Mr. Bean

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.

The live-action version of Mr. Bean was hilarious. The movie was a little disappointing (being a rehash of some of the more famous sketches, but inserted into an actual plot). The animated series is visually gorgeous, with the use of the latest technology in animation, but a cartoon caricature of a cartoonish real-life character is somewhat redundant. Maybe Rowan Atkinson is getting a little old to do even more outrageous antics than in his first series, so is letting an animated character take the reins. The series certainly does capitalize on the freedom of animation, being more comedically surreal, but is essentially the same old Mr. Bean, voiced by Mr. Bean. Entertainment for all ages based on entertainment for all ages.

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

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.

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.
