My beloved father and I have spotted a trend over the Christmas holidays in films (mainly childrens ones but some adult films too)...
If there is a disagreeable, sometimes technologically adverse character (or has urges to plunder and pillage villages frequently), they are usually male, large, with manic hair (mostly ginger/red), a foul temper and they are undoubtedly SCOTTISH.
(for those of you who do not recognise them; Picture 1 is Stoick from How to Train Your Dragon, Picture 2 is King Fergus from Brave, Picture 3 is Ben and Lon from Pocahontas, and Picture 4 is Scrooge McDuck - and a bit of trivia Ben (with the dark hair) and King Fergus are both voiced by Billy Conolly)
And yes I am aware that technically Scrooge McDuck is a duck but if we dont include certain factors, we also get Shrek, Amy Pond (the Doctors Companion), Taggart, James Bond (after Sean Connery played him, he had a Scottish father), Richard Hannay (hes from 'The 39 Step's' for you people who don't believe in classic films), as well as Fat Bastard (for those of you who watch only crap films), we can even include Macbeth and William Wallace if you really want to cover some historical bases.
Stereotyping at its best ladies and gentlemen =)
(I would be tempted to include my mother in this as she's Scottish, has red hair, sometimes a bad temper and urges to plunder and pillage - my bank account, but I dont think it would be a wise move ;) )
Anyway to end this post, I won't rant, I am going to wish you all a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year..... and remind you all that
