What's that sound? Must be the huge buzz that is the amazing new live-action remake of Disney's classic take Beauty and the Beast! Hitting the big screens all over the world, this new instalment promised to bring this animated classic which was first released way back in 1991 (26 years ago! Eeeep) into the modern movie scene and audience.

This got us thinking though.... what did we learn from the original? What life gems did we take away from all those VHS (magic video tape things for you youngns) screenings at home on the telly?

To find out we had a little think and have come up with our 10 Things We Learned From Beauty and the Beast....The Original. Enjoy!

You're never too short-tempered, rich or... hairy to learn.

Okay we're going to let you into a little secret here, us TruffleShuffler's are not all the baby-faced teenagers we used to be (I know... the 80s was a long time ago now apparently), this means we're constantly learning about the latest app, social media profile live chat profile thingy we have to be amazing at suddenly. If you ever think you're done learning and you've got things covered, you couldn't be more wrong! Be the beast of learning!

Not fitting in, is awesome!

Cheese and pineapple! Another retro movie weekend has sneaked up upon us and here here to shake things up!

With our bags looking fit to burst, we find ourselves once again taking on the challenge that is.... the pick n mix. With a set price, our only limitations are our own imagination on ways to cram more sweet and colourful goodness into our receptacle of choice. Another sprinkle of these, the odd one of them... we'll push, pinch and cram our way to glory before, somehow securing the lid which sole purpose will be to remain in situ for the time it takes to pay for our gains and leave. Will we make it?

You have thirteen hours in which to solve the labyrinth, before your baby brother becomes one of us... forever.......

Well 'Ello Labyrinth fans! Listen up as we've got a serious treat for you.

As you may well know - the awesome folk at RiverHorse released an EPIC Labyrinth Board Game back in 2016. Unsurprisingly, demand completely outstripped supply and only a very, very lucky few managed to get their hands on a copy before they promptly sold out.

Well we've got two bits of awesome news for you. First off, we have another delivery of the game winging it's way across to Truffle Towers as we speak which will be available to buy in the next week or so. Make sure you're on our waiting list here and that  way - we can drop you an email as soon as they're available to buy.

PLUS to celebrate the fact their return is imminent, we have 5 copies of the a-maze-ing game to giveaway so you can get stuck into your own Goblin King adventure before the rest of us!

Crunchy crisps and dip! Another retro movie weekend is upon us. Let's go!

With a bump and a flick, we're plugging back in after many years one of our oldest friends, our first game console. Feeling some of the excitement we first experience upon first ever playing on our shiny new system back in the day, we'll dust off the bold and clunky hardware which still feels so familiar in our hands before loading up our game of choice. With each load screen, we find our childhood memories loading into our minds as we dive in, as if nothing had changed around us.

Great balls of fire! Another weekend, another retro movie rundown.

With great gusts and great gales, the wild weather beats and howls at the windows. Hearing the thrashing of the branches and the hollow scrapes of the bins, we'll tuck ourselves in for another night amongst the safety of the sofa and warm glow of the box. Peeping out the window only to observe the chaos and fury of the outside world, before heading back to view the retro movie wonders that will once again be beaming their way into our little world.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Cheese and crackers! Another retro movie weekend is here and... well... let's dive in!

Saddling up and gripping the bars, we're setting off into the forest with our trusty bike for some adventure and adrenaline. Setting off down a local trail, we'll masterfully jump, duck and weave our way through the wilderness as we let gravity pull us ever closer to our final destination. Hitting our final turn like a surfer turning on a wave, we'll rejoice in our success, pause for a moment then think... let's do that again!

Have a happy retro weekend!
