TheLittleSongbird I do like Pepe LePew and his cartoons. Admittedly more now than 10 years old where the humour did go over my head. Heaven Scent is not as good as Scent-imental Romeo, For Scent-imental Reasons, Touche and Go and The Cat's Bah, but apart from the too abrupt ending it is very good. The story is not that much different either than what we've seen before, basically the whole series is a sort of one-joke formula. People will either be troubled by that or are used to it by now, I'm leering towards the latter actually but I have seen better from Looney Tunes. On the plus side, and there is much to like in Heaven Scent, the animation is still the colourful and elegant style that we are familiar with(if more in the backgrounds and colours than the secondary character designs), and the music has a very charming romantic lilt that is also very witty. The gags are very amusing, though much of the humour is mostly verbal and Pepe utters some of the sharpest and funniest lines of any of the cartoons with him starring. I always admired how risqué the humour was with the Pepe cartoons, and this is also the case here. Pepe is great value, and voiced superbly as ever by Mel Blanc, who rarely if ever put a foot wrong. All in all, very good if not one of the best. 8/10 Bethany Cox

slymusic Directed by Chuck Jones, "Heaven Scent" is a good but not hilarious Warner Brothers cartoon starring the voice of Mel Blanc as our favorite French skunk: Pepe Le Pew. The plot of this cartoon is the same as in practically any other Pepe cartoon: boy tries to get girl, girl wants to be a mile away from boy.Any scenes in this film that make me laugh? There's the sign written in phony French, warning anyone to not touch the flagpole as it contains wet paint. The cat, disguised as a skunk, emits a smug expression and an eye blink after all the dogs run and hide, then a fisherman expresses himself (again in phony French) before escaping from the cat/skunk. Upon Pepe's first appearance, he sings "Strolling through the Park One Day", then as he catches up with his reluctant partner, he continues singing while smooching in rhythm."Heaven Scent" is okay, but my major disappointment with it is that the ending leaves a dangling thread that keeps me wanting more. Oh, well. We can't have everything, can we?

Lee Eisenberg OK, so maybe every Pepe Le Pew cartoon has pretty much the same plot: female cat gets her back painted white, Pepe comes along and takes her for a belle femme skunk, and the attempted romance begins. For that matter, pretty much every cartoon starring each of the directors' own characters (Pepe Le Pew and Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote for Chuck Jones, Yosemite Sam and Sylvester/Tweety for Friz Freleng, Foghorn Leghorn and Tasmanian Devil for Robert McKimson; Freleng and McKimson alternated between the Speedy Gonzales cartoons). But still, you gotta admire Pepe's unyielding stamina in his quest for finding true love. Clearly, two of Jones's characters (Pepe and Wile E.) continue aiming for their goals despite the obvious fact that the goals look unattainable. True, Pepe is mostly a composite of every French stereotype - aggressive with relationships and not smelling too pleasant - but I still consider his cartoons, including this one, quite entertaining. C'est l'amour! PS: I thought that I saw a sign saying "Edouard Selzer", which would have been an in-joke referring to producer Eddie Selzer.

bob the moo A cat goes out to try and buy some nice perfume for herself, but finds herself confronted by dog after dog. She flees into a nest but finds herself with a streaked of white paint on her back, attracting the attention of Pepe Le Pew.Pepe Le Pew cartoons are a strange beast. They are nearly all the same joke based around the same characters and it must be hard to keep them feeling fresh. To show that, this film is rather stale and lacks anything that made it stick out in my mind or made me laugh. The plot is the usual `cat with white paint' routine and it sticks to the formula from then on. That's not to say it isn't amusing - it is if you are happy just to accept the same cartoon replayed, but it is not fresh or sparky.Pepe is an OK character but very much a one joke one. He has a few good lines here. The cat is the usual ratty looking little puss but yet still manages to have no distinguishable character of her own!The ending is sudden and very poor but overall the short is passable and quite amusing without being laugh out loud funny. Fans of Pepe will enjoy it but it is no different from any other of his cartoons.
