Having absolutely LOVED the "original" Mr. Bean sketches, I decided to try the animated versions. I loved the original ones with Rowan Atkinson because it is simply British sit-com at its best! Atkinson's grasp of physical comedy is absolutely masterful. My three year old son loves the original sketches too... He is the only one at our house, though, who really "gets" the animated sketches. While my husband and I miss the acting of Atkinson and the "British comedy feel," our son is engaged by the faster-paced, animated aspect of the cartoon version. Expect the cartoon sketches to be quite a bit more off the wall (as physical comedy has its limitations especially in terms of set design), and less "Classic Bean." I will say that the animators do a decent job of capturing Bean, and of course Atkinson does the voiceovers... but if you're like me, you'll find it just isn't the same. If you have a child you may enjoy it more watching it as a family :-). If you are a die-hard Bean fan, I'd recommend trying a 2-disk set and then go for the whole set only if you find the animated comedy engaging.Read full review
I was hoping the animated series would be more like the original. I was disappointed, this series is more for children. More silly humor, and less clever humor. Still, it has some mild moments of humor for adults. Wish the would have made more of the live action 30 minute shows with the same cast and writers. But, over in Britain, they tend not to make very many of a particular show and then stop. Maybe it has something to do with unions or maybe they just don't want to work that much. There were only 14 of the original "Mr. Bean" shows. I have not seen the movie, but 90 minutes of Mr. Bean is probably too much at on time.

My kids love Mr Bean and compared to all the other sales this was one of the best deals and the videos are in perfect condition as my son is watching it now. Definitely would buy from again.

I love this show. It is fun and the best thing is that since there is no verbal contact 100% as Mr. Bean murmurs things everything can be understood from whatever country you are from.
Excellent product
