Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is a right gem of a short animation. The plasticine characters are marvellously created, and they move so flawlessly, picking up on every sound detail produced by the people, (its incredible!)The dialogue is just as wonderful: Some of it is scripted, other parts come from real interviews. This makes it all the more funny and fascinating. The characters (gorilla, hippo, tortoise, and a very frustrated Brazilian leopard) are very memorable.This is a very clever creation, and a lovely reminder of the beauty of stop-motion animation.Truly deserving of every award it won. Well done to the artists, and especially to Nick Park--a true genius! He will forever remain one of the greatest magicians in the world of animation *****out of 5

This made by the same guy who brought us Wallace and Gromit, Nick Park.Done the same year "A Grand Day Out" was done as well.It all has to do with interviewing the Animals at a British Zoo. They express what's good and what not too good about the place.They feature a Brazillian Mountain Lion, 3 Polar Bears, some weird looking chickens, and many more! This short film is priceless, and worth seeing again and again.Perfect example on what British Animation and humor is like.Those who like Wallace and Gromit will enjoy this one too.It's available to see online and on DVD.

You know Creature Comforts is going to be a great claymation film when you see that it is directed by Nick Park, the fellow who brought you Chicken Run and the Wallace & Gromit series. Creature Comforts is a series of claymation shorts. The first is Creature Comforts, which some might remember was aired sometimes in between shows on Nickelodean during the early 90s. It is a nifty idea, an interviewer asks zoo animals about their opinion of captive living to come to the conclusion that they'd rather be wild animals. I love the owl with the giant glasses. Another story works like The Man in the Iron Mask, where twin brothers separated from birth live in the same village. One is the king while another is an idyllic serf. When danger overtakes the castle, the serf brother is asked to take the place of his twin who wishes to flee danger. There's another one which is a sort of live action/claymation short about the creation of Adam and well...a kind of Eve.But the best, or at least my favorite in the series, is "Not Without My Handbag," which is more like a Tim Burton-esque kind of story of a woman who defaulted on her payments for Dante's Washing Machines and, as punishment, is taken to hell. But, she's floating around in pergatory until she can get her handbag. Everyone one of the shorts are a lot of fun. I have a hard time saying that any one Nick Park movie is better than the next because I love them all, but I think I love this one most.

This is one of the films you can watch ten times in a row and still laugh your butt off every time you see it. I believe, they tried to let animals in a zoo speak out how foreigners might feel about Europe. So, this short makes you think a little. But above all, it makes you laugh a lot! The ice bears are so sympathetic, but the Brazilian puma (or whatever he is) is definitely the funniest. He should get a series of his own!
