Fractured Fairy Tales

If you've seen the third Shrek film, you most likely heard a distinctly Scottish accent coming from the green ogre.  Mike Myers is the narrator but is not Scottish even though he has a great accent.  Going back into the fractured fairy tales genre a bit, however, we find Edward Everett Norton who narrated the Rocky and Bullwinkle "Fractured Fairy Tales."  His parents were from Scotland so the bookwraith claims his fairy tales as its own.  Do you remember these delightful short clips?
