I remember when I was a kid and I'd watch Looney Toons, there would sometimes be a series of cartoons that was about the "Home of Tomorrow". For some reason, I think they were Disney productions. Basically, they would show all the features of a 50's era home of the future. They were narrated and were really funny.

Anyone know what I'm talking about. I'd love to have these on DVD.

Not exact, but this is kind of the style of what I mean

I know the ones you are talking about, and they were definitely WB, not Disney; although Disney did something similar.

The House of Tomorrow (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0041488/combined)
Car of Tomorrow (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0043381/combined)
TV of Tomorrow (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0046393/combined)
All three were MGM shorts and probably now all owned by WB. "The House of Tomorrow" is available on the Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House DVD. Dunno about the others on DVD, but the soundtrack to "TV of Tomorrow" is on a CD called Tex Avery Classics.
There was also a Porky and Daffy cartoon called Design for Leaving (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0046902/combined) that had a "modern home" theme, too.

And then there's the one(or two?) with the dogs that stumble into a house of the future with the sweeper machine that keeps popping out to clean up their messes.
