KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . 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!
phantom_tollbooth Chuck Jones's 'Water, Water Every Hare' is significantly better than its truly dreadful title. Pitting Bugs against a bulbously headed green faced scientist and his furry orange, sneaker wearing monster (later dubbed Gossamer but here referred to as Rudolph), 'Water, Water Every Hare' features some breathtaking visuals in the opening minutes. His home beset by flooding, an oblivious, soundly-sleeping Bugs is washed away on his mattress. This sequence is glorious to behold with its flowing water and cascading waterfall. Ultimately, this watery subplot plays only a small part in the cartoon, making the dreadful title even more unforgivable. Most of the action takes place inside the castle. The most famous sequence is the hairdressing scene in which Bugs assumes the role of a camp beautician spouting a monologue about all the "inter-resting" monsters he's met (this is actually a rehash of a similar routine in the previous Gossamer cartoon 'Hair-Raising Hare'). Far more memorable, however, is the climactic chase scene in which Bugs and the green faced scientist are both under the influence of ether and bound across the screen in slow motion. It's an appropriately striking climax to a particularly handsome and dreamlike cartoon which proves to be inventive and entertaining in equal measures. A lesser talked-about classic, no less.
ccthemovieman-1 Bugs is flooded out of his hole, still asleep in bed. The bed floats for miles and winds up at an "evil castle" (it says so in neon lights!) with a green-headed Boris Karloff-imitated voiced Dr. Frankenstein guy in charge. Bugs finally wakes up, sees all the crazy sights, panics and runs. The scientist unleashes his reddish-orange hairy monster "Rudolph" to capture the rabbit.I enjoyed the artwork in this animated short, but the story didn't have a lot of laughs, certainly as much as it should have had considering the premise.
MartinHafer 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.
