Review:

In ‘Wet Hare’ Bugs Bunny battles one ‘Black Jack Shellac’ over a waterfall which the apparently French Canadian wants to dam (we’ll never know why).

The gags are not as they could have been due to McKimson’s all to relaxed timing and the talkative characters. Nevertheless, Bugs’ final scheme is a fine one, as are his Al Jolson-impersonations when singing under the waterfall, which mean that Mel Blanc manages to make Bugs Bunny sound like himself and like Al Jolson at the same time!

Watch ‘Wet Hare’ yourself and tell me what you think:

This is Bugs Bunny cartoon No. 156
To the previous Bugs Bunny cartoon: Prince Violent
To the next Bugs Bunny cartoon: Bill of Hare

‘Wet Hare’ is available on the Blu-Ray ‘Looney Tunes Collector’s Choice Vol. 3’
