An article from the Multiple Sclerosis section of a Medical News website talks about the new website www.creature discomforts.org, a site with ads created by the team that does all those Wallace & Gromit shows and movies. From the article:The disability charity has teamed up with Aardman Animations to create Creature Discomforts, based on the much-loved Creature Comforts series but featuring the hallmark Plasticine characters voiced by people with disabilities including multiple sclerosis (MS).
The characters include wheelchair-user Peg the Hedgehog, Spud the Slug in his mobility scooter and Tim the Tortoise on crutches and carry the voices and experiences of real people living with MS.
Matthew Trainer, Head of Communications at the MS Society, said: "Creature Discomforts will raise issues faced by people living with disabilities in a way that has not been done before. We hope this will challenge the discrimination and ignorance that people with MS face."
The animations use the genuine voices of a number of disabled people describing in their own words the negative attitudes and barriers they experience, which separate them from society.
Please visit the Creature Discomforts website to see all the ads. And then, visit Elim's YouTube site to watch some of our videos too!
