Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
etoiwins The model the female model in this cartoon is not Irene Dunn! Irene for one thing was a Burnette the girl in the cartoon is a blonde! Also the girl in the Bikini is very young. Irene was born in 1898 she would of been over 50 years old when this cartoon was made!IMDb is becoming more and more inaccurate. I don't know who the Bikini girl is yet.Its safe to say it is not Irene Dunn. The bikini girl does look like Virginia Mayo.It is possible that it could very well be her seeing she was working at MGM at the same time .It was either a very young stock footage of Virginia Mayo or it was stock footage of another girl during the same time era.
slymusic 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.
Lee Eisenberg 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...
Squonk "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.
