For Scent-imental Reasons
Appearance
For Scent-imental Reasons is a 1949 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes short, directed by Chuck Jones, written by Michael Maltese, and starring Pepe LePew. It won the 1949 Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons).
Synopsis
When a black cat accidentally gets a white stripe down her back, everyone assumes she is a skunk, including Pepe Le Pew. The love-stricken Pepe then tries to woo her, whereas she tries to avoid his smell.
Trivia
- Although this is not Pepe's first cartoon, this is the first where a cat accidentally gets a white stripe down her back (the first one, "Odor-Able Kitty" had a male cat and the second one, "Scent-imental Over You", had a chihuahua glue on skunk fur), a formula which was then used in all of Pepe's cartoons from this point on.
