"Dog Gone Modern" is a short from Looney Tunes that was no doubt inspired from model homes created for the World's Fair. These homes featured all sorts of supposed time saving gadgetry.
The story begins with two dogs coming upon a model home which is ultra-modern. After getting inside, all sorts of mayhem ensue as the robotic time savers run amok and abuse the poor pooches.
Had I never seen "Design for Leaving", a later Looney Tunes short starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, I might have enjoyed "Dog Gone Modern" a bit more. "Design" offered couple things "Dog Gone Modern" didn't--interesting characters and lots of great gags. Instead, "Dog Gone Modern" is pretty dull and easy to skip. Additionally, my daughter complained how in "Dog Gone Modern" the theme seemed to be animal abuse...making it a big unsavory to watch.
