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.

The Deliberate Pacing Makes It Seem Slower For An Avery Cartoon
Here's one of Tex Avery's cartoons on a theme, to wit: the latest and proposed advanced in the details and technology for living at home.
The gags are as good as Avery's usual, and the pacing likewise. It is, however, the narration which sets the pace, and makes them seem more deliberate that slows it down. I am certain there are as many gags as usual, the artwork is up to standard -- it would shortly begin to go downhill under the pressure of shrinking budgets -- but the narration, while perhaps necessary, makes them seem less spontaneous than usual.
Which makes this merely a fine, funny cartoon.
