Kind of pointless to make this, isnt it?


I mean, one of the major appeals of the original show was that the stuff he did was so cartoony, yet it was live action.



We can't stop here! This is Bat-country!

I agree a little.

While this show is very funny and stays true to the Bean character, almost all of the episodes would have been better as a live action show. And I'd rather see them bring back the live action Mr. Bean show then a cartoon.

However, that being said, I do enjoy the cartoon series and own all the dvds. And it's better to have a cartoon Bean than no Bean at all.

I guess it was a way to introduce Mr. Bean to whole your generation and demographic- kids. I knew some kids I taught who saw Mr. Bean on Sunday mornings when the PBS station showed it here with Clifford and Arthur. They did show it at on Friday nights ,but reaired it on Sundays.

I agree. I watched this the other day and found none of the humor from the original series apparent in it. Dull.

I find just the idea of a cartoon based on mr Bean extremely poor. Why on earth would they do it? The reason mr Bean is funny is because Rown Atkinson is cool, if I want to watch it, it's because of him. I found this cartoon embarresing.
