    I enjoyed it on the whole

    I like the Pepe Le Pew cartoons, they are not among my favourite Looney Tunes cartoons but they are fun to watch. Really Scent is not one of his best, but it is one of his most interesting. True it is not For Scent-imental Reasons- my contender for Pepe Le Pew's best- and it is one of not that many that doesn't try to be. Instead it does have an interesting idea that is done well. The decision to have Pepe realising how terrible he smells may initially seem strange and out of character for him, but it was a nice change of pace. The story does have its forced moments and the sight gags are only mildly amusing rather than razor-sharp hilarious. I have to say though that the tables turning the tables on Pepe was great. However, it does look beautiful, the colours and backgrounds are very elegant especially. The music has incisive and lively energy, the pacing is crisp, the dialogue has cleverness and wit and Pepe, ever the romantic, is on top form. Fabrette is a nice contrast. Mel Blanc as always give superb voice characterisations, and June Foray doing the narration doesn't put a foot wrong either. In conclusion, enjoyable but not great. 8/10 Bethany Cox

    Nice idea, but the sum is less than its parts.

    This is an enjoyable enough short, but with the idea they start with, narration by June Foray and this being a Pepe Le Pew, somehow this one sort of stumbles and lurches along. It may just be me, but the jokes aren't that funny and the dialogue is lame for some reason. The base idea is very inventive, but the story seems forced. Not a bad cartoon by any means. Just not all that good either. Still worth watching at least once. Recommended for big Pepe Le Pew fans.

    Pepe's best short

    This is the only one of Pepe's who doesn't imitate "For Scent-imental Reasons".In this short Pepe is both needed to bring romance in the life of a lonely cat and considerate enough to try to get rid of his scent to make things easier for his partner.His partner in this case is named Fabrette and is borned with white stripes.She desperately needs Pepe.In order to fit with Pepe she even tries to obtain a skung's scent.Both lovers are willing to do anything for this relationship to work.A good idea for a romantic comedy that actualy works.
