The Worst Film Ever

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

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

. . . the first being that it is one of the few "Pepe Le Pew" outings in which his female black cat mating target skunk-stripes herself ON PURPOSE, in this case to repel a horde of threatening canines making her life miserable (evidently, BEFORE she's ever encountered a REAL stinker, especially Mr. Le Pew). Most likely, everything this cat knew about skunks she learned on Wikipedia (which lacks a Smell-O-Rama key). The second deviation from standard Pepe fare is that he proposes to MARRY the white-striped cat (which would be constitute bigamy, since an earlier cartoon featured his scolding wife--an actual female skunk!--and neglected kids). This nuptial offer is bracketed by Pepe first humming, then singing a snatch of "And the Band Played On," the theme of Pepe's Warner Bros. producer's live-action feature, STRAWBERRY BLONDE, in which James Cagney plays Pepe as a failed dentist. Next, Pepe calls the cool cat a "hoo," and says to the camera that all she needs is some "occupational therapy, like making love" (that is, "Hoo-Ing") to get into his good graces. Finally, this blatantly Hyper-sexualized "kids' short" concludes with Pepe about to pursue his "hoo" into a blocked off tunnel! His last words to the camera underline the most prominent anatomical difference between males and females, and then he symbolically penetrates the tunnel, preempting director Alfred Hitchcock's NORTH BY NORTHWEST climax by several years.

Though it is true that the same plot is used in every Pepe Le Pew cartoon, I could watch ten of them in a row and still be laughing. This is because the writing in these Pepe Le Pew cartoons is among the sharpest in cartoon history. There are a lot of great one-liners in this cartoon, as well as a lot of sexual innuendo. Pretty much the same thing that happens in every other Pepe cartoon puts together the plot in this cartoon. A cat gets a white stripe on its back, and Pepe Le Pew is under the impression that the cat is a female skunk. Pepe chases the cat around a lot, and then the cartoon ends. The ending to the cartoon seems a bit abrupt, but that does not take away from my enjoyment of the cartoon. When I was younger, I did not really care for Pepe Le Pew and often wondered why my parents were always laughing hysterically at them. Now I know. I would not recommend this cartoon nor most other Pepe cartoons to impressionable young children, but for everyone else, this is extremely funny.

A cat goes out to try and buy some nice perfume for herself, but finds herself confronted by dog after dog. She flees into a nest but finds herself with a streaked of white paint on her back, attracting the attention of Pepe Le Pew.Pepe Le Pew cartoons are a strange beast. They are nearly all the same joke based around the same characters and it must be hard to keep them feeling fresh. To show that, this film is rather stale and lacks anything that made it stick out in my mind or made me laugh. The plot is the usual `cat with white paint' routine and it sticks to the formula from then on. That's not to say it isn't amusing - it is if you are happy just to accept the same cartoon replayed, but it is not fresh or sparky.Pepe is an OK character but very much a one joke one. He has a few good lines here. The cat is the usual ratty looking little puss but yet still manages to have no distinguishable character of her own!The ending is sudden and very poor but overall the short is passable and quite amusing without being laugh out loud funny. Fans of Pepe will enjoy it but it is no different from any other of his cartoons.

This short is of interest mainly for the dialogue. There aren't many sight gags and the biggest laughs come from Pepe's lines. I have to quote one or two: Did you know that when you are in love, it is almost impossible to get insurance? But then, security isn't everything.Very funny short. Not the best of the series, which is Touche and Go, at least so far as I'm concerned, but very good and runs fairly often on Cartoon Network. Recommended.
