Mr. Bean: The Animated Series

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!

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 !

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.

I wasn't expecting much and part of me knew it wouldn't be as good as the brilliant live-action TV series. It is inferior, I agree one or two jokes are a tad too simple and somewhat childish. But actually, this animated series is very good. The animation is very nice, the colours and backgrounds are done with care and Mr Bean still acts and looks zany as an animated character. The music, for piano this time, is very fitting, the visual gags and physical comedy still makes me laugh, most of it is really quite hilarious and the characters are as cute and as zany as ever. Rowan Atkinson excels still as the lovable character we all know as Mr Bean. Overall, this animated series is surprisingly very good. 8/10 Bethany Cox

When i first heard of this, i thought it would be a cheap spinoff, that was not funny, i couldn't of "bean" more wrong, this cartoon is the best thing since the simpsons, it's hilarious, original, and most importantly, it's not American.
