Hair-Raising Hare is a Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon, released on May 25, 1946. It was directed by Chuck Jones and written by Tedd Pierce. It stars Bugs Bunny and features the first appearance of Chuck Jones' imposing orange monster character, unnamed here, but in later cartoons named "Rudolph" and then "Gossamer".
Voice Cast:
Mel Blanc as Bugs Bunny, Gossamer and Scientist

Notes:
This is the first short to use the 1946-47 rings, evident from blue rings, one red ring, and red background.
This was the final appearance of Chuck Jones' Bugs Bunny design, as starting with his next Bugs Bunny cartoon (A Feather in His Hare), he would use Robert McKimson's design for the character.
After, many Bugs cartoon titles that substituted "hare" for "hair" in a punny way, this title includes both words, as homophones.
This short was later remade as ("Water, Water Every Hare").
