Looney Tunes: Pepe Le Pew Collection. Own it on DVD today!
Synopsis (WB): A new compilation featuring 17 iconic shorts of the loveable French skunk, Pepe Le Pew! Pepe is always strolling around Paris in the springtime, where everyone’s thoughts are of love. While he is constantly seeking l ‘amour of his own, his huge turnoff to any prospective mate is his malodorous scent. Together for the first time are some of Pepe’s most beloved and comical shorts.
My thoughts: I never was a huge fan of Pepe Le Pew. I thought he was amusing, but I also thought he was a little bit creepy. Who locks up victims and calls them “lovers” aside from people who have some serious issues? In any case, he’s way up there on the sexual harassment scale.
However, I did laugh at the shorts featured in this DVD. They are very well written, animated, and are crafted from beginning to end with the goal of making you laugh in mind. It shows that the team behind the Looney Tunes cartoons were at the top of their game for several decades, and these cartoons could be used as a masterclass for animators who are looking to recapture some of the original verve these “old-school” cartoons have.
Overall, if you’re a fan of old-school Looney Tunes, you might want to pick this up.
