A very sad day here at TruffleTowers, we recently learnt about the passing of one of our most-loved and globally cherished Oscar-winning actors and comedian Robin Williams.

Over the years and for as long as we can remember, he has given us some of the very best movie characters and performances. He was surely one of the greatest performers ever and has been described by many as a genius in his field. He will be greatly and deeply missed by all.

To help celebrate this great man and pay tribute to his outstanding career, we thought we would put together just a few of our favourite moments and characters for all to see. Take a look at some of our top Robin Williams memories and relive these classic moments....

There's nothing we like better than snuggling up on the sofa under a blanket with a huge bucket of salty popcorn watching old school movies when the rain is pounding down outside! Our love of all the cult classics, has fed our insatiable desire to buy as many amazing movie tees as possible. Here is a little glimpse of some of the highlights.

Either Disney has decided Tinkerbell's attire was to 'saucy' or they’ve just decided to make their feminine characters more masculine.

Either way, the new and frankly unimproved uniform and image of Tinkerbell leaves a lot to be desired from the formerly cute minidress clad nymph.  The new image is just plain silly.  It’s not even that different from Peter Pan. They've crazily opted to ditch the cute strapless green dress, the magic wand, and very visible angel wings. And now, there’s this stupid-looking visor/hat contraption.  Disney said it wanted to give “Tink” a tomboyish look.  Um, ok......



Yes, Disney claims that it’s new Tinkerbell release out on end of October takes place in the autumn when weather is cooler, but the weather has never affected Tinkerbell couture before. It’s a cartoon character, not a weather dependent human.
