Edgar Allan Pooh . . . and if she gets a straw, she'll drink his oil, too! Pepe Le Pew (or an ancestor of his living in 1880s Paris, France) is now a "unique" zoo animal. The descriptive adjective on his zoo enclosure signing may refer to the singularity of his offensive odor, or to the fact that the zoo's collection includes just the one "skunque." (Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies have never been places from which to obtain your spelling lessons.) Ms. Kitty, from Pepe's Oscar-winning outing (FOR SCENT-IMENTAL REASONS) paints HERSELF with skunk stripes ON PURPOSE near the beginning of SCENT-IMENTAL ROMEO after a zoo-keeper tells her that he only throws steaks to zoo animals. Ms. Kitty knows what a skunk looks like from her earlier encounter with Pepe, and assumes that he's kicked the bucket (due to his empty-looking paddock) when she attempts her ruse. But Pepe's just sleeping out-of-sight behind a tree, so Ms. Kitty can enjoy only two bites of his steak before he renews his unwanted (and now untimely) attentions. Miffed at this interruption to her luncheon, Ms. Kitty brains Pepe twice with clubs before the woozy stinker is returned--alone--to his exhibit area, muttering "C'Est Guerre" ("That's War").
TheLittleSongbird Featuring Pepe Le Pew and Penelope, this is a fun and cute little Looney Tunes cartoon. Pepe Le Pew is a character I do like, but I admit I prefer other Looney Tunes characters, namely Daffy. I also like Penelope, she is sweet. Both characters are put to good use here, in a cartoon that benefits from some nice detailed animation and a suitably romantic music score. Mel Blanc as always gives stellar voice characterisations particularly as Pepe Le Pew, the chases are entertaining in alternative to annoying and the gags are cute, funny and well timed. The pace may be a little too fast, but it is a nice, enjoyable and... cute little cartoon.9/10 Bethany Cox
MartinHafer This was a great Pepe Le Pew cartoon and it's obvious that the character has hit his stride and has developed into a set formula. You know, Pepe meets up with a female cat and pursues her doggedly until the film concludes. Aside from one cartoon where he chases a small dog, this is the idea for the average Le Pew toon.This time, the formula is a tad different because the female cat actually MEANT to look like a skunk. That's because she's hungry and sees that the zoo animals are getting a free meal. She paints herself to look like a skunk and sneaks into Pepe's cage to get a steak (yes, I know skunks do NOT eat steak). From here on, it's chase, chase, chase--along with some very cute jokes here and there. What I particularly loved was when Pepe created a "love shack" in his skunk enclosure--what a hoot! If you like this character, then this cartoon is a must. Otherwise, it's still a must, as you gotta like Pepe Le Pew or you are dead!
Lee Eisenberg Once again, Pepe Le Pew tries to get slinky with the female cat, but his offensive odor prevents it. In this case, he lives in Paris zoo - where everything begins with "le" - and she paints herself like a skunk to get something to eat. In some senses, it seems like if you've seen one Pepe Le Pew cartoon, you've seen (and possibly smelled) them all. But "Scent-imental Romeo" is still really fun. I've long viewed Pepe as the sort of misunderstood person who can't help that he's offensive, because he doesn't know it (and isn't it our stereotype that the French lack hygiene skills?).But anyway, this cartoon is still a treat. Watching it, you may feel like getting romantic with someone.
