TEX AVERY'S TOMORROW

I was very pleased to recently discover all four of Tex Avery's "...of Tomorrow" series of cartoons on YouTube which consists of several of my all time favorite shorts. Some of the humor is eye-rollingly stale, but the mid-century aesthetic, the retro future, the soothing narrator, the masterful animation, and the rapid-fire sight gags still make these toons extremely watchable. As a kid I waded through countless hours of Tom and Jerry to get a glimpse of these as well as Avery's other unique creations that didn't rely on animated star power (i. e. One Cab's Family, The Cat that Hated People, etc.). Enjoy...

House of Tomorrow (1949)
