Richard Purdum Productions was a British animation studio founded by animator Richard Purdum. The studio is best known for co-producing the first season of Mr. Bean: The Animated Series. The only episode that they domestically animated is the pilot "In the Wild", since all of the other segments were outsourced to Varga Studio in Budapest. As the studio has no credits to its name since 2003, it doesn't appear to be in operation anymore.
