▲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.

* [[Long List]]: The rules of Fun World.

* [[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.
