WB making live action Pepe Le Pew movie?

Ben, my older brother who isnt a member of this site says the irony will hit WB hard if this bombs in France.

AFAIK, Pepe Le Pew has never been particularly well-regarded in France.

They do love Droopy (and Tex Avery's M-G-M cartoons in general), though.

Tweety Bird also seems to have a following there .. at least, when it comes to licensed merchandise.

Thats the thing, they dislike em. So its one of the reasons it would bomb. Although I have ran into two french people in my school who happen to like pepe.

They don't get the joke about Chuck Jones's "Fantasy French for Foreigners"
("Une skunque-catte de pole-pew!" "Pouf, Josef!--Le gendarme que la fix!")

...Neither, I fear, does the current Warner.

Yeah...I can't see a Pepe movie doing well in France. In fact, I can't see a Pepe movie doing well anywhere!

My prediction is that grace02 is outta here!
