Mr. Bean: The Animated Series

“Mr. Bean” is an animated TV show produced by Varga Studio, inspired by the British live-action series of the same name. The animated series features familiar characters such as Mr. Bean, Irma Gobb, Teddy, and the enigmatic driver of the Reliant Supervan. New characters include Mrs. Wicket, Bean’s landlady, and her malicious cat, Scrapper.

The show maintains the original’s minimal dialogue, relying on sound bites, mumbling, and mild slapstick humor, with occasional suggestive content. Rowan Atkinson voices Mr. Bean and his animated actions are based on Atkinson’s own performances. Other characters are voiced by Jon Glover, Rupert Degas, Gary Martin, Sally Grace, and Lorelei King.

Although the series is officially titled “Mr. Bean,” some broadcasters add subtitles to differentiate it from the live-action version. For instance, Disney Channel Asia labels it “Mr. Bean – The Animated Series” and the live-action version as “Mr. Bean – Live Action Series.” In Germany, Super RTL airs it as “Mr. Bean – Die Cartoon-Serie.”
