Mutt

Is it just me or is it that our only Australian dinosaur representative in the Land Before Time is so stupid?

I am NOT happy about that! Also, how in the t.v series, it is shown that he can't swim either? Are you joking me!

I personally don't know a singe home-grown Australian that is totally incompetent in their swimming ability.

But, yet again the movies and the t.v show were made by Americans...

I'm sorry but, what? Australian? Are you talking about the accent of the voice actor that plays Mutt? Never noticed that before. Then again, I don't usually recognize accents. Heck, half the time I don't even realize there IS an accent. I deal with so many different types of people from all over the world. A lot of Indians especially (people native to India, NOT Native American's). Their accent is pretty recognizable. But other than Indians and some Nigerians, I don't normally even realize there's an accent.

No, not the actor, the dinosaur! Mutt is a Muttaburrasaurus. Go look it up landbeforetimelover.

But on a (just slightly more) serious note, when selecting Hyp's, Nod's and Mutt's species, it really is as if numerous species names were written on pieces of paper, mixed inside a hat, and the species written on the first three papers that were pulled out were given the honour of appearing in the Time of the Great Giving.

I'm not saying they were selected exactly that way, but it seems not much thought was given to the reasons of the selection.

Dude, I didn't even realize he's an Aussie :blink:

. Seriously, I don't think there was an intentional link between his nationality and dumbing down his intelligence.
