In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

. . . what red-haired Wookies like to eat, Warner Bros. provides an answer in the 1952 Looney Tunes animated short, WATER, WATER EVERY HARE. It turns out that the "Evil Scientist" who Hare-Naps Bugs Bunny from the latter's impromptu water bed to transplant his brain into the former's giant android also has a ginger Wookie under lock and key (which would seem a more size-appropriate transplant option, were not Wookies so brainless that most of their vocabulary sounds like squeaky doors and defective plumbing). Anyway, Mr. Green Scientist lets slip that spider goulash is a crimson Wookie's favorite treat. Perhaps an even more major revelation highlights WATER, WATER EVERY HARE in that Bugs has constructed his lair smack dab in the middle of a flood plain, counting on the U.S. government to bail him out as many times as he can get away with (American taxpayers have sprung for two dozen home make-overs--each!--for some of the most notorious waterfront Fat Cats during recent years, thereby making them dead ringers for the critters who did in the Father of Our Country--George Washington--that is, leeches!). Clearly, Warner Bros. is using Bugs to warn us against the advent of a special government insurance giveaway scam for the Super Rich!

In these 7 minutes here, Bugs' home is flooded after a heavy rainfall and he is carried through the river right in the arms of an evil scientist. Buffy is actually really scared here at times, maybe because he does not know him so well like Elmer Fudd for example, who he has run into so many many times. And the red furry monster is around again too. However, most of the jokes were not that great in here in my opinion compared to Looney Toon's finest work. The director is Chuck Jones again, Michael Maltese wrote it and Mel Blanc did all the voices. My personal recommendation is: Watch "Hair-Raising Hare" instead. It's from 6 years earlier, right after World War II, but in my opinion it is more fun.

A HAIR-RAISING HARE was a wonderful cartoon featuring Bugs Bunny and the attempts by a mad scientist to use him for his evil experiments. The film also featured the orange monster as the scientist's evil assistant.Well, they are back, though slightly changed due to the passing of six years between the two cartoon shorts. Plus this time the scientist is not modeled after Peter Lorre, but is a large cranium-ed Boris Karloff wannabe. But the cute orange monster is pretty much the same and Bugs is once again at the top of his game in his attempts to foil these two. This cartoon only receives a slightly lower score because it was less original and ground-breaking that A HAIR-RAISING HARE.The water in the title refers to a flood that takes Bugs and his bed to and from the mad scientist's home.

"Water, Water Every Hare" is a fairly entertaining Bugs Bunny cartoon written by Michael Maltese and directed by Chuck Jones. Maltese was probably the best writer on the Warner Bros. cartoon team, and this short is full of gags from start to finish.Here are my favorite highlights from this cartoon (if you haven't seen it, don't read any further). Bugs adopts a beautician's accent and gives the orange monster a hair-parting (reminiscent of "Hair-Raising Hare" [1946]). Upon spotting a mummy at his side, Bugs screams and clings onto the hideous mad scientist. Then, upon spotting the scientist's green, monstrous face, Bugs screams louder and clings onto a statue of the Pharoah Tutankhamen. He then screams louder and clings onto an over-sized robot. He then screams even louder and dashes away. And towards the end of the short, as the atmosphere becomes filled with ether, Bugs and the scientist are absolutely hilarious moving in slow motion as the latter chases the former.Last but not least, "Water, Water Every Hare" showcases the true genius of composer/orchestrator Carl W. Stalling. In this particular short, Stalling's music score is influenced by the Polish pianist/composer Frederic Chopin. During the opening rainfall scene, and a little later when the sleeping Bugs floats on his mattress heading towards the evil scientist's laboratory, the musical accompaniment is Chopin's "Raindrop" Prelude, Op. 28, No. 15. And when Bugs spots the mummy on his back, we hear just a snatch of Chopin's popular C-Minor Prelude, Op. 28, No. 20.
