'Moose on the Loose' is mid-level Heckle and Jeckle. Although I'm a fan of the two magpies, I'm always faintly annoyed by Jeckle's alleged English accent, which wouldn't fool anyone in Britain. For some reason, in 'Moose on the Loose' his accent is even dodgier (and more elaborate) than usual.
Trying to spot continuity errors in a cartoon is a mug's game, but 'Moose on the Loose' is even slacker with continuity than it needs to be, with the magpies wearing hunting outfits that disappear and reappear for no reason.
The two lads decide to hunt a moose, and naturally the moose doesn't like this. I thought the premise was a slightly odd one for Heckle and Jeckle, who more typically play confidence tricksters.
There's one very funny female-impersonation sequence here, with Heckle and Jeckle sharing a panto costume to impersonate a female moose. My rating for this toon: 5 out of 10.
