Creature Comforts: “The Circus”

On paper, this show's concept must have seemed funny: put real people's voices in the mouths of animated animals and see how funny even the most banal sentiments become.

Unfortunately, the concept grows old very quickly and proves little more than the fact that even something as funny as talking animals can become unfunny in the wrong hands.

The sad part is that director Nick Park -- creator of the 2000 movie Chicken Run and the Wallace and Gromit shorts -- usually produces work that is far more entertaining. I am guessing that this show was produced in one of his more experimental phases.
