Music Video: Nina Simone: My Baby Just Cares For Me

My Baby Just Cares For Me... "featured on her (Nina Simone 1933-2003) debut album Little Girl Blue (1958) and was unnoticed for many years. Then in the mid-1980s, the song gets used in a Chanel no.5 advertisement. It was released as a single, and became one of Simone's biggest hits, causing her comeback."
Wikipedia

"Simone would never benefit financially from the album (Little Girl Blue), because she sold the rights for 3000 dollars. It meant that she missed out on more than 1 million dollars of royalties (mainly because of the successful re-release of "My Baby Just Cares for Me" in the 1980s)."

The animation is of course made by Aardman Animations.

Creature Comforts

This is sort of an update to the post I made the other day about Aardman Animations. Bountiful Brazilian Bibi of Bibi's Box has found the best of the Ardman productions which is the one where the animals at a zoo are interviewed. Here it is: AtomFilms - Creature Comforts or if it doesn't work for you try this (mov.). There are more Aardman at AtomFilms - look here. Also there is this little piece of government information.


UPDATE! Here's the first and original Creature Comforts - the one that won Nick Park the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1990. Also there's quite a lot of other Creature Comforts clips to watch on YouTube.


UPDATE! A clip from the upcoming new Wallace & Gromit movie can be seen here. Thanks again Bibi.
