Did Mother Nature mess up her lines?


She tells the Heat Miser to allow for one warm day at the North Pole and tells Snow Miser to allow for snow to fall in Southtown. Shouldn't it be the opposite with each brother allowing a weather abnormality in their respective hemispheres?

reply

YES!!!! I sat and thought about her words, and the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't believe that such a blatant mistake was made during the scripting stage. Further, we never do get to see warm weather at the North Pole (an event that I suspect would destroy the planet).

I notice there's a whole thread on this further down the page.

Good point. Phineas, I noticed that too. Another error was both Heat Miser and Snow Miser initially refusing their mom's orders. Why would Heat Miser refuse? Aren't those the terms HE HIMSELF laid out not 5 minutes earlier?

reply

Heat Miser wanted control of the North Pole. He ended up getting one day of "nice" weather at the North Pole.



Didn't I ever tell you about Bumbles? Bumbles bounce!

It seemed right to me. They were each allowing something not usual in their own territory but not permanently giving up control of said territory.
