The series was unmitigated genius, and personally I rather enjoyed the film. The cartoon wasn't so hot though mainly because of the lack of actual physical presence from the entertainingly bendy Mr Atkinson himself. I'm looking forward to this new film, though I'm reserved over if he can still pull of the same calibre of primarily physical comedy in his later years. If he can however, (and I think he may just) I'll be mightily impressed.
