Who composed the musical score for the 1997 film Bean?

Howard Goodall composed the musical score for the 1997 film Bean.

Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie brought Rowan Atkinson’s television character to a feature-film story involving an American art gallery. Goodall wrote the film’s score, supporting the broad physical comedy and the story’s larger travel-and-disaster structure.

The composer is sometimes confused with the performers of the film’s songs or with composers associated with other Rowan Atkinson projects. A film score refers to the original instrumental music written to accompany scenes; it is distinct from dialogue, sound effects and licensed songs.

Goodall is an English composer known for work across television, theatre and film. His television credits include music for Blackadder, a series closely associated with Atkinson before Mr. Bean. That connection makes him a particularly relevant figure in Atkinson’s comedy career, although the two productions have different musical identities.
