I think this is my favourite Aardman animation and it's probably the simplest. The interviewer takes a delightfully comedic ping at the dreaded television "vox pop" by going to a zoo where she interviews an host of the occupants. Some are perfectly happy in their centrally heated, double glazed environment where they are fed and watered regularly, others - like the Brazilian lion need space, more space and then even more space. Oh, and water that he can can drink and swim in! The chickens steal the show for me, especially the two in the background who mimic the wave to the camera thing whist their pal is extolling the virtues of life in captivity. The dialogue entertainingly parodies the kind of nervously inane comments you get from the public when they are interviewed for the telly and it's genuinely funny. The stop motion clay-mation and the attention to the detailed depth of the characters and the scenarios as they relate their stories makes this a must watch.
