I grew up watching, reading and being read the original Mr Men show. With two little ones now, I wanted to share the experience with them. They are utterly entranced by the stories and original artwork and we listen to the sublime Arthur Lowe Audiobooks in the car. This reimagining takes all the nuances and subtle humour and completely trashes it. I believe it to be an American although we get the British dubbed version. It's brash, dim witted, in your face and completely infantile. Misses the point completely and I'm glad they stopped making it. Truly awful. Three stars as the kids seem to be distracted by the fast action, but they miss out on the charm.
