Bean is mistaken for an escaped convict and carted off to jail. Wanted Sun Sunday 10 Jul Animated antics. The graceful line illustrations are by Lisa Allen. Mr Bean is dogged by a young Japanese boy in the Science Museum.
This young novel has a lively cast of characters, some gentle humour and a moral. Only Lachie spots the danger, and he is brave enough to break character and save Areta from harm.Īll thus ends well, especially for Lachie and Roald Dahl fans. Then a sinister possibility threatens Areta, the girl who is playing Mrs Fox. On the night, the play goes well and Lachie acts the curmudgeonly Bean very well. It is clear to everyone in Lachie’s family that he really would rather be Mr Fox, but Lachie immerses himself in Bean’s personality, becoming scruffy and rough in his ways. ‘There’s nothing soppy to say in Mr Bean’s lines,’ says Lachie, ‘And I pick my nose.’ Sticking to his convictions, Lachie lets Chad have the role of Mr Fox, while he becomes Mr Bean, the repulsive fox-hating farmer. ‘You know I’m not saying stupid, soppy stuff,’ Lachie declares. After auditions, Lachie gets the role but his stubborn refusal to say any of Mr Fox’s romantic lines to Mrs Fox leads to difficulty.
His older brother, Frank, helps Lachie practise for the role, and also creates a handsome tail made from a bottlebrush plant. ‘I’m the best choice because it’s my favourite story,’ Lachie declares. To celebrate, Lachie’s class is going to perform Fantastic Mr Fox as a play and Lachie is determined to have the role of Mr Fox. If he were still alive Roald Dahl would have been 100 on September 13th 2016, while his Fantastic Mr Fox turned fifty years old in 2020.
