Miser Brothers

Why leave well enough alone when you can, you know, not?

In 2008, the popular Rankin/Bass characters, the Miser Brothers, were revived for a sequel special. The original voice of the Heat Miser, George S. Irving, was still alive and returned to perform the character once again.

This modern special sought to recreate the original style of Rankin/Bass stop-motion animation and is largely successful, although improvements to the technology and techniques of stop-motion animation couldn't help but to have an effect on the finished look.

Here's the new rendition of the Heat Miser/Snow Miser song. (For the original version, click here.)
