Am I Missing Something?

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

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.

The entire last part where Pepe carries his unconscious object of desire to a tent all the way out in an oasis decorated with what I had mentioned earlier and makes an aphrodisiac out of really strong perfumes that work too well, which sends Pepe racing across the desert while his aphrodisiac-affected Penelope pursues him (reminiscent of "For Scent-imental Reasons, BTW) unsettled me (at first) and Pepe's ending remark, "Why is it that whenever a man is captured by a woman, all he wish to do is get away?" was a little sexist, but true to life.9 stars out of ten.
