Английская Википедия:Design for Leaving
Шаблон:Infobox film Design for Leaving is a 1954 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes theatrical animated short directed by Robert McKimson.[1] The cartoon was released on March 27, 1954 and stars Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd.[2] The title is a parody of the Design for Living House, House No. 4 in the Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition at the Century of Progress, the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago.
Plot
Daffy Duck is a persuasive salesman from the Acme Future-Antic Push-Button Home of Tomorrow Household Appliance Company, Inc. He barges into Elmer Fudd's home offering a free trial of modern household appliances, but his relentless sales pitch lands Elmer on a bus to Duluth, Minnesota against his will.
Upon Elmer's return, he finds his house transformed into a chaotic maze of malfunctioning gadgets. Despite Elmer's protests, Daffy continues to demonstrate the absurdity of the automated home, leading to comedic disasters like wallpaper removal and window bricking. Elmer finally snaps and demands the removal of the gadgets.
In a twist of fate, Elmer activates a mysterious red button, triggering a mechanism that elevates his house into the air. Daffy, now the victim of Elmer's revenge, flies by in a helicopter offering a solution at a price.
Production notes
Design for Leaving reflects on the traditional door-to-door sales approach reminiscent of the "Yankee Peddler" era, as well as the contemporary direct-selling methods used by companies like Kirby Company vacuum cleaners and Fuller brushes. The film juxtaposes this with the post-World War II trend towards automation and modernization in U.S. homes. Acme's innovations, while ahead of the 1933 Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition, predating The Jetsons (1962) by a decade with its depiction of robot maids and household gadgetry.
