Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile Don Messick is heard on some prints of the cartoon, his voice was a "looping" of the scene about the pressure cooker. The original narration referenced the year 1975 as being the "tomorrow" of the title, so the line was redone by Messick (Frank Graham having died years before) to advance the year of the future to 2050.
- GoofsWhen the table with the automatic sandwich maker is first shown, the salami and bread plates are in the middle of the table. Then, before the arms extend from the appliance, the plates are on each side of the sandwich maker. The machine then slices the bread and salami into two stacks and shuffles them like a deck of cards. In the next shot, when the sandwich maker is "dealing" out the combined stack of components, only bread slices hit the plates with no sandwiches being made; plus, the remaining loaf of bread and salami both have vanished.

Featured review
One amazing house of the future
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
