Creature discomforts

Nov 13 2007

The creators of Wallace and Gromit have unveiled their latest characters - all of whom share a disability.

Aardman Animations have teamed up with the Leonard Cheshire Disability charity to launch Creature Discomforts, based on their much-loved Creature Comforts series.

The six animal characters - including Peg the Hedgehog and Slim the Stick Insect - aims to highlight the disadvantages that disabled people experience every day, and to raise awareness among the public and can be viewed online at www.creaturediscomforts.org.
