My short, Shadow Puppet starring Bruce and George

This is a short I've been working on for years. I redesigned the main characters and changed the story a bit.
I haven't added any sound to it. I'm hoping people that view it will give me their honest opinion. Can you tell what is happening without sound? Does the pace seem alright? Is there something that I can add to explain things better?
I'm open to any ideas or opinions to making a great short. Thanks!
