Hare-Do

**Hare-Do** is a 1984 Sammy Rabbit and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoon directed by Tex Avery that was released on February 25, 1984.

## Plot

The cartoon begins with Sammy frantically golfing, and there are holes and broken golf clubs everywhere, it is then revealed that he's been trying to hit a golfball for so long he created a giant crater on the ground, after a while of this, he spots a helpless, innocent fellow rabbit stuck on a tree branch, Sammy feels a pang of guilt and so he tries to help him, and after Sammy falls off the tree multiple times, he gets Oswald out, and sets him free.

Immediately after this, Oswald wonders off into a nearby construction zone conveniently placed right next to the golf course, and walks by a steamroller, Sammy rushes and pushes Oswald to safety, only for Sammy to be flattened by the steamroller himself.

Sammy blows on his thumb and is de-flattened, as he tries to attempt to regain self-consciousness, but before he does, Oswald is on a busy road, so Sammy comes and saves Oswald's life again and Sammy is the one who gets run over multiple times. And before Sammy can even think, A comically large boulder is about to fall on Oswald, Sammy pushes Oswald away but now the boulder falls on Sammy, turning him into a literal rabbit pancake.

Sammy gets tired of all the running around, his eyes (suddenly in the style of a car full-empty with his pupil near the empty as a quick gag). And so passes out on the ground, but then suddenly he hears a loud sound, which is a plane, and conveniently Oswald somehow is holding for dear life, Sammy, now somehow equipped with springs that bounce extremely high, bounces to the plane, but now he's holding for dear life. They do this for assumingly hours across the Atlantic ocean and fall in a random location in Switzerland.

As they fall into a clock shop in the middle of Alpine nowhere in Switzerland, even gravity seems to like Oswald more than Sammy, as Oswald goes into a carpet soft chimney and then lands onto a soft pillow as Sammy hits face-first on the wooden floor. Now finally pissed off, Sammy says, "Ehh, Well, He don't know *me* that well do he?" as he approaches Oswald who is unsuspecting of the mallet Sammy's holding, the camera cuts to a cuckoo clock, who watches them and then he whacks him in the head (offscreen) who then proceeds to comically wail "Oh my widdle head! Oh my widdle spine!", the cuckoo then pulls out a sign reading "**He Dood It!"** as it irises out.

## Notes

* This is the only Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon that features Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, referred to as just "Oswald Rabbit" here. Who is still in his finalized more realistic and "cutesy" design that was used by Universal since 1975. Universal gave it to MGM after Universal's "The Cracker Egg Suite" (1983).
	+ Oswald's first cartoon was in 1967 albeit in a very different design.
	+ This is also Oswald's second cartoon to be in color.
	+ Oswald would appear again in Hare Loss (1986) but his design is once again heavily altered, with his fur/hair becoming brown and him becoming more upright and skinny, looking like a brown Bugs Bunny, his personality being more like his, also.
* This is Sammy Rabbit's second and last appearance, although his design changed heavily since Elmer's Pet Rabbit. Screwy Squirrel later served as his "replacement".
* The title is a pun on "Hairdo", a makeup product.
* Other than the final lines in the end of the short, this short has no dialogue.
