Heckle and Jeckle try to steal food from under the watchful eye of Dimwit the dog.

Reviews
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Tweekums This short once again sees the talking magpies Heckle and Jeckle trying to outsmart Dimwit the dog. Here they are helping themselves to the farm's apples and he is trying to stop them. As expected they routinely outsmart him; at one point tricking him into fighting with a scarecrow then accusing him of murder when its head falls off! After numerous attempts to stop then Dimwit finally admits defeat and helps them load their wheelbarrow with food and even his doghouse; for this they reward him with a big cake with a stick of dynamite for a candle! Fans of the two anarchic magpies should love this; the story is much the same as ever but there are some great gags; I particularly liked the whole scarecrow sequence. I suspect the creators must have started to thing Heckle and Jeckle got away with too much as here they ultimately end up suffering for their cruelty. Sid Raymond does a fine job providing the voices; I like how Heckle and Jeckle sound less cartoony than most animated characters.
