Product Description
Rowan Atkinson (Johnny English, Blackadder) stars as the iconic Mr. Bean, who never fails to leave a trail of merry mayhem and side-splitting laughter in his wake. His exploits have earned MR. BEAN a slew of awards and an international cult following, and now every one of his live adventures is conveniently packed up in one tidy box.
Included in this collector s set are all 14 episodes of the landmark original series that introduced Mr. Bean to an adoring, if confused, world, as well as his two feature films Mr. Bean: The Movie and Mr. Bean s Holiday. And if that s not enough, a bonus helping of Mr. Bean: The Animated Series features him in the role he was drawn to play. It all adds up to the ultimate serving of Bean, so pull up a chair and dig right in.

"Mr. Bean: The Ultimate Collection" is a seven-disc box set featuring the antics of Rowan Atkinson's alter- ego, the long-legged, goofy-looking guy who manages to create comic mayhem wherever he goes. Mr. Bean, whom Atkinson describes as a child in a grown man's body, was created when Atkinson was a student at Oxford University. Borrowing from silent film techniques, Bean never speaks, relying instead on facial expressions, sight gags, and slapstick to milk laughs. Atkinson is Chaplinesque in the way he sets up gags, plants them, and then illustrates his mortification at how badly things have gone. We feel sorry for his sad-sack ineptness, but still manage to laugh at his constant penchant for getting into awkward, frequently embarrassing fixes. I was reminded of Buster Keaton and even Lucille Ball, two folks who knew how to incorporate and use props comically. Atkinson cites Jacques Tati's earlier character, Mr. Hulot, as another influence.
The box set contains all fourteen episodes of the original series and the two feature films, "Bean: The Movie" and "Mr. Bean's Holiday." In addition, the set contains the animated series "It's Not Easy Being Bean" and "Bean There, Done That."
Bonus features include deleted scenes, never-before-seen-on-TV sketches, the documentary "The Story of Bean," the 20-minute featurette "Making of the Animated Series, a music video, and French versions of the feature films.

I picked this up at Costco today for [...] and am perfectly happy with this set. I'm not a purist so even if there are missing scenes, I wouldn't remember. Not saying the episodes are cut, I haven't watched the whole set yet. I'm just happy to have the full Bean collection. It will surely give us hours of laughs!

If you have any of the following skip it
Mr. Bean - The Whole Bean (Complete Set) ( I didn't have this but disc 1-3 on The Ultimate Collection appear to be this judging by the menu in which Mr. bean is poping out of a can that has The Whole Bean writen on the bottom) disc 1-3
Mr. Bean The Animated Series, Vols. 1 & 2 (It's Not Easy Being Bean / Bean There Done That) disc 4-5
Bean: The Movie disc 6
Mr. Bean's Holiday (Widescreen Edition) disc 7
I gave it 4 stars because I love Mr. Bean and since I didn't have any of this because I skipped The Whole Bean because of it missing scenes ( but I guess I got it anyway )
Special Features are as follows
-Mr. Bean: Volume 1-3(only the volume 3 disc has special features)
The Story Of Mr. Bean-A Forty Minute Documentary Of Mr. Bean
Never-Before-Seen-On-TV Sketches:
*Bus Stop
*Library
Comic Relief Skits:
* Blind Date
* Torvill & Bean

and finally in response to the review and questions i have seen on here
hate to be the bearer of bad news so far it appears that it is the edited ver. even more so it looks to me as the set is a rehash the seven disc break down like this Mr. bean: vol 1,2,3 ( 3 discs ( thats the t.v. series ( looks to be the the whole bean because of the menus ),then you have bean: the movie( 1 disc ), Mr. bean's holiday( 1 disc ), then you have two disc from the animated series bean there, done that ( 1 disc ) and it's not easy being bean ( 1 disc ) so far I watched some of this the main missing scenes that people talked about from the whole bean being missing are m.i.a here too where he fights with the old lady over the chair in "do-it yourself" and where he guess the weight of the turkey in "merry Christmas"
***Edit to point to the act that is rehash ever more so is vol 1-3 on this set have the same error in the order of episodes as The Whole Bean i am 99.9% sure that it is the whole bean but since I have never seen hat set myself I am still 00.1% not sure
Are these the uncut versions ??? October 6, 2008
