Bebe's Kids

NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic, I remember it so you don't have to. And perhaps some of you remember my video game review of "Bébé's Kids."

(cut to footage from the review, with the Critic destroying the cartridge.)

NC: I didn't like it, so I guess the best way to torture me some more is to show me the original film that it was based off of.

(poster of a movie called "Remains of the Day" pops up.)

NC: No. No, but good guess. Surprisingly it's under the exact same title, simply known as "Bébé's Kids."

(short clip of the film's intro is played.)

NC: From what I understand, "Bébé's Kids" was the first animated movie to feature an entire African-American cast. And it would be seventeen years before they figured out how to do it right (referring to the 2009 Disney animated film "The Princess and the Frog"). But you can't expect perfection the first time around. How about just... competence? ... Yeah, we-- we don't really get that either. What do we get? Well, sit back before I beat the black off of ya-- it's a line from the movie! (beat, then small flourish) This is "Bébé's Kids." (voiceover) So the film is based off the stand-up of the late Robin Harris, so it starts off by showing us a bit of his act. (cut to the film, showing Harris performing the sketch.)

Robin Harris: "Whose kids are those?" Those're Bébé's kids. "Tell me, are those your kids?" I said, "Nah; no way, those aren't my kids. Them Bébé's Kids."

NC: (voiceover) Why is it I get the feeling he'd act the same way about the movie being released?

(cut to NC in his chair)
NC: (in a different voice) "Did you make this movie!?" (different voice) "No no, no no man. No, no. That was Bébé's kids." (normal voice, voiceover, with footage from the movie going along with NC's words.) So we see Harris as his animated self, telling the story about how he got into so much trouble, to a blind bartender. (beat) Huh. Not to be mean, but isn't that like giving the job of a DJ to a deaf person?

Robin Harris (from here on out, the animated Harris): (grabs the bartender's collar and pulls him back) I knew she was trouble. I shoulda known it when I met her; it was at a funeral!

(fade to flashback)
