is a 1949 animated theatrical short directed by Tex Avery. It was part of a series of cartoons Avery did satirizing technology of the future which included: The Car of Tomorrow, The Farm of Tomorrow, and The TV of Tomorrow. These were satires of live action promotional films that were commonly shown in theaters at the time.
The film is a straight forward narrated showcase of appliances said to be found in a typical house in the year 2050, roughly a hundred years after the cartoon was made, each one actually an outlandish joke. Most of the time the inventions following a similar pattern of being made for each member of the family ending with a fatal version for the "mother-in-law".
•The episode starts as the narrator presents the audience "The House of Tomorrow", completely "re-fabricated and ready to set up" (all in one little wrapped up gift).
•The narrator, whose voice is provided by radio actor Frank Graham. presents the doors for each member of the family: one for Fido (the dog), Junior (the child, which is stained with muddy handprints), the Mother (which is widened to accommodate her hips - "she just loves sweets"), the Father (a saloon doorway), and the mother-in-law (with chains, locks and welcome mat that reads "SCRAM").
•Inside the house, the narrator talks about the thick carpeting. The butler gets into the carpet and he sinks deeply inside it.
•The narrator then presents how to get moisture in the room. Just pressing a button reveals a rain cloud that floats across the room.
•Next is the trophy room "where it contains many rare exhibits of the hunt". The trophy of an elk shows that it was killed June 8, 1925, a ram was killed April 20, 1933, a tiger was killed September 3, 1942, and a champagne bottle was killed New Year's Eve (for which the song Auld Lang Syne is heard played on a wobbly violin).
•Next is for those whose house has that "too-rich appearance" and if those "mean tax assessors knocks on your [audience] door". With a press of a button, the house (along with the husband and wife) will look poor.
