| Bébé's Kids | comment |
Based on a comedy sketch made popular by the late stand-up comic Robin Harris, Bébé's Kids was the first animated film to feature an all-black cast.The comedy follows an animated Robin Harris (voiced by Faizon Love) taking his new girlfriend Jamika (voiced by Vanessa Bell Calloway) and her son Leon (voiced by Wayne Collins Jr) to an Amusement Park called Fun World. This would be all well and good, but when Jamika is asked by her friend Bébé to watch her kids for the day, he's forced to take along Bébé's Kids, who are nothing short of (and quite a bit beyond) obnoxious brats who basically wreak havoc through the whole park. Hilarity Ensues.Theatrically released in 1992 by Paramount Pictures, the film was a dissapointment at the box office. Despite this, it developed a Cult Classic status over time. However, it also spawned a SNES game so bad Nintendo Power rated it the worst game they've ever reviewed.Many of the animators went on to work on The Proud Family alongside Bébé director/Proud series creator Bruce W. Smith, who also proceeded to animate the villain for the second animated feature to have an all-black cast, The Princess and the Frog. Reginald Hudlin, who executive produced the movie with his brother, would go on to work on an early pilot for The Boondocks. | |

Disappeared Dad | |
| Bébé's Kids / int_28cd01ca | comment |
Disappeared Dad: No mention is made whether or not Bébé's living as a single parent, widowed or divorced. A throwaway line by Jamika toward the end of the film has her stating that they SHOT their father when he tried to leave. It's not said if he survived or what but, either way, he's not there. There's a reason the kids are so hostile. No Dad, and Bébé a nasty piece of work. Jamika is the single mother of Leon. Earlier in the film, it is stated that she and Leon's father are divorced. | |

Bully Turned Buddy | |
| Bébé's Kids / int_290fb089 | comment |
Bully Turned Buddy: When Khali and Leon are on their way to FUN WORLD, Khalil is clearly abusing and bullying Leon physically and verbally. The bullying continues through their stay at Fun World. The transition from Bully to Buddy comes when Leon bails Khalil out during the court trial involving Lincoln and Nixon. Afterwards, Leon and Khalil gradually become steadfast friends with Khalil even putting Leon in a playful headlock in the parking lot by the time they are leaving the park. This can also be considered a Bookends Trope. Leon and Khalil have a tense and unfriendly trip to FUN WORLD, but they are cheerfully jumping, chanting and jumping in the backseat as they are leaving FUN WORLD. | |

The Dreaded | |
| Bébé's Kids / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: A stranger who sees Bébé's Kids in Vegas starts a panic when he sees them, and they're 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 Robin over for speeding, but upon seeing Bébé's Kids, he speeds off in terror, leaving Robin and Jamika wide-eyed.note Sadly Truth in Television, in that there are still predominantly black neighborhoods that cops will refuse to serve in (the Public Enemy song "911 Is a Joke" is about this). Here it's more likely just a joke. | |

| Bébé's Kids / int_89434320 | comment |
Protagonist-Centered Morality: Actually varies from scene to scene, usually encouraging viewers to side with or against the Kids depending on whether or not Robin is onscreen — and even then, viewers are often encouraged to side with the Kids whenever it would be funnier. | |

Parental Neglect | |
| Bébé's Kids / int_a54534a0 | comment |
Parental Neglect: Bébé. From what we do know about her, she's this trope since her kids hardly spend time with her and Leon points out that they hardly ever hang out with her, who basically threaten him for bringing it up. It doesn't help that Bébé herself isn't seen in the film since she went downtown, leaving Jamika to look after the kids for the day. What really nails it, at the end, Robin sees that their mother still isn't home and that they don't have anything in their fridge (with a note on it, asking Jamika to feed them) | |

Kahill kicking a bully in the nuts for stealing his hat. Pee-Wee driving around on his Big Wheel towards the supermarket to get a bottle of milk, causing a car to crash and run over someone's foot in the process. | |

Aerith and Bob: Practically everywhere. While there's characters named Robin and Leon, you also have names like Jamika and LaShawn. This trope is discussed by Kahlil and LaShawn when they look for license plates with their names: This also applies to when they're hanging out with the other kids of Fun World, dissatisfied with their boring names like "Winthrop" and "Richie" and giving them "ghetto names". | |

Toy Ship: Invoked. Kahlil and Pee-Wee get a cheap laugh when they trip LaShawn into an Accidental Kiss with Leon — quite likely the shy boy's Sacred First Kiss. The laugh gets genuinely sweet for a second because both of them get Post-Kiss Catatonia. Which is then escalated when LaShawn goes textbook Type A Tsundere; she storms off in a tiff and returns swinging the mallet from a high-striker game they tried earlier. She's hitting a lot harder now. | |

He had stacked literally hundreds of dishes and glasses into a massive single stack tower by the time Robin found him. On being interrupted, the whole pile fell over and Robin raced to catch and then put away every single dish and glass before catching Pee-Wee himself. Then as he was walking out one last dish he missed hit the floor. Robin ran for it. | |
