WHY are there no Disney Vikings?

Any ideas?

I think this is a criminal oversight by Disney personally. I say we make our own if Disney are going to be snobby about Vikings...

Who's with me?

Or send Thraxas off to the art department!

That way we get a fairly accurate viking AND we get rid of Thraxas

You won't get rid of me that easily. I have a lifelong hatred of all things Disney. I say we kill the mouse and nail it to the front of the longboat.

Because raping and pillaging isn't particularly Disney?

Although they did manage to romanticize piracy...which is essentially the same thing...

But Dutch kids aren't Disney, so doesn't count
I think the closest I've found is Asterix, but definitly no Disney , yeah they always go for the romantic side *except Bambi, oops I shot your mum), frankly I'd go watch a film of theirs if it involves plundering villages with axes.
OOH and making the word 'superfluous' used in everyday conversation

Wow, I think that would've sent me over the edge! The only reason I have to hate them is the unutterable shitness of everything they've ever created, but that's more than reason enough for me.
