In this animated depiction of a calamitous first date, Robin Harris hits it off with the gorgeous Jamika, whom he meets at her boss' funeral. On the ride back, Harris is introduced to her well-behaved son, 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.

Simpsons-like cartoon earns its PG-13.

Honestly, incredibly poignant and interesting bit of historical trivia in the animation world. The plot does meander a little bit in the middle, but it’s got such an interesting personality.

Lets try this again.... Campy but not bad. Racy and a little racist and with boring and tired stereotypes, that are indicative of the 90's and low brown humor. Meh. Not terrible. Not great.

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