HTML-код

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?""

The Brazilian Jaguar pretty much stole the show. The Polar bears are very funny.
apparently according to Peter Lord, the The Polar Bears were a family who owned a nearby corner shop...
Cole Wright I don’t think that’s a jaguar. No spots. Probably a puma
Cole Wright is this show for grown ups?
I often quote the Brazilian jaguar. Anytime it’s sunny outside (blue-uh skies, you know...where I can see dee sun all day) or when I’m going out for steak. Nobody knows what I’m talking about.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that the Brazilian puma is voiced by an exchange student who hated Britain and missed Brazil.
I love the jaguar he's so passionate about having space lol
For me it is also the best part. After that the tortoises/turtles.
Cavare Envius Yee :3

Essspace 😂😂
At first I thought this was all scripted and when I realised these were real people I just loved it even more.
@@kipperkatz I believe it was both people in a nursing home and housing unit.
@@kipperkatz It was all sorts of people in and around Bristol, where the studio is based. The jaguar on the log was a Brazilian student at the university there. The gorilla complaining about the rain was a woman from Belfast.
Walace and gromit animation
Jessie Thomas aardman
Such a good idea, it makes what they say feel so natural, because it is!
I'm in awe of how well the animator paid attention to how a mouth moves when the voice is accented or has an impediment.
It's part of Nick Parks
Nick Park is amazing
Oh how you were right, look at the Jaguar.
Have u even ever heard of AARDMAN!?
Yeah, claymation animators get huge props for that, well, most animators in general, really.
Be thankful it's a western studio where they animate the mouth to match the lip sync and it ain't anime with its muppet mouth flaps xD
The animation on this is more nuanced and naturalistic than I was expecting.
It's Aardman, they're behind Wallace and gromet, chicken run and all films that us British folks were raised on
@@whalesharko4465 I'm not British, but I also grew up with a few things like that.
@@whalesharko4465 most of the world grew up watching aardman, not just bri ish "people"
@@sixunity1171 Well done, Sherlock. Nobody said that wasn't the case.
@@whalesharko4465 not just British
I remember watching this a lot as a kid and I used to think it was scripted. Literally found out today that it was just interviews with the general public. Like it even more now lol
Me too.
‘Carnivorous’
Explain yourself
Yeah but what they’re talking about is pretty specific to the experiences of zoo animals and not random people on the street.
same! 😂
Such an ingenious idea if you are running out of story ideas; record the general public and build characters/environments from what they are saying.
that's not the point - the film is called Creature Comforts - but the animals are talking about their life in a zoo and what they feel / think about living in captivity. Don't let the ordinary voices fool you :-D
Unfair to documentaries aren’t you
DJPAULETTEREAL Ordinary members of the British public were interviewed and then the animation was made to synch with their comments. It’s on the end of the video if you bothered to read this so yes, they are ‘ ordinary voices’ it’s nothing to do with running out if story ideas, if you’ve ever seen any Aardman productions you would know they have plenty of story of story ideas.

When the cougar points out the “double glazing” - genius 😂😂😂
30% good parts
70% *WE NEED THE SPACE! IT'S TOO COLD! IN BRAZIL WE-*
I think the Puma was nice!
Linus Overy-Smith brazil? Thai dude sounds from *MOTHER RUSSIA*
Sounds like Eduardo Bolsonaro!
BadFX wasnt that a lion without manes
Ah.
Um brasileiro.
Bem vindo ao inferno.
Eu sei que usou o tradutor.
Did y’all know that while this was in production, Aardman animation was helping Nick Park finish his first ever Wallace and Gromit short for a graduation project? Nick was helping them with this short and in return they helped him finish on time.
I didn’t know that but I love Wallace and Gromit!
@@SlapstickGenius23 Ayy, me too! that's my childhood right there
That Jaguar is definetly being voiced by a Brazilian
It was a Brazillian Student living in the UK that done the voice.
He sounded Italian to me.
@@Desmaad Well he isn't.
Pois é né
@@Desmaad that's because portuguese is s romanic language too and the way he say "technological" sounds really like a brazilian
I showed the mountain lion part to a Brazilian friend years ago and she loved it, agreeing with everything he said
I like the hippos and the bushbaby or maybe a tarsier
I thought it was an African lion not a cougar
+Becky Todd he mentioned brazil
It is supposed to be a Jaguar - the animator decided to not add the spots because it would have taken too long to animate
My brasilieira talks exactly like that Puma...I love it when she does that!
I used to watch this with my son when he was little.......He is 27 now and incarcerated. I do not know whether to laugh or cry.
ELAINE I am so sorry for you. That must break your heart. You would never have guessed it way back then, I’m sure.
I can't imagine what it must be like and I don't know why he was incarcerated, but I'm sorry that came to pass. 😔
Wow.
Well that took a fucking turn didnt it lmfao
Hurbs Buckooglberb I’m sure he has plenty of meat.....I’m so sorry.
I've always been a fan of the original British Creature Comforts. When the U.S. attempted to duplicate it, it just wasn't anywhere close.
I like both the creature comforts. It wouldn't hurt for you to be less of a dick about your enjoyment of the show.
@@OdaSwifteye they werent being a dick just expressing their opinion
The U.S. attempted to duplicate it? Wasn't that made by the same people though?
Max Nesius ahhh. The American version’s a coproduction of Aardman and Sony Pictures Television.
Fellow American over here but easily, the UK version is the essential.
I must say, I really like how this is put together, and how they interviewed people for real to animate animals speaking the unscripted lines. I can definitely see why this beat _A Grand Day Out_ for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film - and hey, at least they have the same creator! :)
It still astonishes me that Nick Park's first two films got nominated for a best animated short oscar AND ended up winning!
If this wasn’t scripted why did the puma talk about the food looking like dog food and he wanted more meat? Sounds like parts were in fact scripted.
It's like losing against yourself but also winning against yourself.
A similar thing happened in the Best Original Score category this 2021 Oscars when two Trent Reznor scores got nominated: David Fincher's Mank, and Disney-Pixar's Soul. Soul won.
@@HydraSpectre1138 - Or like 1977 when John Williams was nominated for both Star Wars and Close Encounters.
@@bdeneris Brazilians really love meat and in some colder parts of the world meat isnt as present as in Brasil. I went to live in Sweden for 4 years and I kinda agree with him. Could have still been scripted, though.
Clay animation has that special human touch and to be able to make so many models seem alive is just amazing.
Human “touch” you say ;3 iseewatudidthar
I gotta be honest here, a Brazilian mountain lion voice by a Brazilian accent is so fitting. We need more of him
as a brazilian myself, i'm almost 100% sure the guy that made the voice for the jaguar is also brazilian, the way that he says technology gives it away
He's usually everyone's favorite because it's so obvious he's sick of the British weather.
My 2nd favorite is the crowded tree rat mom with all the little flailing arms around her.
He does mention Brazil specifically.
É o jeito que ele fala é muito br
foi o melhor exemplo de inglês com sotaque brasileiro que eu já vi 🤌
@@soft-and-wet9788 mano, até os gestos são muito BR, os caras são geniais kk
That Jaguar speaks the damn truth. He isn't as conservative as like most of the other animals.
Puma
I thought it was lion but you're right
Its a jaguar?
I thought it was a lion but it’s a puma from Brazil
I think it's a cougar.
I remember being blown away by this as a kid. Thanks for the memories!
Can you list these animals?
Me, too! Laughed aloud then, laughed aloud now.
Me too! And still now! It is great to watch this again!!! Love it.
I didn’t get this as a kid. But as an adult, I find it brilliant!
Definitely as nostalgia moment, DRUNKARD
The jaguar is like Ayrton Senna complaining when drivers should leave a space during a turn and talk about how the environment in other countries are different in Brazil
R3D GH05T that’s not a Jaguar, that’s a cougar or a puma, did you not learn your animals? Lmao
"YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO LEAVE THE SPACE!" - Fernando Alonso, F1 driver
Finally someone else noticed that, proper sounds like a Senna interview.
Geez I kinda forget how much forethought goes into stop-motion. Lipsyncing frame by frame with little to no editing afterward. Yeah new appreciation for stop-motion animators.
I think they need an x sheet to count the frames
Props to these animals for speaking their minds
The Brazilian Jaguar sounded like Ayrton Senna talk about something else than racing
The way he says “double glazing” is hilarious.
Rhys Benjamin, dábou glêisingui
He’s a puma.
We are all basically the Brazilian jaguar right now.
Watching in 2024: presume you were watching during Covid lockdown 😔
1:48 "Technological like double glazed and thingz like that."
4:50 I. Have. Been. Looking. For. This. Clip. For. Over. Twenty. *YEARS!!* I never knew what to search for, but search algorithms have gotten so good that I whimsically decided to search for _tell me right now and I go claymation lion_ and BOOM! Brilliant. 💛
Never have a liked hearing “space” so much ❤️
The Jaguar is trying to get us to *come to Brazil*
3:07 Cute little voice
Circus 🎪 🐓
Nick Park's a genius.
He certainly is.
Marc Weerts as much as I admire his work, I wonder when he’s going to bring Wallace and Gromit back, or if he ever will for that matter.
@@arbytv5139 Doubtful there'll ever be another now that Peter Sallis is no longer here. Wallace with a different voice would be just wrong.
@@zacmumblethunder7466 they announced last year that there will be another 30 minute short in development, most likely with Ben Whitehead replacing Wallace which is the voice actor that took over the last few years. He does a great voice
@@linusmckinney3515 It's him in the DFS adverts isn't it? He certain does sound right. Mixed feelings.
really glad a lot of people got to see this. Has an important message.
It has several.
@@tiffanyscourt1729 One of them being, Britain's not for everybody. I live in the wet US Pacific NW so the UK climate suits me just fine. Love visiting there.
@@celestepalm6949 It certainly is for a lot of people, espesically more and more nowadays.
Yeah that zoos shouldn't be allowed which they shouldn't
I love the mountain lion from Brazil. He is the funniest with the perfect accent! So much alike lol!!!
1:31-1:33 me too.
What I've always loved about this is the lip syncing and motions of the animals is great. They make them so expressive it's amazing.
"We like meat, we like fresh meat" me and my kids who are now 26 & 28, can still go right back into the whole jaguar's part! 😆
When the koala puts her glasses on she looks like the old lady from Ratatouille
As an australian, im offended you think thats a koala
It’s a tarsier. Tarsiers have massive eyes, the joke is that she actually has tiny eyes but is wearing thick glasses that make the eyes look massive
@The Krookodile Hunter 2:37-2:42 they live from South-Eastern Asia.
@The Krookodile Hunter no, but I researched it where they come from.
I'm Brazilian and I understand well what the jaguar is talking about. Imagine moving from a warm and sunny continental country to a cold and foggy little island? England may be richer, but I imagine how suffocating it must be to live in a tiny cubicle inside a little cold island eating only potatoes day and night after living all your life in the large warm and sunny spaces of Brazil used to eating meat along with the potatoes.
That guy who did the jaguar (or is it a puma?) deserves a true job as a voice actor.
Just a puma from Brazil.
@@nathancruz9172 thanks for reminding me. Everyone keeps saying it's a jaguar. But still, that guy who's voice was used for it deserves to be in the voice acting industry.
Several comments back is a guy saying that the Puma guy went on to make a fortune in Business in S.America...who knows..but his performance was funny...
@@jeremyripton it’s sure does.
I remember when I first saw this as a kid on Nickelodeon, I was blown away! It’s still amazing what can be done with stop motion animation in the hands of geniuses!!
I remember watching this original creature comforts on 📀 from Christmas 🎄 2002, when I was about 6 years old. But, my dad destroyed it at the time, when it has adult themes like Adam and not without my 👜 as I was 11 years old.
@Laura B, me too. I remember seeing this short video a long time ago. About the time I was in the second grade. I can picture my old classmates back 30 years ago seeing the part where that one hippo🦛in the back around 1:02 that pooped, they be like, “E-e-w!” You know? But, man, it’s just been so many years since Nickelodeon had such decent shows for my generation of kids back then could watch. Oh, such good memories.
i like your pf
First saw it on Nick as well.
@@nathancruz9172Dang, I feel sorry for you.
I love the lion on a tree "... i needa space..."
jamie andrews it’s actually Es-space. A Latin pronunciation. Pretty darned cool!
It’s a Jaguar
It’s a puma
Ai nide espeice, iú nou? Ai nide rote uéder
This video definitely has that Wallace and Gromit feel to it
Same studio
The polar bears remind me of Wallace. I think it's the eyes
GameCargo thats because its made from the same person
Soulkiller999 11 *facepalm*
same company
www.aardman.com/the-studio/
the eyes and the mouth
Its the eyebrows
I remember seeing this for the first time at a Spike and Mike Festival of Animation in 1989 and being absolutely smitten.
2:14
This gorilla is relatable for quarantine
Oh my God, I can’t believe this is actually on here, I was just looking this up by chance. I first saw this on Nickelodeon a long time ago, and they played it for a little bit between shows. My mom and I used to laugh at the mountain lion - “We don’t like potatoes, we like meat, fresh MEAT”. 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for posting this
You're very welcome Elizabeth, we're glad you found your way here! :-)
*"Fresh M E A T"*
I remember when these shorts first came out. They were so fresh and exciting and very very funny. Couldn't wait for the next dose... Wonderful.
This worked so well it seems because modern city life for the majority of the humans living in them feels a LOT like living in an enclosure in a zoo. That's exactly what I feel like where I live, it's exactly like a confined and artificial habitat/enclosure and there is no escape from it. I totally identify, which is why I love this short so much. I think I actually appreciate it now even more so today than ever before, that's not a good thing when it comes to how I feel about where I live. It's exactly the same feeling. Like an animal in an artificial habitat in a zoo. I live in Tampa Florida. Take it from me it's not worth visiting for a vacation.
Well-designed cities should feel the opposite. Hope you find someplace you enjoy
i saw this short way back in the early 90s and to this day my friend and i quote the puma from time to time.
After spending two years in London I completely understand where the Brazilian puma is coming from.
That Jaguar sounds just like the great Ayrton Senna. It's uncanny!
It’s actually a puma.
not That much
I send this to my College roommate every year on his birthday because in 1992 we must have watched it 300 times. There are so many great parts. My favorite is facial expressions the polar bear parents give every time Andrew starts talking! Love it!
0:20 that’s cool.
I went to the Aardman exhibition today. Was incredible and gave me so much nostalgia. Love their stuff its truly one of a kind.
THIS CHANNEL IS BACK. I AM HAPPY
I love aardman because they're passionate about their work
I also wish they could revive creature comforts
*The Brazilian jaguar literally stole the show he’s awesome😂🩵❤️*
This beat "A Grand Day Out" for an Oscar
It's kinda weird that one project beat out another for an Oscar when both projects were worked on by the same people & studio.
This is a masterpiece of claymation. I laughed my head off when I first saw it. Thanks for bringing it back.
This is possibly my favorite animated short of all time! Incredible stuff. A great concept perfectly executed. I loved it when it first came out, and I love it now, many years later!
Jaguar talking Brazil sounds so real XD
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
I've loved this film for almost 20 years, and the show it spawned :)
Brilliant! Thank you for this channel,; the timing, the humor, the animals' expressions are all impeccable and I find these shows endlessly funny. You are geniuses!
Beautiful animation and highlighting the real tragedy of zoos.
When I first saw this years ago, I thought it was one of the most brilliant concepts for animation. My feelings haven't changed.
The polar bear family are now in therapy
That is my favorite. I am Brazilian, and the Jaguar accent is so much fun to hear. Sounds just like me ... The monkey does not like to be rained on ... awesome. They really should not be in cages.
3:38 "fresh meat!" 🤣
Will never get tired / bored of watching this - I love it.
Absolutely classic!
Adore how the jaguar actually has a brazillian accent, perfect touch!
Actually, that’s a puma.
@@nathancruz9172 my bad, that does make more sense
The guy who voiced the Brazilian Puma has gone on to become one of the richest men in South America
I still some times use that "Space, I need space!" with the hand gesture, but I had completely forgotten where it came from 😂😂🐈
My favorite Creature Comforts and introduced to Nick Park.
Saw this when it first hit the animation festivals. First time to see it since then. LOVE it and it is pure genius. I’m still amazed!
"No Lions Andrew just the ordinary steak"
The ammount of detail put into these things, the ammount of patience the animators have... it amazes me
Thats incredible and so funny! No wonder Nick Park won the Oscar! Great
This was always the highlight of every animation film festival.
I haven’t seen a short film when it aired on Nickelodeon Back in the 80s and early 90s.
Это сколько нужно было времени, чтобы льву каждое движение рук так четко прорабатывать, несмотря на то, что он особо не двигается. Эмоции настолько хорошо сделаны, что он больше походит не на пластилиновую анимацию, а как будто перед тобой живой человек.
When my brother and I were kids, we watched this short all the time and the following series afterwards. I'm surprised they did not try to get back in touch with the fella behind the Jaguar the same way they got back the fella behind the tortoise. I hope that jaguar got his space in the end...
I watched this in party Royale earlier
It's so calming and satisfying to watch.
NICK PARK IS AN AARDMAN LEGEND!!! LONG LIVE AARDMAN FOR ALL ETERNITY!!!
As a kid I didn't understand a thing they were saying yet this had me completely INVESTED lol
I fully agree with the Jaguar and the Ape. Small habitats suck regardless of concierge zoo service.
The bit at 3:19 has just absolutely floored me, hysterically funny
Wait. *How did you get floored?*
This is the same animator that did the movie about the escaping chickens from a chicken ranch...I can't remember the name of the movie, sorry, but I do remember watching these series on t.v. for a short time years ago... GENIUS is all I can say.
Chicken Run, Wonderful movie!
I'm always impressed by the quality of this.
"Name it and I'll go!"
4:49-4:50 puma
I love how RUclips didn't recommend this as kids
Me too. But, I find this creature comforts of more teenage to adult 🧑🏻 age from the early classic Aardman animation.
This short is sort of a core memory as I remember they would play it VERY early in the morning on Nickelodeon so I'd end up seeing it while waiting for other shows to come on. Good times
I knew about this short but I actually had never seen it and now it has become probably one of my favorite animated shorts ever...also on a more geekish side note, now I love a lot more "Wallace & gromit in The project Zoo" because many of the designs of the zoo animals are based on this short... what a great tribute to Nick park and Aardmans origins...
Oh my god! I was a baby when I saw this the last time and that was over 20 years ago. It was on my Wallace and Gromit: A Grande Day Out video cassette, I couldn't remember the title of it for the life of me all these years. And yet here I am today over 20 years later, typing out a comment on RUclips about how much I enjoyed this short clip and that it's still a memory in my mind after all these years. Short clips like these stay with you for life. Thank you so much for uploading this and making me smile today
*'90s NICKELODEON* brought me here!!
That kid polar bear is so adorable!
I LOVE the Aardman style animation with the same eyes, and the stop motion. I should try doing claymation
I think the cougar or whatever he was brings up a good point about enclosures.
You're Goddamn right
Yes. Its a cougar. But you can also call it a puma or mountain lion.
Aardman just has such a distinct style. You see those big mouths and round eyes, you know he worked on something. :)
stop motion had never been this expressive before.
Beg to.differ...Morph was a star!
Object in a Box...from the Puma.. sums up this last year so well.
