94
95* TheKidsAreAmerican: ''Every single member'' of the parents' generation speaks with a Scottish accent. ''Every single member'' of Hiccup's speaks with an American one. WordOfGod is that this was intentional to make the younger generation more relatable to the Western (read: American) audience and to underscore the divide between the traditionalist adults and the modern, progressive youth.
