Scent-imental Over You

About This Movie

'Scent-imental Over You' is a charming little piece from 1947 that captures a quirky atmosphere with its hand-drawn animation style. There's a delightful absurdity in the premise—a hairless pup donning a fur coat, not realizing it makes her look like a skunk. Pacing feels just right for a short, with a mix of comedy and a bit of sweet innocence. The interactions with Pepé Le Pew are playful, showcasing that oddball romantic chemistry. You can really see the craftsmanship in those practical effects; the way the coat contrasts with the dog’s natural appearance is humorous yet endearing. It’s a short but lively romp that exemplifies the whimsical storytelling of its time.

This short has seen various releases over the years, mostly in collections of classic Warner Bros. animation. Scarcity can be an issue, especially for early VHS or even the laserdisc editions. Collectors often seek it out not just for its content but for its nostalgic value and connection to the broader Pepé Le Pew franchise. It serves as an interesting study in character design and humor from that era.
