4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful journey down memory lane, 14 Dec 2004

By	N. D. Maidment "butchmaidment" - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Now in my mid-20s, my enduring fondness for the Mr Men characters that I so loved as a boy made this an essential purchase and even if the quality of the animation is crude by modern standards, the wonderful, ageless stories continue to delight.
All 28 episodes of the original TV series are here, featuring the stories of many of the best-loved characters, most notably Messrs Happy, Bump, Forgetful, Greedy, Sneeze, Snow, Nosey and Tickle, but each story stands up delightfully in its own right.
Arthur Lowe (aka Captain Maiwairing from Dad's Army) acts as narrator and it's hard to imagine anyone else in the world doing a better job. Whether voicing the words of the characters themselves, or just progressing the stories, he brings warmth and humour to each story.
As I mentioned before, the animation is far from spectacular, but with stories this good it doesn't matter a jot. It would have been nice to see all of Hargreaves' classic book characters included (the likes of Messrs Busy, Slow, Rush and several more are absent) and occasionally the sound quality, on my DVD at least, was less than perfect, but this is still a very small price to pay for such enjoyable ditties.
Even if your children are unfamiliar with the Mr Men, these stories should still delight them. One of the best tenners you can spend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr Men DVD review, 17 Feb 2004

By	"andy20047" - See all my reviews

I first saw these in 1974 on a black & white telly and loved them as a kid. They are even better in colour!

You can watch all the episodes one after another or pick your favourites from the menu. This is probably the best kids TV series ever made and at a tenner even Mr Mean probably considers it a bargain!

Kids will watch it over and over and over again...so you may want to buy it on VHS and hope the tape wears out before you go insane.

Don't worry about the sound quality I found it ok.

So go on buy it for the kids (allegedly) and enjoy it yourself. You'd have to be Mr Silly not to!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheer Brilliance., 12 Sep 2006

By	Mr. J. G. Willetts - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ahhh the good old days. I remember this from when I was a youngster, so consequently bought it as a Christmas present for my 4 y/o daughter last year. She still watches it and that was nearly a year ago.

Well worth every penny.
