Merry Christmas - Creature Comforts


These 1990-ish 'Creature Comforts' films combined actual recordings of the great British public, with the animation genius that is Nick Park. Still just as good today, as it was when first shown.

I read daily but only comment occasionally. I'm getting lazy in my old age!

Merry Christmas, Cro. May your day be filled with love and laughter. xx

Cro Magnon said...

It'll be very simple and rustic here, but I have the Turkey, the Sprouts, and some good wine; so things are looking OK. A happy Christmas to you and your family Jacqueline, and, as you say, let's hope for a better 2021. xx

Cro Magnon said...

I suspect it will be, thank you Andi. It all kicks off at about 6 pm, and doesn't finish until Jan 2nd. I hope I survive. xx

I presume you are deep in snow over in Toronto. Not so Christmassy here, in fact it's a bit damp and miserable. xx
