This film will forever be known as the first film ever to feature Heckle and Jeckle, the talking magpies.Why the world wanted them, I don?t know, but there they are! The film actually is quite amusing, featuring A dog that looks a lot like Gromit, and several radio personalities (I recognized the Bickersons and The Shadow). Still wondering about the ?Little Flower? refernce though. Also has a ?here we go again? bit, which I love.

This was an okay “talking magpie” cartoon, which means it has decent animation, no story, and obnoxious lead characters. Funny that the original magpies were man and wife; obviously they aren’t Heckle and Jeckle.
“The Little Flower” was a popular nickname given to
Fiorello La Guardia, mayor of New York City. Fiorello is Italian for “little flower” and La Guardia was short of stature, so the name stuck.
