Eupatorium

Water, Water Every Hare is a 1952 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Chuck Jones.^[2] The cartoon was released on April 19, 1952 and stars Bugs Bunny.^[3] The short is a return to the themes of the 1946 cartoon Hair-Raising Hare and brings the monster Gossamer back to the screen.

The title is a pun on the line "Water, water, everywhere / Nor any drop to drink" from the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The cartoon is available on Disc 1 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1.

After being displaced by a storm, Bugs Bunny finds himself in the castle of a mad scientist. The scientist, needing a brain for his robot, orders his orange, hairy monster, Rudolph, to capture Bugs. Bugs awakens under a mummy, panics, and flees. The frustrated scientist sends Rudolph to retrieve him, promising a reward. Bugs evades capture by impersonating a hairdresser and uses dynamite as curlers, leaving Rudolph bald.

Enraged, Rudolph chases Bugs to a chemical storage room. Bugs uses vanishing fluid to turn invisible and torments Rudolph, eventually shrinking him with reducing oil. The tiny Rudolph resigns and leaves through a mouse hole. Invisible Bugs celebrates, but the scientist makes him visible again, demanding his brain. Bugs refuses, and the scientist accidentally releases ether fumes, incapacitating them both. In a slow-motion chase, Bugs trips the scientist, who falls asleep.

Bugs, still in slow motion, prances away but trips and falls asleep in a stream that returns him to his flooded hole. Waking up, he thinks it was a nightmare until the miniature monster rows by, leaving Bugs bewildered.
