In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

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.

...Which proven again, that Bugs Bunny HAVE disposed of the monster, once and forever! The slo-mo chase is a Classic!!! So does the shrinking of the monster, and the ending!
