Likely the voice actor, Dick Shawn, who is legendary in comedy. It is said even Andy Kaufman was a big fan of his. The irony? He was doing a southern swing but was from Buffalo, NY. He died as he lived on the edge at times, he was doing a stage performance and went silent for a few minutes, the audience thought it was part of his act, someone backstage performed CPR, but it was too late.
The one and only complaint I have with the misers’ voice acting is that “100’s a breeze” isn’t pronounced clearly enough for him to beat the Bad Rhymer allegations lol
When I was in high school, 10th grade I did a hair show because I wanted to be a model. My hair was cut into a diamond shape with the ends bleached and dyed red. When I went to school Monday morning I renamed. "Heat Miser" 😮😮😮😶😶😶🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had recently turned 15 when this came out, so it's after my time. But I like kids' stuff anyway, and The Miser Brothers' scene is entertaining for any age!

This song and Frosty the Snowman mean the world to me They got me through the hardest December of my life Without them my December would have been nothing Because my grandmother died she lived with me she was like a mother to me More than my actual mother And when this happened My dad gave me a spinning snowflake Frosty the Snowman And for my birthday I got the snow miser snow man They are making my life easier and happier
The movie was apparently first shown when I was a teenager, though I don't think I saw it then. This scene is one of the best of everything that ever came from Rankin/Bass! Notice that not only does Heat's round head and hair suggest the sun, but Snow's head and face resemble a classic crescent man-in-the-moon face with icicles added.
Am I the only one who really likes the slightly sped up Heat Miser song? It compliments Snow Miser very nicely, since it feels like a different key rather than just a slowed down same key and I think that's neat.
We are a rare breed I see with so much love for snow miser .... All I know is I never knew the words to their songs BUT I always retained "IM MISTER HEAT MISER" because it sounded more fitting than saying "IM MR SNOW MISER" lol I also think HEAT is a stronger statement than SNOW. In my conspiratorial mind I could have picked up on the juxtaposition of HEAT with SNOW where it SHOULD BE HEAT vs COLD! So I think I had picked up on the sheer DISINGENUOUSNESS of SNOW miser where HEAT MISER is again a more GENUINE idea all around ...yes ....I got very deep with this we won't even go with the subtle RACIAL undertones here! LOL but let's just say SNOW miser lived in a heavenly abode where clearly HEAT MISER was in some form of a HELLISH realm! now miser was very white but also with more human features...what the hell kinda creature was HEAT MISER ...he literally has Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer's nose it was ANYTHING but human like for coloration (red?) alone it should have been the same color as Mr HEAT miser's FACE at the very least. YET and STILL HEAT MISER made more sense to me and when I wd go to sing the song I would ALWAYS sing the bit that says I'm Mister HEAT MISER even tho that's basically all the lyrics I knew it stayed with me where mentally I never retained SNOW MISER's name .... because I was so oriented toward HEAT MISER I just thought the other one is maybe COLD miser but I think I actually thought it was ICE MISER even over SNOW....so I was never sure what his name was without having to watch the movie again ...and now I see why SNOW miser is a way to avoid the NEGATIVE aspects of COLD and ICE....when you go with SNOW it kinda makes one focus on snow flakes and the WHITENESS 😁😁😁 of it all where cold is about just a temperature that means you might WANT more MR HEAT to be WARM instead of COLD! Although the argument can be made that HOT MISER might be the opposite of COLD ...but that's the point the two words HEAT vs SNOW are NOT really the best words to play off of each other regardless LOL anyway.....none of this is against Mr. Snow Miser or Mr. Heat Miser just their creators LOL
Snow Miser's version Snow Miser: I'm Mister White Christmas, I'm Mister Snow. I'm Mister Icicle; I'm Mister Ten below. Friends call me Snow Miser, whatever I touch, turns to snow in my clutch. I'm too much. Minions: He's Mister White Christmas, he's Mister Snow. Snow Miser: That's right! Minions: He's Mister Icicle; he's Mister Ten below. Snow Miser: Friends call me Snow Miser, whatever I touch, turns to snow in my clutch. Minions: He's too much. I never want to know a day that's over 40°, I'd rather have it 30, 20, 10, 5 and let it freeeee-eeeeze...! Minions: He's Mister White Christmas, he's Mister Snow. Snow Miser: That's right! Minions: He's Mister Icicle; he's Mister Ten below. Snow Miser: Friends call me Snow Miser, whatever I touch, turns to snow in my clutch. Too much. Minions: Too much! Heat Miser's version Heat Miser: I'm Mister Green Christmas, I'm Mister Sun. I'm Mister Heat Blister, I'm Mister 101. They call me Heat Miser, whatever I touch, starts to melt in my clutch. I'm too much. Minions: He's Mister Green Christmas, he's Mister Sun. He's Mister Heat Blister, he's Mister 101. Heat Miser: They call me Heat Miser, whatever I touch, starts to melt in my clutch. Minions: He's too much. Heat Miser: Thank you. I never want to know a day that's under 60°, I'd rather have it 80, 90, 100's a breeze! [speech] Oh, some like it hot, but I like it really hot! [chortles] Minions: He's Mister Green Christmas, he's Mister Sun. Heat Miser: Sing it! Minions: He's Mister Heat Blister, he's Mister 101. Heat Miser: They call me Heat Miser, whatever I touch, starts to melt in my clutch. I'm too much. Minions: Too much!
Thing about snow miser is he likes it cold, but realistically cold. In all reality, hed probably never let the temperatures go beyond freezing, but less than that, hed probably have it maybe 100s or 1000s below, but he knows no life can survive in that. Same with heat miser, he likes heat hot enough to melt rock but of course life cant survive in those temperatures and theres no point in Christmas if everyones melted. So he simply asks for green Christmas for everyone while snow miser just wants snow. But they can take the temperatures so their cave areas are, in snow misers case, frozen, and in heat misers case, on fire. Because they really would want it that way, but thats insane. And thats why they say in their songs that their “too much” as in too much for life to exist. Side note: snow miser wants nothing over 40, while heat miser wants nothing under 60. They both agree that 50° is the least ideal temperature
That’s because it’s sped up and altered; the original song was sung at a slower tempo and Heat Miser’s voice was deeper; I guess they sped up the song to avoid a copyright strike.
What I want : Snow miser -my joints can’t take the cold neither can my knuckles via chapped-ness what I need : Heat miser - my nose can’t stand the heat (ie nose bleed)
