Mr Bean - The Animated Series - Vol. 2 DVD

Advantages: entertains the kids
Disadvantages: not brilliant, not that funny, more cute than funny

I'm sure everyone will remember the hilarious sketch series done by Rown Atkinson as Mr Bean that took the nation by storm in the 80's and early 90's. However he must feel that his looks have faded and has decided to hide behind the newest comedy snippet programme for kids ' animated Mr Bean'. Really I don't mind, and i'm sure that other won't either how ugly Rowan has got, he is and always wil be, a comedy genius. The introduction of a cartoon Mr Bean intrigued me and so bought the series on DVD. I wondered whether it really was rowan attikinson doing the voice of Mr Bean, and of course 'teddy', as it really doesn't sound like him at all and it wouldnt be surprising as the odd grunt and whimper can be done by anyone. The basic and gody colours are also a let down. They make Mr Bean look tacky and very childish despite being modern ...

Review of Mr Bean - The Animated Series Vol.2 (DVD)

Mr Bean Animated Series - Vol.4 DVD

Advantages: Cartoon entertainment for kids
Disadvantages: not as funny as the original, bad graphics, poor comedy

into the most hilarious of misadventures. He rarely speaks and mumbles all the time. Mr Bean the original used used body language as apposed to words, to deliver the major portion of his dialog. He also brought out a full length film in 1997 entitled ''Bean The Ultimate Disater Movie'', so having mastered both the big and small screen how else could they 'milk' Rowan's genius character... Well animation of course. What other way to perfectly destroy what was done and dusted in the 90's. I personally think the film was good but in parts was pushing the unique Mr Bean character. COST: £9.99 PLACE OF PURCHASE: Blockbuster NUMBER OF DISCS: 1 CERTIFICATE: U For almost a tenner you get one dvd with a handful of extras and trailers, also one interview with rowan atkinson on the making of animated Mr Bean. DVD Also includes seven ...

Review of Mr Bean - The Animated Series Vol.4 (DVD)

Mr Bean - The Animated Series - Vol. 1 DVD

Advantages: distracts the children
Disadvantages: not funny, humour very simple and mostly slapstick or toilet houmour.

I'm quite surprised to learn that some people atually like the animated series of Mr Bean, and find it just as entertaining, if not more appealing than the 'proper' Mr Bean. When I refer to proper Mr Bean I am of course talking about Rowna Atkinson's smash hit comedy sitcom in the 90's which followed a dry and whimsical character make a complete mess of very simple everyday activities like a trip to the swimming pool, parking his car, or visiting the cinema. Personally I love the original Mr Bean, although some detest his bumbling foolish nature, I find him entertaining on a unique scale. Maybe it's because a part of me feels sorry for him or that in some cercumstances it is really quite ingenuis how you can get make some of the simplest tasks a complete disaster. However the animated series proved to be a complete let down ...
