House Hunting Mice

Set outside a model 'House of Tomorrow' known as the Super House, a demonstration of futuristic domestic tech designed by the spoof architect Frank Lloyd Wrong. The home showcases automated appliances like a phonograph launcher and a robotic sweeper, creating a glossy stage for gadgets. It serves as the comic playground where Hubie and Bertie test the devices, often with chaotic results.

🤖 Automation

The short uses the House of Tomorrow's gadgets to satirize promises of convenience, showing how automated appliances can both assist and complicate daily life. Hubie and Bertie's misadventures reveal the unpredictability of technology when humans (or mice) push the wrong buttons. The humor arises from robots malfunctioning, obeying quirky programming, and failing to anticipate human appetite and curiosity.

🧀 Greed

Cheese becomes the lure that drives the mice into the machine-filled trap, highlighting how desire leads to risky experimentation. The cheese dispenser and the ensuing chaos show the temptations of a gadget-filled home and the trouble that follows. The final wave of cleaning robots escalates the stakes, turning a simple snack chase into a chaotic escape.
