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. 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 Pepé Le Pew. In March 2021, as a result of controversy surrounding the character, Pepé Le Pew was reported to be removed from modern Warner Bros. projects until further notice, starting with Space Jam: A New Legacy. However, the character has been seen in later projects since then. Mark Evanier observed that even Pepé's co-creator Maltese "wasn't (...) too fond of him", and reported Maltese's claim that later Pepé cartoons were the result of the success of the first one. Potential feature film adaptation In October 2010, it was reported that Mike Myers would voice Pepé Le Pew in a feature-length live-action/animated film based on the character, although no information about this project has surfaced since. In July 2016, it was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con that Max Landis was writing a fully-animated Pepé Le Pew feature film for Warner Bros. 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. In popular culture Pepé Le Pew was referenced in the song "Beeswax" by popular American rock band Nirvana. 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. In an episode of The Simpsons, "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Guest Star" which is about Bart and Homer trying to become Catholic, Reverend Lovejoy says to Father Sean in an attempt to get Bart and Homer to stay Protestants "Move over, Popey Le Pew!" which is a pun on Pepe Le Pew.
