Rowan Atkinson's man-child adapts perfectly to an animated format in this collection's 18 episodes. For the most part, the scripts--written or edited by Robin Driscoll, one of the longtime creators of all things Bean--are indistinguishable from the live-action series. In "In the Wild," the fussy, grunting hero goes on a photo safari in Britain's wilds, only to cause havoc among fellow bird-watchers. "Missing Teddy" continues the animal theme with an instant-classic sequence in which Bean clears a busy veterinarian's waiting room by inadvertently healing some ailing pets. "Roadworks" finds a sleepy Bean at war with a noisy construction crew, and "Nurse" reveals his standing fantasy of being treated like royalty while in hospital. Good stuff both for Bean fanatics and children who never saw the real Atkinson's head stuck in a turkey. The star isn't entirely out of the picture: Atkinson provides priceless vocal performances. --Tom Keogh

 Mr. Bean is great November 18, 2008
Karen Reuter (Germany)
I bought the complete cartoon series for my kids after having seen the story with the fly in his bedroom, on tv. I didnt expect to enjoy the cartoon that much. When I got them, I couldnt stop watching. amazing!!! I admired how they could really transform the real mr. bean in cartoons, his mimics, his way of moving around, or driving around... the stories are hilarious, not too long, and cool. not only for kids, but for adults too. have a nice good laugh
Two boys' review: Funny cartoons that are family-friendly July 20, 2008
Jared Castle (Roseburg, Oregon United States)
We have two boys, a 5-year old and a 4-year old. They love these DVDs.
I like them because the absence of dialogue forces our children to figure out the storyline. I also like the fact that the humor is family-friendly and that I don't have to suffer through an hour of "I wants" after a Saturday morning cartoon fest chock full of commercials.
If you have young children, this is a great buy. The individual stories run about 5-8 minutes each, so you can moderate how much they watch without having to commit to a 90-minute Disney movie.
Enjoyable in it's Own Right February 27, 2008
T. Thompson (Wales, ME)
My wife and I bought these animated videos for our nephew, a four year old. He has enjoyed watching the live action series with his mom and often compares Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) to me... I guess our shared dark complexions and silly demeanor's led him to lump us together.
We're pleased that we did buy this set for him. Over the holidays my nephew and I got to watch several of the episodes together. We laughed as Mr. Bean carried out errands for his mean old landlady, cleaned house, and also did some cat sitting for a silly/scary ill tempered beast.
There were several laugh out loud moments for both of us. The cartoons are quick and humorous. They keep the flavor of the original series but take on the constant fun of any bright cartoon world.
Enjoy these cartoons for what they are. They are not the original series in any way shape or form. But they are definitely worth watching.
Mr. Bean is such a funny actor July 9, 2006
Shainoor Tejani
To be honest I wasn't sure if I would like seeing him in the form of a cartoon, just cause I was so used to watching his other shows, but he's a really funny guy. I would recommend it, although it would have been nicer if they had included more episodes, cause I felt that it was a little short for the amount I paid.
All hail KING BEAN! May 9, 2004

I , my son, and my wife have viewed the 4 volumes currently on the market.
We LOVE them all. The simple joys that Bean brings to his live action character translate very well into this nicely done, and artfully drawn, cartoon series. Perfectly enjoyable.
