It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

. . . as the last refuge of the stinky skunks fleeing their wives and kids, so you'd think that the self-styled "Pepe Le Pew" (a.k.a., Henry the wayward dad and husband) would fit right in. But as Germany proved twice between 1914 and 1939, the French are total pushovers when it comes to any kind of invasion. True to form, one glimpse of Pepe proves enough to send an entire outpost of Frenchmen fleeing at the beginning of the Warner Bros. animated short, LITTLE BEAU PEPE. The main action then starts when the post's Left Behind female cat rubs the fresh whitewash off the bottom rung of a ladder with her back. Pepe erroneously concludes that this tainted kitty is a virginal skunk, opening another episode in his serial stalking career. Sensing a possible B.O. problem, Pepe next sprays himself with an ultra-smelly cocktail made from an entire shelf of exotic perfumes, which he's mixed together. A stray feline pheromone heats up the previously frigid kitty. As soon as the tables are turned, Pepe flees his prey-turned-pursuer, showing that his true stripes are Yellow.

Pepe Le Pew is not my favourite Looney Tunes character, but he is an entertaining one and also one that I appreciate much more than I did as a 10-year child 10 years ago. For me, For Scent-imental Reasons is Pepe's best cartoon, but Little Beau Pepe is still great. The animation is done in an elegant and beautifully-coloured style, one of the better-looking Pepe cartoons for me. The music is full of character and has a wonderful sense of irony and lush affection that suits Pepe and Looney Tunes cartoons so well. The writing has wit and that delicious self-irony that is an essential part of Pepe's character. The gags are just as clever and well timed, the ending is particularly great. The story is simple but effective in that regard, and is very crisply paced. Pepe and Penelope are very easy to like sort of characters, and Mel Blanc's vocals are superb.In conclusion, lots of fun. 9/10 Bethany Cox

This is yet another fun and typical Pepe Le Pew cartoon. While the formula is pretty well set and there are no huge surprises, it is a fun and very pleasant cartoon--and features some wonderful Chuck Jones animation.The film begins in a fort in North Africa manned by the French Foreign Legion. Their mascot is a cat and NATURALLY she is accidentally painted to look like a skunk. When a real skunk appears (Pepe), the Legionaires run--leaving Pepe to pursue la petite femme skunk! The action seems like a combination of a Foreign Legion film and THE SHEIK and what's best about it is its funny ending when the hunter becomes the hunted. Great stuff and hard to beat entertainment.

The whole premise of the Pepe Le Pew cartoons is based on a whopping bit of irony-a French skunk styling himself as "the great lover" (think Charles Boyer squared) but, for reasons obvious to everyone save himself, he finds it difficult to get a date on Saturday nights. Like a great many would-be Lotharios, when the tables turn, Pepe turns chicken and runs. A very funny cartoon, with a joke that will be particularly enjoyable for horse racing fans, at least older ones anyway. One party-pooper note: by law (unless it's been changed) French nationals cannot join the French Foreign Legion, which, given the name, should be stunningly obvious. Well worth tracking down. Recommended.
