Bebe's Kids

source: Bebe's Kids

I found it hilarious , but I have an open mind . You need one of course, you can't watch this movie expecting it to be more than it really is. Which is a comedian explaining how his date with this girl went. What's there not to talk about it was down right funny !!! :D I'm sure if all of you had a chance to illustrate your worst date that had a couple of laughs , you would. It's not meant do to anything else but tell you the story of robin Harris' date , and what a disaster it turned out to be. But in the end , kids are kids. No matter how rambunctious they are , we were all kids and did or at least wanted to do the same destruction. ' cuz were Bebe's Kids !! We don't die ! We multiply !!

"Bebe's Kids" rocks!!! I like the line when the kids say "WE DON'T DIE! WE MULTIPLY!" The comedian Robin Harris died before this movie came out, he was a great comedian! "Bebe's Kids" was supposed to be made as a live-action film which he was supposed to star in it. There are dozen parts I like in that cartoon when the four baddies create trouble in a souvenir shop, the kids gather bunch of kids from the part My favorite was they created a pirate ship and have the other kids' parents to jump out of the deck,THAT WAS COOL! My favorite character was PeeWee,the deep-voiced baby whose diaper has never been changed. This movie is half musical also. I would recommend this movie if you want to see out-of-control kids terrorizing adults and want to have fun, "Bebe's Kids" is the movie! If Robin Harris was still alive,he would like this movie.

"Bebe's Kids" demonstrates how hard it really is to make an animated feature; I don't just mean in terms of drawing, etc, but in terms of concept. The Hudlin brothers had originally planned to do a live-action movie about the comedian Robin Harris's characters of Bebe's kids, but after his death they decided to go the animated route - but from the finished result you wonder why they even bothered. Robin meets the lovely Jamika (at a funeral!) and makes a date with her and her son for the weekend, but finds the deal involves bringing along her friend's children - Bebe herself never appears - and the three kids are a lot rougher than Jamika's kid. In addition to having to go with them all to the extortionately-priced amusement park where most of the movie takes place, Robin also has to cope with his ex-wife and her friend (who's convinced that they'll get back together), and it must be said that the parts of the movie involving him are much better than when it involves the title characters. Not only are Bebe's kids (in addition to lacking any personality) much less sympathetic and much less funny than Robin, but they have to shoulder the blame for the movie self-destructing when they break into a secret underground section of the park; cue battles against robots and messages delivered with all the subtlety of a Mack truck. The movie wants to appeal to both adults and children, but never comes off as anything - you can tell the Hudlins weren't too experienced with animation, and they've stayed away from it since then. Thank heaven.

African-American comedian Robin Harris had a comedy routine about crazed youngsters only known as "Bebe's Kids". In spite of his death his idea developed into this ho-hum animated feature. Harris (in cartoon form and voiced by another actor) meets a beautiful woman at a mutual friend's funeral. Immediately they start to click, but trouble looms when the woman is supposed to watch a friend's children (the titled characters). Thus the group goes to a theme park and all hell breaks loose as the youngsters seem to be little more than hoods that unwittingly try to control everything everywhere they go. Starts out pretty well, but wears out its welcome as it progresses. The novelty disappears pretty quick and we are left with a silly and tiring cartoon. 2.5 out of 5 stars.

This is the first animated feature aimed at black audiences, and it actually works pretty well. The film is based loosely on a bit by comic Robin Harris (who can be seen in his routine in the beginning credits) where he looks back on a day where he goes on a date with a woman, and tagging along are her son and three brats that are her friend's kids. They go to a amusement park, and then the fun starts (coincidentally, the park is called Funworld). Filled with good humor, bright animation, and the intro (for me anyway) of the mama insults (ie- Your momma's so dumb, she heard it was chili outside, she went and got a bowl). Featuring Faizon Love as the voice of Robin Harris (Harris died before the movie was to be made) and Tone Loc as Pee-Wee. A-

Because so many children's animated films are actually only thinly disguised morality lessons and/or merchandising gimmicks, it's refreshing to find an acerbic, often tasteless cartoon feature willing to promote a little healthy skepticism instead. The basic premise, suggested by what had been a familiar routine by the late stand-up comedian Robin Harris, might resemble typical Saturday morning TV fodder: the gruff but (almost) lovable Harris (a kindred spirit to W.C. Fields) is conned into chaperoning a trio of pint-sized troublemakers to Fun World, a local amusement park. But underneath the rap soundtrack padding and heartfelt, homeopathic preaching about the virtues of self-esteem is a good deal of subversive, post-Rodney King cynicism. Fun World itself is analogous to White America in the 1990s, complete with secret police, remote surveillance, and a robot Richard Nixon (sounding not unlike Jimmy Stewart). The film was originally planned as a live-action comedy, but it probably works better as animation, where the cartoon exaggeration can be an advantage. Favorite character: little Baby Pee-Wee, with a voice "like a hundred packs of cigarettes" and a constant cloud of flies around his sagging diaper.

Bebe's kids is truly an imaginatively funny film. It made me laugh while having surprisingly interesting and funny characters. The movie didn't try to win our attention, it just won it on its own. Very fun film. I especially love the jive-talking in the women's restroom. I almost died laughing.

BEBE'S KIDS is one of the worst animated films I've ever seen. OK, let's go with the plot: The movie starts out in a funeral. Robin and his sweetheart date to go to a place called "Fun World" (spoof of Disneyland). Using Bebe's Kids (the title of the movie), these children wanna go cause mischief in the theme park and intentionally break the rules on purpose. They steal merchandise from a store and they even destroy the park by roaming around a pirate ship (spoof of Peter Pan) killing people. Robin decides to then take these bad-ass kids home. Now the plot, I'm sure it is something referred to popular shows like Rugrats, Bratz, South Park etc., but I also heard it's a Simpson-like, Boondocks (2005) cartoon. These shows were absolutely successful, but Bebe's Kids is on the list of the most nostalgic cartoons to ever hit television. The plot didn't go as great as I expected and I mean, the flow had flaws too. The animation, much like The Proud Family I'm sorry to admit it's sloppy and unoriginal. The animation is SO horrible it's like a four-year-old made it and it blinded my godforsaken eyes!!! The music is like a two-year-old written it. It's so darn bad it hurts the ears!!! This script was busted and the visuals were terrible. Please avoid this... if you want to watch something about children breaking the rules, wreaking havoc, causing mischief etc. I recommend: RUGRATS, SIMSPONS, SOUTH PARK, THE BOONDOCKS, MONSTERS, INC. Sorry, I can't exaggerate this film, you will have to look at my list: Mischievous Children. Some of the cartoons in there are SO much better than BEBE'S KIDS and they also have bad-ass children too.

"Bébé's Kids" was a favorite insult of ours back in the early 90's. Yes, we would say that regarding any kids we saw acting bad. It was probably Robin Harris's best comedic creation. So good in fact it got him this movie even if it was posthumously. I may have liked the term "Bébé's Kids" but I wasn't about to spend money to see an animated movie about the concept. That turned out to be a wise decision. This movie was awful. "Bébé's Kids" is one of those movies that can't stand the test of time. I mean, back in 1992 I may have halfway liked it when the material was fresh and relevant. Here in 2018 when all of the jokes in the movie are old and tired and the rapping is just as weak the movie is just a total dud. I give Faizon Love a lot of credit for playing the voice of Robin Harris, he did an excellent job but Harris was never that funny to me. His slow, somewhat slurred, raspy delivery didn't appeal to me. He looked as though he were perpetually high with his sleepy yellow eyes but he would always have a line or two that was good such as, "test tube baby" and "Bébé's Kids". Well, they were both used in this movie along with some "Yo' mama" jokes. Back then who knew that "yo' mama" jokes wouldn't stand the test of time? We came up with so many that I guess we left no room for more to be created. "Bébé's Kids" the term and the movie went the way of the "Yo' mama" jokes. Both were a passing fad that had died out before the decade's end. I wanted to watch this movie just to see what I may have missed from that bygone era and it turns out I didn't miss anything at all. The classic line--we could even say credo--of Bébé's Kids' was, "We don't die, we multiply." It looks like even they couldn't escape death.
