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

Ickle -- or maybe it's Pickle -- bicycles into the woods and begins to snap photos of the wildlife. He runs into Pickle -- or maybe it's Ickle -- who is an identical individual in this, the last Black & White Terrytoon.It's a bit more deliberately silly than most Terrytoons, emphasized by Philip Scheib's musical score, which pairs piccolos and bicycle horns. Ickle and Pickle are human versions of the semi-identical teams with their matching catchphrases, like Disney's Chip 'n' Dale or Termite Terrace's Goofy Gophers or even Terry's Heckle & Jeckle. Their voices may be different but, like Laurel & Hardy, are two minds with not a single thought between them. They even wear derbies.It's an amusing cartoon, but with its deliberately old-fashioned look, it is clearly nostalgic. Paul Terry's staff had been making Technicolor cartoons for three years and would make no more black-and-white ones. The studio's future would lay, for the next ten years, with regular series. Mighty Mouse had already been introduced earlier in the year, Heckle & Jeckle were on the horizon and the Terry Bears were in the future... or maybe already in the wings, because a couple of bears run into Ickle and Pickle. Or maybe it's the other way around.
