Warner Bros. theatrical cartoon character
Fictional character
Pepe Le Pew
is an animated character from the
Warner Bros.
Looney Tunes
and
Merrie Melodies
series of cartoons, introduced in 1945. Depicted as a French anthropomorphic
striped skunk
, Pepe is constantly on the quest for love and pursuit of romance but typically his skunk odor cause other characters to run away from him.
[1]
Although initially a feature character with his own series of shorts, Pepe has drawn increasing criticism as treating the harassment of clearly unwilling women as a subjects of humor. The women in his films often flee in fear of him, and his behavior is seen as a form of
stalking
and implied
sexual assault
.
Premise
[
edit
]
Pepe Le Pew storylines typically involve Pepe in pursuit of a female
black cat
, whom Pepe mistakes for a
skunk
("la belle femme skunk fatale"). The cat, who was
retroactively
named
Penelope Pussycat
, often has a white stripe painted down her back, usually by accident (such as by squeezing under a fence with wet white paint). Penelope frantically races to get away from him because of his putrid odor, his overly aggressive manner or both, while Pepe hops after her at a leisurely pace.
Settings
[
edit
]
The setting is always a
mise-en-scene
echoing with fractured French. They include Paris in the springtime, the
Matterhorn
, or the little village of
N'est-ce Pas
in the
French Alps
. The exotic locales, such as
Algiers
, are drawn from the story of the 1937 film
Pepe le Moko
. Settings associated in popular culture with romance, such as the
Champs-Elysees
or the
Eiffel Tower
, are sometimes present.
[2]
One episode was in the
Sahara Desert
, with Pepe seeking to work as a
Legionnaire
at a French military outpost.
Narcissism
[
edit
]
Pepe describes Penelope as lucky to be the object of his affections and uses a romantic paradigm to explain his failures to seduce her. For example, he describes a hammer blow to his head as a form of
flirtation
rather than rejection. Accordingly, he shows no sign of
narcissistic injury
or loss of confidence, no matter how many times he is rebuffed.
[2]
Reversals
[
edit
]
In a role-reversal, the
Academy Award
-winning
[3]
1949 short
For Scent-imental Reasons
ended with an accidentally painted blue (and now terrified) Pepe being pursued by a madly smitten Penelope (who has been dunked in dirty water, leaving her with a ratty appearance and a developing head cold, completely clogging up her nose). It turns out that Pepe's new color is just right for her (plus the fact that the blue paint now covers his putrid scent). Penelope locks him up inside a perfume shop, hiding the key down her chest, and proceeds to chase the now-imprisoned and effectively odorless Pepe.
In another short,
Little Beau Pepe
, Pepe, attempting to find the most arousing
cologne
with which to impress Penelope, sprays a combination of perfumes and colognes upon himself. This resulted in something close to a love potion, leading Penelope to fall madly in love with Pepe in an explosion of hearts. Pepe is revealed to be extremely frightened of overly-affectionate women ("But Madame!"), much to his dismay, as Penelope quickly captures him and smothers him in more love than even
he
could imagine.
And yet again, in
Really Scent
, Pepe removes his odor by locking himself in a
deodorant
plant so Penelope (known in this short as '
Fabrette'
; a black cat with an unfortunate marking) would like him (this is also the only episode that Pepe is acutely aware of his own odor, having checked the word "pew" in the dictionary). However, Penelope (who in this picture is actually
trying
to have a relationship with Pepe because all the male cats of
New Orleans
take her to be a skunk and run like blazes, but is appalled by his odor) had decided to make her own odor match her appearance and had locked herself in a
Limburger cheese
factory. Now more forceful and demanding, Penelope quickly corners the terrified Pepe, who, after smelling her new stench, wants nothing more than to escape the amorous female cat. Unfortunately, now
she
will not take "no" for an answer and proceeds to chase Pepe off into the distance, with no intention of letting him escape.
[a]
Although Pepe usually mistakes Penelope for a female skunk, in
Past Perfumance
, he realizes that she is a cat when her stripe washes off. Undeterred, he proceeds to cover his white stripe with black paint, taking the appearance of a cat before resuming the chase.
To emphasize Pepe's cheerful dominance of the situation, Penelope is always
mute
(or more precisely, makes only natural cat sounds, albeit with a stereotypical "le" before each one) in these stories; only the self-deluded Pepe speaks (several non-recurring human characters are given minimal dialogue, often nothing more than a repulsed "Le pew!").
Variations
[
edit
]
Sometimes this formula is varied. In his initial cartoon,
Odor-able Kitty
, Pepe (who was revealed to be a French-American skunk named Henri in this short) unwittingly pursues a red tabby cat who has intentionally disguised himself as a skunk (complete with the scent of
Limburger cheese
) in order to scare off a bunch of characters who have mistreated him.
Scent-imental Over You
has Pepe pursuing a female
Chihuahua
who has donned a skunk pelt (mistaking it for a fur coat). In the end, she removes her pelt, revealing that she is a dog. However, he then reveals to the audience that he is a real skunk. In
Wild Over You
, Pepe attempts to seduce a female
wildcat
who had escaped a zoo (during what is called "Le grande tour du Zoo" at a 1900 exhibition) and painted herself to look like a skunk to escape her keepers. This cartoon is notable for not only diverging from the Pepe/female-black-cat dynamic, but also rather cheekily showing that Pepe
likes to be beaten up
, considering the wildcat thrashes him numerous times.
Really Scent
is also a subversion with Penelope (here called
Fabrette
) attracted to him from the beginning, removing the need for Pepe to chase her as
she
goes to
him
. But Pepe's scent still causes a problem for her as they try to build a relationship.
Production
[
edit
]
Pepe was created at
Warner Bros. Cartoons
by animation director
Chuck Jones
and writer
Michael Maltese
. Animation producer
Eddie Selzer
, who was then Jones' bitterest foe at the studio, once profanely commented that no one would laugh at the Pepe cartoons.
[4]
: 92
However, this did not keep Selzer from accepting an award for one of Pepe's pictures several years later.
Jones wrote that Pepe was based (loosely) on the personality of his
Termite Terrace
colleague, writer
Tedd Pierce
, a self-styled "ladies' man" who reportedly always assumed that his infatuations were reciprocated.
[4]
: 119
In a short documentary film,
Chuck Jones: Memories of Childhood
, Jones told an interviewer (perhaps jokingly) that Pepe was actually based on himself, except that he was very shy with girls.
The 1944 WB short,
I Got Plenty of Mutton
, directed by
Frank Tashlin
and written by Melvin Millar, features a hungry wolf dressing up as a ewe to fool a ram guarding a flock of sheep (a gag later adapted by Jones in his
Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog
cartoons). The infatuated ram proceeds to aggressively romance the horrified wolf in a style identical to Pepe's, with Mel Blanc using the same faux-French accent and endearments featured in the later Pepe cartoons?the ram even employs the same prancing gait later associated with Pepe for his pursuit.
[5]
A prototype of Pepe appeared in 1947's
Bugs Bunny Rides Again
, but sounded similar to
Porky Pig
. When the character of Pepe was more fully developed for cartoons of his own,
Mel Blanc
based Pepe's voice on
Charles Boyer
's Pepe le Moko from
Algiers
(1938), a remake of the 1937 French film
Pepe le Moko
.
[6]
Blanc's voice for the character closely resembled a voice he had used for "Professor Le Blanc", a harried violin instructor on
The Jack Benny Program
. There have also been theories that Pepe's voice was based on singer
Maurice Chevalier
.
In Pepe's short cartoons, a kind of pseudo-French or
Franglais
is spoken and written primarily by adding the French article
le
to English words (as in "
le
skunk
de
pew") or by more creative mangling of English expressions and French syntax, such as
"Sacre maroon!"
,
"My sweet peanut of brittle"
,
"Come to me, my little melon-baby collie!"
,
"Ah, my little darling, it is love at first sight, is it not, no?"
, and
"It is love at sight first!"
The writer responsible for these
malapropisms
was
Michael Maltese
.
An example of dialogue from the
Oscar
-winning 1949 short
For Scent-imental Reasons
illustrates the use of French and broken French:
- Pepe:
(sings)
Affaire d'amour? Affaire de coeur? Je ne sais quoi, je vive en espoir…
(sniffs)
Mmmm m mm… un smell a vous finez…
(hums)
- Gendarme:
Le kittee quel terrible odeur!
- Proprietor:
Allez, Gendarme! Allez! Retournez-moi! This instonce! Oh, pauvre moi, I am ze bankrupt…
(sobs)
- Cat/Penelope:
Le mew? Le purrrrrrr.
- Proprietor:
A-a-ahhh. Le pussy ferocious! Remove zot skunk! Zot cat-pole from ze premises! Avec!
- Cat/Penelope:
(smells skunk)
Sniff, sniff, sniff-sniff, sniff-sniff.
- Pepe:
Quel est?
(notices cat)
Ahh! Le belle femme skunk fatale!
(clicks tongue twice)
Pepe Le Pew's cartoons have been translated and dubbed in French. In the French version, the voice of "Pepe
le putois
" was dubbed by Francois Tavares, using a heavy Italian accent in a vocal caricature of
Yves Montand
.
Cameo appearances
[
edit
]
Chuck Jones first introduced the character (originally named
Stinky
) in the 1945 short
Odor-able Kitty
(see "
Variations
"), in which he was revealed to be a French skunk named Henri who had been speaking in that accent. For the remaining cartoons Jones directed, Pepe retained his accent, nationality, and purported bachelor status throughout, and the object of his pursuit was (almost) always female.
A possible
[
vague
]
second cameo appearance is at the end of
Fair and Worm-er
(Chuck Jones, 1946). This skunk does not speak, but looks identical (or is a close relation) and shares the same mode of travel and a slight variation of Pepe's hopping music. His function here is to chase a string of characters who had all been chasing each other (a la "
There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly
").
A skunk often identified as Pepe appears in the
Art Davis
-directed cartoon
Odor of the Day
(1948); in this entry, the theme of romantic pursuit is missing as the skunk (in a non-speaking role, save for a shared "Gesundheit!" at the finish) vies with a male dog for lodging accommodations on a cold winter day. This is one of the two cartoons where the character, if this is indeed Pepe, uses his scent-spray as a deliberate weapon: shot from his tail as if it were a machine gun. The other one is
Touche and Go
, where he frees himself from the jaws of a shark by releasing his odor into the shark's mouth.
Pepe makes a more obvious cameo in
Dog Pounded
(1954), where he is attracted to
Sylvester
after the latter tried to get around a pack of guard dogs, in his latest attempt to capture and eat
Tweety
, by painting a white stripe down his back (in Pepe's only appearance in a
Freleng
short).
Pepe appears in the 1979 TV special
Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales
as a
caroler
.
Pepe makes a cameo in the 1994
Super NES
video game
Bugs Bunny: Rabbit Rampage
, based on several Bugs Bunny cartoons. He is seen in the audience along with several other Looney Tunes characters when Bugs fights Toro the Bull and the Crusher in different stages. Pepe is waving a pennant reading "El Toro" or "Le Crusher", dependent on the stage.
Later appearances
[
edit
]
Pepe appeared with several other Looney Tunes characters in
Filmation
's 1972 made-for-TV special
Daffy Duck and Porky Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies
. In the
King Arthur
film Daffy Duck's studio was producing in the story, Pepe played assistant to
Mordred
(played by
Yosemite Sam
).
Pepe was going to have a cameo in
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
, but was later dropped for unknown reasons.
[7]
Pepe made several cameo appearances on the 1990 series
Tiny Toon Adventures
(voiced by
Greg Burson
) as a professor at Acme Looniversity and the mentor to the female skunk character
Fifi La Fume
. He appeared briefly in "The Looney Beginning" and had a more extended cameo in "It's a Wonderful Tiny Toon Adventures Christmas Special". The segment "Out of Odor" from the episode "Viewer Mail Day" saw character Elmyra disguise herself as Pepe in an attempt to lure Fifi into a trap, only to have Fifi begin aggressively wooing her.
Pepe also made cameo appearances in the
Histeria!
episode "When America Was Young" and in the Goodfeathers segment, "We're No Pigeons", on
Animaniacs
.
In the 1995 animated short
Carrotblanca
, a
parody
/
homage
of the classic film
Casablanca
, both Pepe and Penelope appear: Pepe (voiced again by Greg Burson) as Captain Renault and Penelope (voiced by
Tress MacNeille
) as "Kitty Ketty" (modeled after
Ingrid Bergman
's performance as Ilsa). Unlike the character's other appearances in cartoons, Penelope (as Kitty) has extensive speaking parts in
Carrotblanca
.
In
The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries
, in the episode, "Platinum Wheel of Fortune", when
Sylvester
gets a white stripe on his back, a skunk immediately falls in love with him. This is not Pepe, but a similar character identified as "Pitu Le Pew" (voiced by
Jeff Bennett
). However, he does say, "What can I say, Pepe Le Pew is my third cousin. It runs in the family." Pepe would later appear in the episode "Is Paris Stinking" (voiced once again by Greg Burson), where he pursues Sylvester who is unintentionally dressed in drag. Pepe would appear once more in
Tweety's High-Flying Adventure
(voiced by
Joe Alaskey
), falling in love with both Sylvester and Penelope (Sylvester had gotten a white stripe on his back from Penelope while they fought over
Tweety
).
Pepe was, at one point, integral to the storyline for the movie
Looney Tunes: Back in Action
(voiced by
Bruce Lanoil
). Originally, once Bugs Bunny,
Daffy Duck
, DJ, and Kate arrived in Paris, Pepe was to give them a mission briefing inside a gift shop. Perhaps because of the group receiving their equipment in
Area 52
, Pepe's scene was cut, and in the final film, he plays only a bit part, dressed like a police officer, who tries to help DJ (played by
Brendan Fraser
) after Kate (played by
Jenna Elfman
) is kidnapped. However, some unused animation of him and Penelope appears during the end credits, thus giving viewers a rare glimpse at his cut scene, and his cut scene appears in the movie's print adaptations. Pepe also appears in
Space Jam
(voiced by
Maurice LaMarche
), where his voice has curiously been changed into an approximation of
Maurice Chevalier
, as opposed to more traditional vocalization.
In
Loonatics Unleashed
, a human based on Pepe Le Pew called Pierre Le Pew (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) has appeared as one of the villains of the second season of the show. Additionally, Pepe and Penelope Pussycat appear as cameos in a display of Otto the Odd in the episode "The Hunter". In the episode "The World is My Circus", Lexi Bunny complains that "this Pepe Le Pew look is definitely not me" after being mutated into a skunk-like creature.
Pepe also appeared on the 2006 direct-to-DVD movie
Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas
(voiced again by Joe Alaskey) as one of Daffy's employees.
A 2009 Valentine's Day-themed
AT&T
commercial brings Pepe (voiced once again by Joe Alaskey) and Penelope's relationship up to date, depicting Penelope not as repulsed by Pepe, but madly in love with him. The commercial begins with Penelope deliberately painting a white stripe on her own back; when her cell phone rings and displays Pepe's picture, Penelope's lovestruck beating heart bulges beneath her chest in a classic cartoon image.
A baby version of Pepe Le Pew appeared in
Baby Looney Tunes
, voiced by
Terry Klassen
. In the episode "New Cat in Town", everyone thought that he was a cat. Sylvester was the only one who knew the truth. When Daffy was playing with a laptop, Sylvester removed the battery because he was afraid that everybody would avoid him. We also see a grown-up version of him on the laptop. In another episode, titled "Stop and Smell Up the Flowers", Pepe Le Pew is shown to be good friends with a baby
Gossamer
and seemed slightly older than his previous appearance.
Pepe Le Pew has appeared in
The Looney Tunes Show
episode "Members Only", voiced by
Rene Auberjonois
in season one and by
Jeff Bergman
in season two. He was present at the arranged marriage of Bugs Bunny and
Lola Bunny
, in which Lola eventually fell in love with Pepe. He also made a short cameo appearance with
Penelope Pussycat
in the Merrie Melodies segment "Cock of the Walk" sung by
Foghorn Leghorn
. He appeared in his own music video "Skunk Funk" in the 16th episode "That's My Baby". He also appeared again in another Merrie Melodies segment "You Like/I Like" sung by
Mac and Tosh
. His first appearance in the second season was in the second episode entitled "You've Got Hate Mail", reading a hate-filled email accidentally sent by
Daffy Duck
. He also had a short appearance in the Christmas special "A Christmas Carol" where he takes part in the song "Christmas Rules." In "Gribbler's Quest," Pepe Le Pew is shown to be in the same group therapy with Daffy Duck, Marvin the Martian, and Yosemite Sam.
Pepe made a cameo in a
MetLife
commercial in 2012 titled "Everyone". He is seen standing in the forest, then sees his love interest
Penelope Pussycat
riding on the back of
Battle Cat
with
He-Man
, and immediately hops after her.
Pepe appeared in
Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run
, voiced again by Jeff Bergman, as the head of a major
perfumery
for whom Lola wants to create a signature scent.
Pepe also appeared in
New Looney Tunes
(formerly called
Wabbit
), voiced by
Eric Bauza
, in the role of a
James Bond
-like
secret agent
.
Pepe makes a cameo in the
Looney Tunes Cartoons
episode "Happy Birthday Bugs Bunny!". The character was removed in the
Annecy Festival
60th-anniversary version of the episode.
[8]
He made a cameo appearance in the
Animaniacs
reboot's second season episode "Yakko Amakko".
[9]
Pepe was originally going to appear in
Tiny Toons Looniversity
. Pepe was initially supposed to be a cafeteria worker but later got reworked to be the ACME Looniversity chef, Chefe Le Pew. He was replaced by
Lola Bunny
in the final product, as
Warner Bros.
wanted to avoid using him due to the controversy.
[10]
[11]
[12]
In the episode "Freshman Orientoontion", silhouettes of him appear with other
Looney Tunes
characters when
Bugs Bunny
presents the Freshman Hall of Fame.
The character appeared in the video games
The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout
,
Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage
,
Space Jam
,
Bugs Bunny: Crazy Castle 3
,
Bugs Bunny: Crazy Castle 4
,
Looney Tunes: Back in Action
,
Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal
, and
Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem
.
Criticism
[
edit
]
The character has been criticized due to his antics being perceived as perpetuating
stereotypes of French culture
. Amber E. George, in her 2017 essay "Pride or Prejudice? Exploring Issues of Queerness, Speciesism, and Disability in Warner Bros. Looney Tunes", describes Pepe's actions towards Penelope Pussycat as "
sexual harassment
,
stalking
, and
abuse
" and noted that Pepe's qualities mock the French people and
their culture
.
[13]
Linda Jones Clough, the daughter of Pepe's creator, says she does not think anyone would watch Pepe cartoons and be inspired to rape someone, but she saw the choice to give him a break for a while as an appropriate decision. Clough also suggested something that reflected her father's vision, to write him as a job-seeker who keeps getting rejected, but changes up his routine thinking he is perfect.
[14]
Gabriel Iglesias
, voice of
Speedy Gonzales
in
Space Jam: A New Legacy
, said that he could not say that he ever saw the character in a negative light and that growing up watching the original cartoons, he said that it was just from a different time.
[15]
At the
Academy Museum of Motion Pictures
, a slideshow named "Woman in U.S. Animation" shows cartoons that shows "imagery that implies sexual assault", including Pepe Le Pew.
[16]
In March 2021, as a result of controversy surrounding the character, Pepe Le Pew was reported to be removed from modern
Warner Bros.
projects until further notice, starting with
Space Jam: A New Legacy
.
[17]
However, the character has been seen in later projects since then.
[9]
According to Gabe Swarr, "Yakko Amakko" was written before the controversy.
[18]
Mark Evanier
observed that even Pepe's co-creator Maltese "wasn't (...) too fond of him", and reported Maltese's claim that later Pepe cartoons were the result of the success of the first one.
[19]
Potential feature film adaptation
[
edit
]
In October 2010, it was reported that
Mike Myers
would voice Pepe Le Pew in a feature-length live-action/animated film based on the character, although no information about this project has surfaced since.
[20]
In July 2016, it was revealed at
San Diego Comic-Con
that
Max Landis
was writing a fully-animated Pepe Le Pew feature film for Warner Bros.
[21]
There has been no new information since then due to sexual assault allegations against Landis in 2017, and a report that the character has not yet been planned to appear in future Warner Bros. productions leaves the feature film in doubt.
[22]
In popular culture
[
edit
]
Pepe Le Pew was referenced in the song "
Beeswax
" by popular American rock band
Nirvana
.
[23]
On April 3, 2021, an
SNL
cold opening aired called "Oops, You Did It Again" (a pun on the
Britney Spears
song "
Oops!... I Did It Again
"), which stars celebrities acting as controversial figures including
Kate McKinnon
playing a cigar smoking Le Pew.
