You are right, Norm. He does a scottish accent. I stand corrected. So is the movie based on an Irish or Scottish story?

Myers is known for his Scottish accent/characters, not Irish.

What a large collection of eccentric performances.

Thank you, Alan, for explaining. Now I remember Myers’ very irritating fake Irish accent in Shrek. I wonder what Irish people think of it.

While I’m into wondering: I wonder if the Pixar voices are “real” Irish, or dehydrated Instant Irish. I think I shall devote my life to uncovering The Truth in this affair.

And now the biggest question: does the entire nation of Ireland also remind us of Mike Myers? If so, keep quiet about it the next time you’re in Dublin.

@Katherine – Mike Meyer’s voiced Shrek and in several movies and comedy sketches does a thick Irish accent.

“Look at the size of that boy’s heed.
I’m not kidding, it’s like an orange on a toothpick.
Well, that’s a huge noggin. That’s a virtual planetoid.
Has it’s own weather system.
HEAD! MOVE!”

How does this remind one of Mike Myers? I’m really bad on “pop-culture references”. This has me worried, as I never want to be reminded of Myers.
