Storyline

Bugs Bunny is too sound a sleeper to notice that a sudden rainstorm has flooded his rabbit hole and sent his mattress, with him on it, floating downstream toward a castle with helpful neon signs that say "Evil Scientist" and "Boo." Said Evil Scientist needs a brain for his mechanical monster, and when he sees Bugs Bunny floating by, decides a rabbit's brain is as good as any other. Bugs Bunny awakens to the horror of reposing mummies, an Evil Scientist with a huge, green head and an enormous robot waiting for its brain. Bugs tries to escape, but the scientist sends Rudolph after him. Rudolph is an unlikely beast covered with orange fur; it wears sneakers, but why not? Who says monsters don't have sensitive feet? Bugs poses as a chatty hairdresser, uses vanishing fluid on himself, and pours reducing fluid on the beast to thwart him. But Bugs's only weapon against the Evil Scientist will be a broken bottle of ether. Will it be enough?

Bugs Scores Another Big One!

A sudden rainstorm floods Bugs Bunny's rabbit hole and puts him in the path of an Evil Scientist and of Rudolph, a beast that is covered in orange fur and shod in sneakers. I saw this a long time ago, much like some other cartoons that I have seen, and watching this, I found it to be very funny! If you ask me, Bugs Bunny scores another big one, he is in another hysterical cartoon short that certainly manages to bring out quite a big number of laughs! I'm sorry if I have a lack of originality when I write reviews for cartoons like this one, but I just happen to love Looney Tunes!

Out of all the years that I have been watching Looney Tunes, and out of all of the cartoons that I have seen, I have yet to see one that I thought was bad. There are some of them that I like better than other ones, but I haven't seen one that I absolutely hated or even disliked. Out of all of the Looney Tunes characters, my favorite is of course, the one that we all know and love, that Wascally Wabbit, Bugs Bunny, he is a timeless, classic, and hilarious cartoon character. Once upon a time, I said that I hoped that I never grew old enough not to like Looney Tunes, and I haven't, I love them to this day!

So in short, Water, Water Every Hare is another big one for that hysterical Wabbit, Bugs Bunny. If you haven't seen it already, watch it, it is a laugh fest from start to finish! Granted, it is only about a seven or eight minute long one, but a funny laugh-fest nevertheless. It's really amazing that in a really short film that is only about eight minutes long, there can be a really big amount of laughs, that's a rarity in movies itself nowadays. So if you want to see something really funny, then watch this, because it really is really funny!
