Advantages: kids like it Disadvantages: is nothing compared to the original
The new cartoon format of 'Mr Bean' is all in all a complete let down. I got very excited when I heard that a cartoon mr bean was coming out. I had expected it to be along the lines of the classic comedy sitcom sketches by Rowan Atkinson, but it's nothing like it one bit. The modern artwork tries to make Mr Bean look appealing to the younger generation and completely destroys his unique clumsy geek image.

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 animatedseries proved to be a complete let down ...

That is just the beginning of the film and I won't spoil it by telling you anymore of the plotline.
