The fully illustrated companion to the classic Creature Comforts animated series Creature Comforts captured the minds of the world with its use of innovative animation and voices of ordinary people. With microphone in view, creatures in a zoo talked about their lifestyle and what they missed about their freedom. That short film took on a life of its own, and later spawned the massively popular Heat Electric campaign in the UK, recently nominated as one of the top three advertising campaigns ever produced in Britain. Now Creature Comforts are back! A highly anticipated series is scheduled for transmission in Autumn 2003 on ITV1 with world-wide broadcast deal in negotiation, and will feature the original Creature Comforts stars (who can forget Frank the Tortoise and his classic `off and onable` catchphrase) , along with almost 100 new characters. Talking to camera on themes such as home life, the garden and the seaside in vox pop style, our Plasticine friends will once again endear themselves to the public. Creating Creature Comforts goes behind the scenes of both the original film and new series, examining its influence on the world of animation and film plus interviews with the creatives behind the scenes and famous fans. From Oscar success and the early advertising campaign of the 1990s to the relaunch of the brand in 2003, Creating Creature Comforts provides a definitive look at another Aardman success story.

If you are not satisfied with the description of a book, it may be returned within 30 days with prior notice, in the same condition as received, for a full refund. If you have particular requirements regarding the condition of books, e.g. concerns about odour, please contact me before ordering the book (if there is a strong odour this will generally be mentioned in the description but for some older books with a variety of signs of age this may not be mentioned specifically).

Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within 2 business days.
UK Orders: Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 lb, or 1 kg. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. If you are buying a small paperback or another small book then the postage and packing will generally be reduced by £1.50 and I will reduce the charge before processing your order.
European Orders: Shipping costs are based on books weighing 800g. For European orders I have only quoted a price for air mail. Not all European countries have been added so your shipping may appear high. Please note that I will adjust the charge I make if this is the case and postage to Europe will be lower than the rest of the world. If you are buying a small paperback or another small book then the postage and packing will generally be reduced by £1.50 and I will reduce the charge before processing your order.
Other overseas orders: shipping costs are based on books weighing 800g. I will generally use whatever method is covered by the standard postage charge but if you specifically wish to have it sent surface or airmail or anything else please ask and I will amend the charge accordingly. Please only choose the cheaper surface mail option if you do not mind waiting - the suggested upper time limit for this form of delivery is 60 days and it can take that long - and sometimes a bit longer. If therefore you wish to receive the book in 2-3 weeks then please opt for the more expensive postage option which will guarantee airmail delivery. If you are buying a small paperback or another small book then the postage and packing will generally be reduced by £1.50 and I will reduce the charge before processing your order.
Books are usually wrapped in bubblewrap and then in cardboard. Please ask if you have any particular requirements.
