Nice effects though.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons.Also have much admiration for Tex Avery, an animation genius whose best cartoons are animated masterpieces and some of the best he ever did. 'The House of Tomorrow' is another example of an animated masterpiece and one of his all time best. Like the best of Tex Avery, 'The House of Tomorrow' is a cartoon of amazing quality, is very creative and hilarious as one would expect from Avery on top form like he is here. Even when he wasn't at his best, he still delivered, have yet to see a "bad" effort from him.Simply love the house of tomorrow/of the future, it is so cool and makes one wish that they had the appliances that are as innovative as the plot summary suggests. Particularly loved the automatic orange juicer, the radishes device and the guest chair. 'The House of Tomorrow' is somewhat of the time, but it also feels ahead of its time.The characters are great fun. The mother-in-law is a riot and the jokes around her are deliciously witty and sly, personally didn't think they were that over-used. The voice work is terrific, which is not unexpected.Avery does a wonderful job directing, with his unique, unlike-any-other visual and characteristic and incredibly distinctive wacky humour style all over it as can be expected.Once again there is nothing sadistic or repetitious, instead it's imaginative, wonderfully wild, rapid-fire, razor-sharp and hilarious throughout from start to finish. The sight gags throughout are an absolute joy and are immaculate in timing.It is no surprise either that the animation is superb, being rich in colour and detail. The character designs are unique, Avery always did have creative character designs, and suitably fluid. The music, courtesy of Scott Bradley, is lushly and cleverly orchestrated, with lively and energetic rhythms and fits very well indeed.Summing up, another Avery masterpiece. 10/10 Bethany Cox

From director Tex Avery, one of the most celebrated cartoon directors at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, we get a glimpse of "The House of Tomorrow"! This modernized house is extremely (un)comfortable and user-(un)friendly, and, as is always the case with Tex Avery, plenty of wonderful sight gags abound with all the various household electronic devices, buttons, and gadgets.Here are a couple of my favorite jokes and sight gags within "The House of Tomorrow." The mother-in-law is clearly given her due respect with the house's various entrances, medicine cabinets, and the all-purpose guest chair. I also like the automatic orange juicer, which spits the seeds from the oranges, and the device that removes the burps from the radishes.If you'd like to live in a domicile that is quite different from the norm, try "The House of Tomorrow." You'll never regret it.....or maybe you will.

I have to admit that I only loosely know Tex Avery's work (namely that it was the inspiration for "The Mask"), but "The House of Tomorrow" is still a treat. A look at how people in 1949 imagined that future dwellings would be - think "The Jetsons" - there are some things that might eat at us in the 21st century, namely the fact that the cartoon envisions housewives staying home cooking and cleaning while their husbands go to work.But, as long as we understand that this cartoon was a product of its era, we can accept it for what it is. And I think that everyone can agree about the mother-in-law; it looks like they were talking about Endora on "Bewitched". In conclusion, this cartoon will always remain a classic! And about that woman on dad's TV: meow meow...

This is a very good cartoon from Tex Avery, a master of the art form known as the animated short. Avery typically came up with a premise, often an innocuous one and then proceeded to do the most outlandish and ridiculous sight gags imaginable fired rapidly at the audience starting from the basic idea. Usually, there is a running gag threading its way throughout the short. This time, Avery is ostensibly giving his ausience a look at the house of tomorrow. Hilarious and glorious fun. Highly recommended.
