YMMV / Mr. Bean: The Animated Series

• Awesome Art: While most agree that the live-action series is a lot more humorous, this series still has some hugely appealing designs, especially Bean himself, whose animation is a spot-on caricature of how Atkinson plays him, thanks to the generous amount of live reference he gave the animators. The animation is also quite smooth, even for a thick-line animated series.
• Awesome Music: The theme song of the cartoon, which is an upbeat piano tune, is just as associated with Mr. Bean as the more melancholy-sounding choir theme from the live-action series.
• Crosses the Line Twice: In the episode "Nurse!", Bean steals some grapes from the patient next to him. What brings it into this is that the patient seems to be dead.
• First Instalment Wins: The original 2002-2004 seasons tend to be the most popular, due to the more fluid hand-drawn animation and more closely following the live-action series' slapstick and visual gag focus with only sporadic dialogue.
• Heartwarming Moments: Mrs. Wicket throws a birthday party for Bean in "Birthday Party", considering how much of a Jerkass she usually is to him.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The episode "Egg And Bean" has a scene where Mr. Bean uses a makeshift catapult to launch a bird to get them to fly.
• Love to Hate: Mrs Wicket is very arrogant, rude and always prepared to take advantage of Mr Bean. Nevertheless most of the fans seems to like her.
• Ms. Fanservice: Roxy
• The Problem with Licensed Games: The video game for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii, and Microsoft Windows is poorly received.
• The Scrappy: The Mime from Mime Games for being an annoying street performer who won't leave Mr. Bean alone and even trespasses into his home. The character isn't too heinous for him to cross over into Love to Hate territory, he's just obnoxious and unfunny.
• Unintentional Period Piece: Being a British show, Queen Elizabeth II is heavily featured (and even appears physically in a few episodes), inevitably dating them back to her reign before her death in 2022.
