1. Geordies and Edinburgh Scots have partial Norse/Viking ancestry..but the Celtic Scots....not really. But that's not really much different than Disney making every ancient people speak with American accents...or British, even, supposedly at a time when the English language didn't even exist. Either way, it was really good movie.
2. does that mean they are scandalous flyers?
3. vikings are scandinavian...
4. Yes, let's get all technical with an animated movie because he's a Scottish Viking. People will argue over anything.
5. I too thought it was weird that they chose Scottish people to play Vikings but hey the same cane be said for the Scottish Greeks in 300. Anyway, the longer Craig has been in America the more his accent has faded, I think in this movie he brought back his old stronger accent.
6. They don't speak English.
7. The Norsemen were from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Not only did they heavily influence Scotland, but they colonised the Ukraine and Russia, becoming the first nobles of both countries. A Viking was a word meaning long voyage in old Norse. Ferguson should have been given a role in the Hobbit, oh well.
8. Same reason Dwarves are Scottish. Because it works
9. oh yes we are!
10. There were Scottish Vikings too!
11. I agree, the movie would be weird if the vikings spoke English like Thor Heyerdahl.. I'm Norwegian too.
12. LOTS OF PLACES HAVE A SCOTLAND.
13. itd get boring if EVERYONE had a swedish accent. they mix it up.
14. Not swedish.
15. Vikings invaded Scotland aswell as Sweden and Norway, the espec ially invaded and colonized Shetland which is a Scottish island above the mainland of Scotland. I grew up in Shetland and we celebrated Up-Helly-Ah which is to commemorate the Vikings.
16. How to train your dragon is primarly made for an American/English speaking audience. Now.. If they're going for one of the most earliest.. brutish English accents closest to the North.. Scottish accent is one of the first ones that will strike your mind. That, and it's fairly close to Norway. Anyway, Scottish accents are much more natural and pleasant sounding than Norwegian people pretending to be English. It wouldn't fit in with the high quality this movie has going for it. (I'm Norwegian)
17. gargoyle!! no you are NOT the only one! Thats my awnser to that question, Louise!
18. so I wasn't the only one to have noticed that!
19. BECAUSE THEY CAN BE
20. "talented talk show host" understatement of the century.
21. I guess Scottish is something new for vikings in this show! ^_^
22. Not JUST Swedish And Norwegian, But the Scottish Accents sound more.. Vikingy, And also, The Scottish vikings where more.. Barbarous. Hope this sorts it? ouo HECK YEA FOR ME. I ISH VIKING. ROR. XDDD
23. If everybody wants it to be in swedish, norweiegen accent or whatever just watch the dubbed, i'm from sweden and i think the dubbs here is pretty good!
24. For you maybe I was cool. Lol
25. I'm from norway, and I love the fact that they actually used scottish voices for the adults. They seem more old-fashion that way, compared to the teenagers, who speaks american. Wouldn't it be rather stupid if they made the original dub norwegian/swedish/danish, and they dub it in english, so the rest of the world could understand it? Just a thought.
