I did when I was little. We rented it for a sleepover at my friends house (both white). I don't recall it being that great or memorable (mostly because I don't remember much of it), but I do remember questioning why the one kid needed to grab his crotch in order to sing.
What does that have to do with it being older than the Proud Family?

...It came out in 1992.
Proud Family came out in 2001.
Yeah, it basically looks like a Proud Family knock-off, complete with tv quality animation.
it might look like a knock-off of Proud Family, but that's just because you're more familiar with Proud Family. it's not a knock-off at all, since Proud Family came out 9 years later, and was created by the same people.

Same company who produced pic related.

Which is why you should have lead with that. Obviously time only moves forward.
Fun fact! Both “Bébé's Kids” and “The Proud Family” were made by Bruce W. Smith and most of the production team (including the aforementioned black guy) who worked on the former animated movie will be migrated to the latter Disney cartoon nine years later.
Of course, this is due to both aforementioned works was co-produced by Hyperion Pictures respectively.
We did. We pretty much watched anything WITH black people in it in the 90s; regardless of how much it stunk. My dad rented it because he honestly didn't know who they were going to spin 1 single joke into a feature length movie. The stand-up set you see at the beginning of the movie is literally 60% of all of his Bebe's Kid material.
White people love shuck and jiving ethnics. It's why Boondocks got so popular, and why Chapelle had a mental breakdown when he realized why most of his audience was white.
He quit, ironically enough, because it started bothering him that saying slurs on tv as a joke was making white people more comfortable saying them. Something along the lines of "these sketches are dangerous in the wrong hands". Which I guess he doesn't give a shit about now, because his modern jokes aren't going to get people who look like him harassed or joked on.
Dave Chapelle got tired of the racists he was working with and the money they were stealing from him. You'd need to be an idiot to not know this by now.
There's no clear timeline and he's still candid on what exactly happened, generally just saying he burned out and felt people were laughing for the wrong reasons.
Another big factor is that his dad died a few years before the show started and he was so busy he felt he didn't properly mourn in favor of his career, which he was finding superficial.
I saw it once when I was in high school because I had a black teacher in one of my classes. On days where there we finished the curriculum early, he would put on movies with black characters. Every movie we watched was about blacks & black culture. One day, we saw Bebe's Kids & I didn't care much for it. I think this is where I developed my inner hatred for black & black culture.

yeeeeeeea it looks cheap.

Video rental stores still existed after 2001, my guy

An actual good movie, though in retrospect not appropriate for children.
Also this.
Anon it's made by the same guy
I watched a white man watch and review the movie and another white man play and review the game
ah yes, the other crossover between the white men
I watched it for the two minutes the fat black chick showed up in
I think it was on a local station when I was a kid. I didn't really like it because I got the impression it was made for adults
it's animation
Was this released outside the US?
I watched when I was a kid in Bolivia. It had the dub from mexico IIRC. So it was released at least in latinoamerica.
>check doblaje wiki
Wait, this had a Mexican AND an Argentinian dub?
Its a movie about black people, why are you so surprised it has an argentinian dub?
Did black people?

It wasn’t a mental breakdown. He quit and Comedy Central spread fake rumors to discredit him out of revenge.

What’s the story and timeline of this?
There's no clear timeline and he's still candid on what exactly happened, generally just saying he burned out and felt people were laughing for the wrong reasons.

no, but i watched this
That's for the best...
And also an old ass review. God, remember when he had hair?
Doug finna beat some black dicky
It was nostalgic for 90s trash animation on urban culture. It is dry and boring now, but I like it's anti corporate message.
It was a decent movie held back by a bad budget. I feel like people would have liked it more if the animation was better, like cats Don’t Dance.
It's animation
No, was too busy watching The Proud Family
>No VIbeS

Well what the frick can we bring then?
