Truly Dreadful Film

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

STAR: "Pepe Le Pew".Director: CHARLES M. JONES. Story: Michael Maltese. Animation: Ben Washam, Lloyd Vaughan, Ken Harris, Phil Monroe. Lay-outs: P. Gribbroek. Backgrounds: Paul Alvarado. Voice characterisations: Mel Blanc. Music director: Carl W. Stalling. Color by Technicolor. Producer: Edward Selzer.Copyright 28 November 1949 by The Vitaphone Corp. (In notice: 1948). A Warner Bros. "Merrie Melodies" cartoon. U.S. release: 12 November 1949. 7 minutes.COMMENT: Although it actually won the 1949 prestigious Hollywood award for Best Cartoon, defeating M-G-M's Hatch Up Your Troubles, UPA's Magic Fluke, and Walt Disney's Toy Tinkers, this, the first Pepe Le Pew cartoon, but not in my opinion (despite its prestigious Hollywood award) one of the very best.Admittedly, it has its ingenious moments. But in this one, the background (a perfume shop) is too circumscribed, the designs are not as art deco colorful, and Pepe doesn't quite have that jaunty Maurice Chevalier air which makes him so totally endearing in his later films. I don't remember him singing in this one either.

This is one of the cartoons I remember watching many times as a kid. I think it was in one of the Looney Tunes compilation films (possibly the Bugs Bunny-Road Runner movie). Years later, I can still watch it and enjoy it.Pepe Le Pew finds his way into a perfume shop, much to the shock of the store's owner. After a local policeman fails to get rid of Pepe, the owner sends a female cat inside to resolve the issue. However, the cat gets a bottle of white liquid on her back, thus making her look like a skunk. Once Pepe sees her, it is instant attraction for him.Pepe Le Pew is of course one of the most likable of the Looney Tunes, and his love for the cat leads to several laughs. This is a good one, in my opinion.

Paris, France: A perfume shop owner discovers that the amorous skunk Pepe Le Pew is generously sampling his perfumes. The distraught shop-owner flings a cat inside to eject the skunk. The feline femme fatale, of course, has her back dyed white, and when Pepe sees this, he of course tries to woo her (sometimes forcibly), blissfully unaware that she is trying to escape his scent-imental attentions. "For Scent-imental Reasons" was the first Pepe cartoon I ever saw, having seen it on tape in "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie". The ending and beginning are a bit funnier and more unique than usual, and some of the humor comes from sources besides Pepe, which is unusual. Certainly one of his best efforts, although not the best of all.

Up till this point the few Pepe Le Pew movies were actualy pretty boring.In this one we are introduced to his mate Penelope Cat.Pepe has broken into a perfume shop in France and the owner has the idea to sent her in to chase him away.What an idea.Once she gets a white stripe on her buck Pepe has chosen her as mate.His efforts to persuade her to join him and her own to avoid him are ecxelent comedy material.And one his scent is removed and she finaly notices how does his body look the roles are reversed.The odd couple does belong together.Too bad most of the other Pepe movies repeated this film and made it lost his uniqueness.Because it is one of the best of the Looney Toons.
