Nick Park's animated stop-motion short Creature Comforts was one of Aardman Animations' greatest triumphs, winning an Oscar in 1990 for its hilarious clay animals talking about being in a zoo—using audio of real interviews with British people talking about the same subject.

Now, Aardman has done a PSA in a similar style for a U.K. group called Bristol Ageing Better—to illustrate the elderly's experiences of social isolation and what they can do to be less lonely.
