Mr. Bean: The Animated Series

I love Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean who I always felt was more of a cartoon character than an actual human being. Mr. Bean is quite childlike in his nature. We don't know where he come from or who is his parents or anything else. We see him constantly try to handle life on earth without guidance unless you count his teddy bear as his true companion. He seems clueless yet he continues to drive around his little yellow car and act quite naive. We barely here him talk. The character could remind me of a Samuel Beckett character or play where he is quite minimal. The character of Mr. Bean is one to study. He appeals to a wide audience who may not get British humor. The show is more done without scripting but direction just like the show itself.

It reminds me of my childhood when my father and myself used to be glued to the TV and watched it and laughed. The charm still persists and fun to watch with each episode of just 10 mins. Love it !

Anyone who giggled at the original Bean series would laugh out loud at this one. Mr. Bean gets himself into all kinds of hot water, but now he can get into things a real person can't. Seeing is believing. This is hilarious!

So it was decided to return the bumbling figure in a new setting. Mr. Bean made a comeback in 2002, but this time as a cartoon. Atkinson himself made a comeback to lend the voice. Additionally, Mr. Bean's beloved teddy bear made an appearance.

The animation merely continued where the first one left off, with Mr. Bean encountering numerous absurd circumstances. He also enjoyed driving around in his car or causing commotion at home. He would always come up with the most peculiar solution to any issue. Other recurring characters included Mrs. Wicket, the fairly elderly and grouchy landlord, and her cat Scrapper. Mr. Bean's patient girlfriend was also present.

This cartoon was amazing it's defiantly a treat for all Mr Bean fans and a worth introduction to Mr Bean for the newer generation.

I used to enjoy this show when it used to be on back in the early 2000's but when it returned in 2014/2015 something didn't feel right.
