it.
You can really see how great the models of the animals fit with the people behind the camera- it really shows the attention to detail
I really want to see the horse, he was my favorite.
I love the British folks 😂
The puppy's eyes at 5:51 when the dad says he's gone a bit stiff. Genius.
Need so many more of these!
Great stuff! Love all the people who did this! You know those "color 60fps 1912 London" videos you see.. this will be one people watch in 100 years to see how it was today.
Geordie mouse, cat and dog couple and the bat ladies are my absolutely fave! ❤️❤️
This is delightful! ❤
It’s such a great concept! So dear, to be able to listen to real speech
Such an amazing series
I wanted to see the cat and dog that's on the couch, the old brown dog, and the garden pot rats haha
Funny stuff!! I always did wonder where they got the voices & material from!!
this is sooooo LOVELY
I loved this! I hope we'll see more of these!
I have always wondered who the actual people were
Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant! People of Britain!!!
Absolutely brilliant sooo clever...loved it 🤗
I’d love to know if you went into the interviews knowing what creatures these characters would be and if you tailored the interviews as such. It’s all very cleverly put together and the shows are great!
We need heart warming stuff like this nowadays❤
That white mouse is amazing!
So heartwarming!❤
LOVE THIS !!
4:25 MY IDOL
This is great to see
Very good rhythmic flow, have the couples of people.
Straight class 👏👏👏
Best of British.
BRING BACK CREATURE COMFORTS!
This should be a show on it's own.
I want to see everyone now.... I thoroughly enjoyed this
Enjoyed this the most…
🤣 "Cucumbers?"
Love this especially the older ladies
I would love to see who the beat-boxing dogs outside the pub were. Along with the cat and dog couple.
The "Slug" in the white T-shirt is pretty fit 😉
This is hilarious!!! :D
