Creature Comforts is an American takeoff on the UK show of the same name. I’ve watched the first two episodes and been thoroughly entertained, but I’m thinking, how long can it go on? Will the novelty of conversations (no matter how intriguing and real they may be) dubbed over claymation animals wear off after time?
The claymation is incredibly well done though, and totally in sync with the speech. It’s almost as if the animals are really talking, and when they say something that reflects the characteristics of the animal representing them (ie. A guy’s conversation about his nose, or “beak” as he referred to it, was dubbed onto a toucan) you really see the animal references that pop up in daily conversation, that kind of go unnoticed.
All in all I think it’s the most inventive copy of a show I’ve ever seen. I’d recommend it.
