In this animated depiction of a calamitous first date, Robin Harris (Faizon Love) hits it off with the gorgeous Jamika (Vanessa Bell Calloway), whom he meets at her boss' funeral. On the ride back, Harris is introduced to her well-behaved son (Wayne Collins), and asked if he wants to go with them to the amusement park the next day. Harris accepts, and arrives to find three more children joining them. Jamika is watching her friend Bebe's kids -- which is the beginning of Harris' problems.

Blended with broad sight gags is a pointed message about the resentment of latchkey kids who, echoing Aretha Franklin, proclaim that they don't get any "R-E-S-P-E-C-T."

Packed to the gills with black comedic talent (legends like Myra J., Nell Carter, John Witherspoon, George Wallace, Reynaldo Rey and Chino Williams) and capable of inspiring political action...

The hip, and hiphop, Bebe's Kids is circuslike at times, but it's a dubious family picture and not really an unalloyed delight for adults either.

Rough around the edges and careless with plot, but Bebe's Kids maintains personality throughout, doing justice to the memory of Harris and his most unusual stand-up creation.

Rated: B-

The comedy in this is so good, a lot funnier as an adult, but still funny for the whole family, always a classic!

Great funny movie with yes some nostalgia in it for people who grew up with it yet it has cult classic written all over it and believe it or not ahead of its time. Some who dont like or seem to go "Meh" might not get some of the jokes like where the kids cant find their name on Lience plates even though the female character knew fours kids like hers which predates the "A A Ron" joke. Some wont like or understand more urban or black jokes and the Hip Hop element was back than and even now may cause some eye rolling yet this was just before Nickelodeon shows like "All That" or Keenan And Kell which had some of this same elements tha Black and Hispanic grew up on or understood. Really is a good movie and some jokes are old fashioned like" I'm not fat I'm pleasantly plump" is as old as it is yet this movie is old. Not a classic with all the Disney Sing Along Movies(which if Twitter existed fans would say theirs too many of those like fans who complain about Superhero Movies). Enjoy and have fun.

Es una película muy interesante y bizarra; la trama es decente, la animación es buena y la banda sonora es pasable; tiene algunos momentos divertidos; es una de las películas menos conocidas de Hyperion Animation.
