I'm not sure either whether it quite qualifies as but I certainly agree that its an amusing and thoughtful film. Our copy of "Creature Comforts" is in a compilation entitled "Aardman Animations Vol. 1" from Connoisseur Video, 10A Stephen Mews, London W1P 0AX, but you may have to find an American source if you want an NTSC copy. **************************************** Philip Jackson [log in to unmask] National Library of Australia ****************************************
