Mr. Bean is a British animated television series based on the British comedy Mr. Bean.
The character of Mr. Bean was revived in this animated series, which again featured little actual dialogue, with most being either little soundbites or mumbling. Some people have questioned the point of an animated Mr. Bean - although he is now capable of far stranger adventures (and facial expressions), they lack the interest generated when it was an actual person doing it. Meanwhile, an animated character is much more endearing to younger children than an actor. The series is notable, however, for following up on the "alien" origin theory for the character, with its final episode revealing a race of identical Beans who come to retrieve their lost friend, only to have him opt to stay on Earth with his girlfriend.
Rowan Atkinson provides the voice for Bean, and all of the animated Bean actions are taken from Atkinson himself. Other characters' voices are provided by Jon Glover, Rupert Degas, Gary Martin and Lorelei King
