I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

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.

"The House of Tomorrow" is a great Tex Avery short which focuses in on the wonderful inventions certain to be part of our lives in the near future. Many of the gags are very clever and original. The machine designed to answer all of your children's questions is my favorite. Though, I give this short high marks, it still gets into a major rut. That being, the overuse of the Mother-in-law jokes. Those segments can only be called predictable, a word you'd almost never use to describe the work of Mr. Avery.
