Wonderful North American spin on the Mr Men Series of characters by Roger Hargreaves is a treat for children and adults alike.
My 6 year old son loves the physically crazy ones- little miss daredevil,Mr Bounce and Little Miss Calamity.I love Mr Scatterbrain- a wonderfully funny character who fires off surreal comments and ramblings that are aimed firmly at the adult audience- he is a benign Homer Simpson if you like.Mr Pernickity is a hoot too with his accent sure to make you laugh(or maybe not)at the old fashioned un pc stereotyping of it.
Episodes include the very funny "Trains" and "Car Wash" and the sheer quality of the writing is to be admired.
Narrated by Simon Callow which is lovely in itself.

Our entire family has enjoyed watching this updated classic on the TV. As ardent fans of the originals, the grown-ups were very suspicious of these Johnny-come-lately's, since as a rule, remakes suffer in comparison with the originals.
Not so the 'Mr Men Show'. The humour in these cartoons in gentle (although it is guilty of reinforcing racial stereotypes) and multi-levelled, so both children and adults can enjoy them together (essential for good children's viewing these days). The slightly preachy moralising of the original books has gone and what's left is top quality family entertainment.
So why only two stars? Well frankly it's the fact that the DVD only contains five episodes. Perhaps I was a fool for pre-ordering; first release TV DVD's are normally a complete rip-off and frankly this isn't an exception. They are five good episodes but my son is rapidly going to want to know where the others are, which it now appears will mean buying at least another three DVD's.
So the TV show is great and well worth watching, but I'm sure it won't be all that long before the entire series is available for the same price as these five episodes and I would advise holding out until then.

Not to be played in N. America
The DVD did not work in the USA, due to a conversion issue. Although we adore the Mr. M. Show, we wish we did not incur an expense for something to be added to the trash.

Horrible remake
Why do Americans see the need to bastardise perfectly fine products? The original was gently charming and understated, but this is brash, charmless, unfunny and unlikeable. Read more
