During his tenure at MGM, Tex Avery made some of the very best cartoon shorts ever made. Unfortunately, towards the end, I noticed a drop in the overall quality of the films he directed at MGM. Much of it is because he did what many other animators did in the mid-1950s...they switched to a much simpler and more garish animation style. Backgrounds were no longer finely detailed and bright colors often were used in place of details. And, the animation itself was simplified. But this is not the main problem with "The Farm of Tomorrow". The main problem is that this one just isn't all that funny and it's pretty forgettable...something you'd never say about earlier cartoons such as "Swingshift Cinderella" and "The Little 'Tinker".
