This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

. . . of Pepe Le Pew. It turns out that Mr. Le Pew of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies fame actually is a married skunk named Henry. Dissatisfied with his Life with Wife and Kids (there are at least two little ones in the picture), Henry yearns for a gayer Bisexual existence. When Henry's spouse (not named here) gives him a severe beating toward the end of ODOR-ABLE KITTY, the handwriting's on the wall: No more Mr. Nice Skunk. From now on, Hank will roam free under the Nom De Plum of "Pepe," johnny-on-the-spot to badger practically anything that moves--male, female, or other--for sexual favors. Henry\Pepe won't take suicide for an answer, as the tom cat who's actually the main character of ODOR-ABLE KITTY, learns here. Henry\Pepe is a textbook serial sexual harasser, and over the decades he's served as a role model for millions of victimizers who later protest that they were "Just Funning," or "playing doctor." One might wonder exactly HOW such a clear case of incipient perversion got MPAA American film censor board Seal of Approval #9494. But any student of Tawdry Town can answer that one. The MPAA's original logo is based upon a Vatican seal, and many of the same clerics who play "shuffle the pederast pedophile" have controlled the MPAA for the past 81 years.

After nearly getting killed by a big dog, a stray cat thinks to herself, "Why can't I be a skunk? Then everyone would leave me alone." She looks around the junkyard and gets an idea: white paint, black paint and some Limburger cheese and some garlic......hmmmm. The next thing you know, we have the forerunner to "Pepe Le Pew," although in this cartoon, she's still a cat, she's a she, and just a skunk in disguise. The cat also is enjoying and taking full advantage of her new status as a smelly skunk. He's a happy, content guy now.....until a real skunk (with the Charles Boyer imitation voice) shows up! I did appreciate the cat putting on a Bugs Bunny outfit. However, overall I never cared for these French-takeoff characters, finding the stereotypical dialog overdone and not really funny, so I only rate this as "fair." I do this a point, however, for the moral at the end of the story.

I've questioned the extent of the late, great, Mel Blanc's crazy character voices, and surely, this...well, I can't describe it--it's too incredible. Mel's voice for Pepe is reminiscent of Maurice Chevalier, for its boyish charm, or, to a lesser extent, Charles Boyer (though it SHOULD be noted that Pepe is only compared to Boyer because of personality, the unctuousness tone of voice, the heavily-lidded eyes, and the character name, Pepe Le Moko, from "Algiers"), which I think is a (if nothing else) perfect imitation.God, I have too much free time. I'm gonna stop now, since I have nothing to comment on this cartoon--**SPOILER**--except my favorite part was the ending where Pepe is actually a skunk named Henry with a horrible mid-Western(?) accent, a p***ed-off wife, and two smiling kids looking on as their soon-to-be bachelor father gets beaten by his wife with an umbrella.

The brilliant Chuck Jones, master of Warner Bros. cartoon comedy, brings us the first (?) Pepe LePew cartoon. An alley cat, tired of being pushed around, paints himself in the colors of a skunk, and with a healthy dose of Limburger, turns the tables on his tormentors. Then along comes Pepe, and you know the rest. Many of Pepe's famous gags were born here, including his chase/hop, in which he hops casually along while his prey runs himself to exhaustion.In my opinion, Warner Bros. cartoons became less inventive and more ho-hum in the 50s. This 1947 'toon is one of the few examples of Mel Blanc putting his absolutely crazy voice into Pepe's mouth. But the kicker is the ending, where Pepe is revealed to be an American "wolf in skunk's clothing"! A must see! Classic Warner Bros...
