Clevercell Very disappointing...

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

tavm Like just about every Pepe Le Pew cartoon, there's a female cat who's mistaken for a skunk because of white paint that conveniently forms a straight line on the cat's back. As a result, Pepe falls madly in love with her while she is repelled and tries to escape with her running frantically and he just hopping along without a care in the world. That's the premise of the nearly whole series in a nutshell but this one has a twist at the end that makes For Scent-imental Reasons somewhat worthy of the Oscar it eventually won. In fact, I was pretty amused throughout most of the cartoon. And I always wonder how much of the French was real and how much of it was gibberish! Ah well, Say la vie!

MartinHafer Although I will admit that most of the Pepe Le Pew films are very similar, I have always loved these cartoons. I particularly loved the Charles Boyer-inspired voice as well as the great romantic dialog.Here, as usual, a poor cat is mistaken by the perennially on the make Pepe as another skunk. Despite showing no interest in him, Pepe "doggedly" pursues her throughout the film. However, like some of the better Le Pew cartoons, by the end of the film the tables are turned. In this case, for a very fitting and funny conclusion. If you are a fan of the skunk, then this is a must-see film and one of the earliest appearances of this beloved character.PS--This film won the Oscar for Best Cartoon Short--rather surprising, isn't it?

ccthemovieman-1 An owner of a French perfume shop enters his store one day and discovers a skunk sampling the merchandise! He calls a cop but that doesn't help. A cat then sidles up to the Frenchman, so the latter throws the cat in the building with orders to get that skunk out of there. The black cat bumps into a can of white paint, which conveniently pours a steak down his back.The skunk - our first look at the character "Pepe Le Pew" - sees the cat and thinks it's a female skunk. He woos it, using every French cliché of the day and the cat keeps running away, of course. When the two of them fall out the window, Pepe falls into a vat of blue paint and the cat falls into a vat of water. Because of their new appearances, the shoe is on the other foot with the cat now "in love" with Pepe!Frankly, I found most of this unfunny, nothing I would watch again unless for "historical" reasons to see the "birth" of Pepe in Merrie Melody cartoons.

movieman_kev Pepe LaPew breaks into a perfume store and a female cat is sent in to get the smelly skunk out, of course the cat finds a way to accidentally get whit paint on herself, thus looking like a female skunk. I never understood the love for Pepe LePew. He's a rather weak character, he's not that funny and he's French. That's three strikes against him from the get go. It doesn't help that in his cartoon shorts that there's really just one gag that's used over and over again. This short won an Oscar as well, big deal I can name a good number of things that aren't great at all that have won Oscars through out the years. This cartoon is on Disk 3 of the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1" It also has an optional commentary as well as a featurette. It IS uncut at leastMy Grade: C-
