Just as good as the show!

"Being a fan of the Mr. Bean britcom I got this for Christmas. I was really impressed at how well they were done. They got down his mannerisms, and he talks just like in the show (mostly noises and little words here and there). There's the mean old landlady downstairs with her mean old one eyed cat. And as usual, Mr. Bean and Teddy are always getting into trouble. My favorite episodes are his day of Spring Cleaning and him going on a Treasure Hunt. If you like watching Mr. Bean you will love these. I'm glad I got them, they are a great addition to the show. Lastly, watching him dance as the credits roll by is a kick too!"

"Sorry, the animated version of Mr. Bean just doesn't work.I'll give this series two things in its favor. One is that if you're comparing it to many TV cartoons, it's not too bad - it's competently done, unlike most cartoons on TV today, which are disasters. The other is that, being a cartoon, it avoids the sometimes-risque humor of the real Mr. Bean shows.But beyond that there's nothing much here. Even my kids just sat and watched without laughing - and after a couple of episodes voted to skip the rest. We're all big Mr. Bean fans, and this just did not fly."
All hail KING BEAN!

"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."
Enjoyable in it's Own Right

"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."
