Story

Mr. Bounce in the Mr. Men books

Mr. Bounce was a rubber ball and he couldn't keep himself off the ground. One day, he has had enough with the bouncing, and visits Dr. Makeyouwell to receive a pair of heavy shoes. Now, he doesn't bounce as much anymore.

The Mr. Men Show

Mr. Bounce in the Mr. Men Show

In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, he looks the same except he is bigger and his hat has a light pink stripe on it and floats. He has an Indian accent in the US version and a Belfast accent in the UK version. His bouncing about causes chaos for the other Mr. Men and Little Misses in Dillydale, especially when he's out in public. In the UK and US Versions, he is voiced by Sam Gold and Simon Greenall. He is first seen in Physical.

• He sang a song called "The Boogies got me" in the episode, Music, but it got deleted in the UK because this song wasn't very popular.
