The Mr. Men Show

I just love the new "Mr. Men Show". Why did it take them so long to bring this back? I have all the books from when I was little. It is wonderful to see all the characters come to life. Miss Naughty was always my favorite as a kid and she is so fun on the show. I can't wait to see what she will get into next! I also love Mr Messy. The animation is really interesting and gives the feel of the flatness in the old books, but with a lot more color. I also like the website. It's a fun place to go with kids because you can click on each character and hear their voices and see individual videos. I wish I could find more Mr. Men toys out there. I have this old Miss Naughty sticker on a journal that brings back such great memories. Oh well, I love the show! Keep up the good work!

everyone has their own opinion, but my little girl loves this show. is it silly and stupid? of course, but it's got some wit and being 31 i remember all the books as a kid so it's a kick to see this show now as i don't remember the old one everyone is talking about.

now to those complaining about the accents i say.......GET A GRIP!! so Mr. rude has a french accent. so? first of all, who cares? people are so uptight anymore it's really sad. secondly, that's been a stereotype forever, the rude Frenchmen. who cares?!!!!!!!!!!!? why can't people just laugh anymore about stupid things like that? who cares about the accents, it's just people trying to make up voices. i always hear someone complaining that an accent on some show is a stereotype and every time i hear the word stereotype i want to scream. how does a stereotype become a stereotype? so get over the stupid accent thing and enjoy a goofy show that's fun for kids. all i would say is, if Mr. rude had a regular American accent, wouldn't that be offensive to Americans? so get past that and enjoy a fun show and laugh a little. there are a lot of terrible cartoons out there and this one is fun.

Ignore the review bombing over the accents. The complaints about the "defamatory" accents are unwarranted and stupid. If you watch the original UK version, just about every character in this show has a silly accent. If you are that concerned about how a kids' show cartoon character sounds, especially if they are meant to be silly, then you need to get a life.

In no way does the show intend to perpetuate negative stereotypes with the voices that it uses. If this were the case, then the targeted characters would be defamed and pointed out for what specific accent they had.

This negative press reminds me a lot of The Problem With Apu situation. Apu may have a silly voice, but so does just about every other character in The Simpsons. The point of both of these cartoons is to make fun of ourselves, not to try and hurt someone or their culture.

Beyond this stupid complaint that I keep seeing in these reviews, the show is awesome. For one, the intro itself is top notch. It's still stuck in my head to this day, and every character is perfectly suited for the entire 45 seconds.

Another thing that I love is the relatability of these characters. They may be simple, but their personalities mesh perfectly with what I go through in my daily life.

In addition, this show is very faithful to the original source material. Just like the books, the character designs are fun, creative, and expressive in just about every shot.

For anyone who loves the book series, this show is a must watch.

The ORIGINAL Mr.Men was created in 1971 and was actually really good. The characters didn't really speak, as there was a narrator who was extremely gentile. The plots and flow of THOSE stories, WERE good, entertaining, and cute. Also, those original stories were not racist or suggestively so, in any way. Ah the good old days! What's really funny is that I wasn't even born until 1983, and yet, in 6th grade, watched all the 'movies' and read ALL the books. You would think that a person such as myself, being from a younger generation, would like the "new and improved", however, I really truly believe, that a classic should be left alone, to stay a classic. Wholesome and precious, should not be re conformed to hate and idiocy.

...seriously The Mr Men Show is really not a bad show. It is cute, charming, funny and appealing. Even if the first couple of episodes were a little slow, it got better. I can also say that in my opinion that there are a lot worse animated shows out there, some are terrible, some started off good but are now mediocre. This isn't terrible or mediocre in my opinion that is. I grew up on the books and I still like them very much, and I think the show does a good job sticking to the spirit of the books if not always in the details. The animation is bright and colourful, and one reviewer is right that it is like Charlie Brown, which has a wonderful animation style. The music is a pleasant surprise, not beeny-boppish, grating or anything, it is simple and memorable for kids. The story lines are fun and appealing and teach some subtle messages without preaching, as are the characters. The voice acting I think is fine, I am not even going to start dwelling on the accents issue as I for one didn't have a problem with it. Overall, an underrated and fun show, certainly not as bad as the negative reviews or the rating on here say.- that is of course my opinion, which you are fine with disagree with. 9/10 Bethany Cox
