Excellent but underrated film

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

. . . this 1947 Pepe Le Pew outing from two years later ups the queasy quotient close to a quart. At least the anonymous tom cat in KITTY was bigger than Henry the Skunk (a.k.a., Pepe), and a male, to boot. Hank's Hanky Panky threats were merely implied in KITTY--not realized. Tom's utter reluctance to consider inter-species (and intra-gender) mating certainly raised the "Yuck!" Factor for viewers, but they sensed all along that Tom would take care of himself in the end. KITTY was abhorrent primarily for its possibility of leading little ones astray. SCENT-IMENTAL OVER YOU realizes the darkest fears raised by KITTY. Rank Hank's focus now is making a female dog less than half his size gag. His unwanted attentions remain unrelenting, as he adds kidnapping and locking his victim inside a hidden room (similar to recent cases uncovered in California, Utah, Cleveland, and elsewhere) to his list of serial sex crimes. At the end Henry\Pepe anticipates and takes advantage of Stockholm Syndrome, as he reveals that he's a skunk in a dog suit in a skunk suit, cleverly trying to make his victim identify with him. It's surprising Warner Bros. next cartoon "friend" wasn't Sneaky Snake!

I have always been a fan of Looney Tunes. Pepe LePew is not one of the best characters in my estimations, but he is amusing and endearing enough. Likewise, I do think there are better Pepe cartoons out there, in terms of gags and story there is not much that could be classified as ground-breaking and while the last 2 minutes or so are great Scent-i-mental Over You for me is only mildly amusing. However, the animation is of elegant simplicity, ideal for the type of cartoon and the setting. The music has a lot of lush charm, and there are some really cute moments throughout. Pepe handles himself very well, and it was refreshing to have a character different to Penelope yet with similar character qualities to her and almost as likable. Mel Blanc excels as usual. All in all, unexceptional but cute and worth the watch. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Scent-imental Over You (1947) *** (out of 4) There weren't too many Pepe Le Pew shorts, perhaps because they're all based around a single joke, but that one joke was usually good enough to get some laughs and smiles. This time out a hairless dog puts on some fur, which makes it look like a skunk so needless to say the other dogs stay away from her. She finally gets some unwanted attention when Pepe sets his eyes on her and won't let go. It would be hard for me to watch the Pepe shorts all together since they are one-joke-films but when viewed on their own they aren't too bad. There's nothing ground breaking here, be it animation wise or even comedy wise, but there's still several cute scenes that will put a smile on your face. One of the highlights comes towards the end when Pepe gets the dog trapped inside his apartment where a little twist happens.

Although the laughs are usually based on a single joke, with Pepe relentlessly seeking a mate and finding that he is quite irresistible, these Pepe Le Pew cartoons were stylish fun from the Chuck Jones factory of cartoons.There's not much to be said for the plot which had been used in countless other Pepe films, but as usual there are chuckles to be had in how Pepe's love struck antics get him caught up in one silly situation after another.Animation is standard for this type of cartoon. Recommended only for those who succumb to Pepe's Charles Boyer accent and his rascally ways.
