Heat Electric - Creature Comforts (1990, UK)

Every single Advert from the classic Creature Comforts Campaign created by Aardman Animations for Heat Electric.
Like the original short film they are based on, the Ads feature lovable plasticine animals being interviewed. And also like the original short, everything the animals say are actually from interviews the crew filmed from actual people, except in the original short film they were talking about their experiences at the zoo and their dream homes, whereas here they talk about the electrical powered stuff they have at home like heat and cookers.
Directed by Nick Park at Aardman Animations.

The lump in the throat of that tortoise when he swallowed had me dying! 😂😂😂

[@jasonanthony166]

I vaguely remember that the voices aren't actors but real people with genuine regional accents in an interview situation. They came up with phrases that script writers just couldn't think of, 'it's so turn on and off-able' brilliant!

[@thebagelsproductions]

True. Production team interview members of the general public. Some people who were interviewed post in comments section at times. They asked a huge range of questions and recorded a lot of audio, but the people interviewed don't know what animals will be animated or which sections of audio get used. Good system for the shows and these information clips

[@cheetahpanther1306]

Love the penguin flicking his feet 😂😂😂😂

[@ColinMill1]

I love the idea of a tortoise coming in after a 10 mile slog.

[@annamossity8879]

This is a brilliant series! ❤

[@fc4660]

“Easily turn on and offable” I still remember when these ads aired. What unscripted brilliance from the British public

[@MorningNapalm]

"They've got to be easily turn off and onable"

[@TheRealClankZoka]

Gotta love Creature Comforts, the short, the UK series and the Countryside PIF, anything with those hilarious animals is bound to be fun, this is no expecting, this was also featured on Aardman’s Classics DVD and VHS along with the original Oscar winning short!, so yeah all of these ads are wonderfully animated and funny as to be expected!

[@Dafni.Cortes]

I really love the voice and the style of the turtle, it kinda reminds me of those Aardman styles for some reaso-NO WAIT! IT IS AARDMAN!

[@matthewkirby6080]

I know there were hubba bubba adverts as well with a similar concept such as peacocks. “Was that Aardman?” 🦚

[@AwesomeHyperSonic547]

Love these, they are so brilliant and funny for adverts. The last advert with the parrot and the other birds then gathering outside reminds me of The Birds. 🤣

[@andypandy9013]

“Easily turn on and offable” became something of a catchphrase for a while. 🙂

[@Ron-Ayres]

Yes, except it's the other way around! 😆🔥

I think the voice at the end was Johnny Morris

[@Ron-Ayres]

You're correct, it was!

Reminder that while it seems scripted, these are the voices of the real early 90s British everyman and woman being interviewed.

[@suntannedduck2388]

Very good. Never seen the Pigs, Monkeys or the last Penguin one. The shower/tumble dry electric ones. I love the background moments but that unfortunate the penguin in the background compared to in the kitchen of the other ones. Creature Comforts and the wording/animation is so good. I enjoy animation ads. Many insurance companies I see and go ah the animation. That or the red bull or certain other ads. Or pet food ads.

Does anyone know why was there a big push towards electric everything in 1990?

[@IWasaTeenageTeenWolf]

Probably because of the gas crisis back in the 90s.

Proper adverts...not like the crap today. Frank was my favourite. 👍

They still do ads while working on other projects Is a good way to fund the feature films as your basically advertising your legit skills
