About four years when I was twelve, I loved this series. I used to run all the way home to see the cartoon at about six o'clock in the evening to watch it. This series stills aires on Sunday Morning television for Children but since I've seen the original Mr. Bean at the cinema I now find this inferior. First off, this lacks an resemblance: it doesn't contain the wit and the humour the live action series has and the jokes are a bit too childish compared to the live-action series. Secondly, bad animation: the animation is lazily drawn and lacks the image of Rowan Atkinson. I've never seen Rowan with two big, blotty eyebrows before. And finally, the recruiting characters: a lot of these characters in the cartoon didn't even appear or were even invented in the live action series like the old woman landlord and her cat. These characters has just come out of nowhere and always offers no real depth to the series. This will keep kids happy but fans of Bean are better of sticking to the live action series as this doesn't really have a lot of to do with the original, only that Rowan Atkinson is doing the voice of his character Bean.
