▲Based on a comedy sketch made popular by the late stand-up comic Robin Harris, ''Bebe's Kids'' became the first animated movie to feature an all-black cast. It was released in 1992 and was directed by Bruce W. Smith, who would later create ''[[The Proud Family]]'' for Disney in 2001 (as well as work on another animated flick with a black star ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]'').
The film has an animated Robin Harris take his new girlfriend, Jameeka, and her son, Leon, to an amusement park named Fun World. This would've been all well and good, but when Jameeka is asked by her friend Bebe to watch her kids for today, he's forced to take Bebe's Kids along with them, who are nothing short of obnoxious brats and basically wreak havoc through the whole park. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* [[Accidental Kiss]]: Between LaShawn and Leon.
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: In the original comedy sketches, Bebe's Kids consisted of four children, this was cut down to three in the film. Also, they originally went to Disneyworld, but got changed to Fun World for legal reasons.
Line 39:
* [[Disney Acid Sequence]]: That tunnel of love scene.
* [[Free-Range Children]]: Throughout most of the film, Robin and Jameeka let the kids go off on their own while they try to spend some time together.
* [[The Fun in Funeral]]: The beginning of the film had Robin explain how he met Jameeka, at a funeral. Robin explains how, with the exception of the deceased's wife, most of the people were rather glad the guy was dead and some are playing dominoes.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Listen closely to the song playing on the ride. At one point, it states something similar to "If a hand down your pants is a resumption."
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: LaShawn.
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* [[Kangaroo Court]]: The kids find themselves in one with Kahlil on trial. Leon bails him out, though, by rapping about freedom.
* [[Long List]]: The rules of Fun World.
** Though cut down to "No Vibes, No Bevis, No Vibes..." in the video game. How come only [[Beavis and
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Bebe's Kids are so feared throughout the neighborhood, the police can't deal with them. This is noticeable on the drive home when a police officer tries to pull over Robin for speeding, but upon seeing Bebe's Kids, he drives away in fear.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Subverted in the case of Bebe's Kids. No mention is made whether or not Bebe's living as a single parent, widowed or divorced. It doesn't help that Bebe herself isn't seen in the film since she went downtown, leaving Jameeka to look after the kids for the day.
