NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic, I remember it so you don't have to. And perhaps some of you remember my 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 film it was based off of.

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

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

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

NC: From what I can tell, "Bébé's Kids" was the first animated movie to feature an all black 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. How about just... competence? ... Yeah, we-- we don't 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) Well, the film's based off the work 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: He said, "Whose kids are those?" "Them? Them's Bébé's kids." "Oh, are those your kids?" I said, "Nah; those're Bébé's Kids."

NC: (voiceover) Why do I get the feeling he'd act the same way towards the movie being made?

(cut to NC in his chair)
NC: (in a different voice) "Did you make this movie!?" (different voice) "No no, no no man. That was Bébé's kids."

(WIP)
