The [[Hollywood Atlas]] version of Iberian countries (mostly Spain with possible addition of elements from Portugal, Andorra, etc.).
Line 57:
== Literature ==
* P. Merimee's ''[[
* [[Tom Clancy]] and [[Dan Brown]] have also portrayed Spain as a third-world country in ''Balance of Power'' and ''Digital Fortress'', respectively. Brown's case is even stranger because he supposedly spent some time living in Seville.
** That's [[Dan Browned]] [[Up to Eleven]]...
Line 71:
* ''[[Caroline in The City]]'' has an episode (called ''Caroline and the Bullfighter'', so you know where this is going) where the main characters travel to Pamplona and, well, let's just say that every thing that follows is wrong.
* The episode ''Barcelona, May 1917'' of ''The Young [[Indiana Jones]] Chronicles''. Curious case as it was written, directed and starred mostly by British people, and in turn features a lot of ''British'' stereotypes about Spain instead of American ones: paella, Cordobese hats, a ''[[Anachronism Stew|duel]]'' at a bullring, a small jealous husband with moustache and an omnipresent bullfight tune every 5 minutes. Oh, and once the cheating is revealed to be a forgery, the small jealous husband decides to share a drink with the guy that he was going to kill a second before. ''¡Fiesta!''
* An episode of ''[[
* The Running of the Bulls is parodied in the ''[[Brass Eye]]'' episode "Animals" with the "Running of the Wasp", complete with footage of a crowd of people ostensibly running away from a wasp.
Line 85:
** To be fair, however, all of the fighters are ridiculous stereotypes. This was [[Rule of Funny|probably intentional]].
* ''[[Harry Potter]]: Quidditch World Cup'': The Spanish team members are dressed as bullfighters, their stadium is a bullring and [[No Indoor Voice|they SCREAM!!!, not talk]].
* Then there's ''Running Against the Bull'' in ''[[
* The Spanish team in ''[[Backyard Sports|Backyard Soccer]]'' is called Los Toritos.
Line 91:
== Western Animation ==
* [[Walt Disney]]'s ''Ferdinand the Bull'' short. ([[Adaptation Displacement|And the book it was based on.]])
* In the ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (
* In an episode of ''[[
* An episode of the classic ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987
** Which of course, looked like your stereotypical Spanish town, apart from the mentions of them being in Portugal.
* One episode of ''[[Totally Spies]]'' had the spies going to Spain. Not only was Madrid placed MUCH higher on the map, the city seemed to have come out of the 19th century... oh yeah, and there were bulls, of course.
