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!

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!

Sweet honey and pancakes! Must be time for another retro movie weekend!

With a swish and a swoosh, we're making quick work of the almost herculean task of freshly painting a black canvas of a room (we said almost). Starting at one corner, we'll watch the fresh, bright new colour explode outwards with each new stroke of the brush as we breathe a whole new character to a once tired and uninspiring space. With the smell of newness and change in the air, we'll step back from our work to admire our new creation before taking a moment to capture our achievements onto celluloid wonder.

Have a happy retro weekend!

In the words of Noddy Holder from Slade....it's CHRIIIIIIISTMAAAAAAAAS! Well... almost.

With the shopping done (at last!), the family all organised and the tree nicely glistening in the corner, it seems Christmas is here again for another year. What joy! With nothing to do but eat, drink and be merry (what washing up?), we'll spread our Christmas cheer for all to see as we welcome one and all to tuck into our festive feast. With a clinking of glass, a scraping or knife and the snap of a cracker, another year will float past into the night as we ready ourselves for another year ahead. Merry Christmas!

Have a happy retro weekend!

Grilled cheese sandwich! Another retro movie filled weekend is here and boy is it a treat!

With chips stacked high and the smell of anticipation in the air, we find ourselves at the mercy of lady luck as we roll the dice so see if our big moment it here. We'll watch with eager eyes as the sacred little white ball that holds all our hopes and dreams at that moment starts to spin and flicks it's way around the roulette wheel.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Print, pick and pack! Another retro movie weekend is here!

Just like one of the unsung heroes of the modern world, we find ourselves walking among the humble warehouse workers through the long isles of a bustling building. We'll swoop, bend, stretch and clamber our way to reach all the exciting goodies that will soon be swiftly working their way to their new home where the eager new owner awaits with anticipation. Clip, clap, zip, the package is ready to begin its journey to far and distant lands as we begin all over again.

Have a happy retro weekend!
