Movie Reviews of Creature Comforts
Movie Review: Price is okay. Just not up to snuff.
Summary: 3 Stars
I (like just about everyone else who has bought this) expected it to be more of a rough/early Nick Park production. While the title film "Creature Comforts" is entertaining, the other three films really didn't measure up. I know this was done well before most of the Wallace and Gromit work, but it doesn't stand up very well on its own. If they would have had some "Making Of..." special features talking about how the techniques led to W&G or Chicken Run, I could have enjoyed it quite a lot. But, by themselves, the four shorts just aren't all that great.Movie Review: Great for Claymation fans
Summary: 3 Stars
I've always liked the earlier Aardman Animations, and more recently Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run. This DVD is worth getting just for "Creature Comforts" and "Not Without my Handbag". The rest of the short claymation films are OK, but not worth watching more than a few times-- and don't be fooled, it's not for kids, some of the themes are pretty dark. Otherwise, this collection of short claymations is worth it for the price, and if you like other Aardman Animations (Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run), you will definitely enjoy this DVD.Movie Review: One out of four ain't bad
Summary: 3 Stars
If you can get it cheaply, it's worth buying this DVD just for the short "Creature Comforts." The rest of the stuff on here -- "Wat's Pig," "Not Without My Handbag" and "Adam" -- was done by people other than Nick Park, and just isn't all that interesting.It's too bad they didn't put out a "Best of Nick Park" DVD, with all of the "Wallace and Gromit" shorts, "Creature Comforts," and maybe some of Nick's better commercials. Oh well!
Movie Review: Too short
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this mainly because it was 'Creature Comforts' that introduced me to Nick Park. No special features, not even English subtitles. As an American, I had a little difficulty understanding the British accents. Multiple viewing helps. Overall the DVD runs about 30 minutes. The 6 minute 'Creature Comforts' is the best of the four. Even at a low price this DVD is pushing the value envelope. It's not worth it unless you absolutely love Nick Park animation and have to have it in your collection.Movie Review: American viewers are left out.
Summary: 3 Stars
This DVD is good, but only has four shorts on it. The Aardman Classics DVD (region 2 only) has these four shorts plus around 22 more! So that one has other shorts like "Next" and "War Story" which have not been released on DVD in the U.S. (yet). I don't know why they didn't release that here instead of just a fraction of it. Anyway, you should check out this DVD, especially if you like claymation.
