Bugs Bunny - 171 - Wet Hare

Wet Hare is a 1962 animated short film in the Looney Tunes series produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons, Inc. In the cartoon, Bugs Bunny finds himself at odds with Blacque Jacque Shellacque, a ruthless lumberjack with a French Canadian accent who wants to control the water supply by building a series of dams. The title is a pun on “hair/hare“. __________ Bugs Bunny is taking his morning shower under a waterfall, singing “April Showers“ (à lá Al Jolson) when the water stops flowing. He decides that beavers are responsible and, after a brief delirium that the supply has permanently dried up, climbs up the waterfall to the source of the problem. The source of the problem turns out to be the villainous Blacque Jacque Shellacque, who has built an illegal rock dam in an effort to control the water supply and sell it at inflated prices.
