"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.
score 3/10
