Paddington Movie Out Today!
Big news folks! Yep we care bear-ly (sorry) contain ourselves today as the long awaited new Paddington Bear film will be hitting the big screen today!
Paddington Bear has been with us all of our lives and made his first ever appearance way back in 1958 in his very own children's book series. Coming to us from deepest darkest parts of Peru, with his old red fisherman hat, battered brown suitcase (complete with a secret compartment), big blue duffle coat and love of marmalade, Paddington has become and international children's icon and is still huugely loved today by kids and big kids like us.
The story goes, BBC cameraman Michael Bond bought a small toy bear left alone on a shelf in Selfridges store, London, for his wife Brenda. Named Paddington, after the station close to Michaelâs home, the bear inspires him to write eight episodes in just over a week which are later published by Williams Collins and quickly became the UK's Best Childrenâs Novel!

Being made into a simply huuuuge range of books, TV episodes, games toys and more, he's finally hitting the big screen in his first ever feature film!

Ahhh how we've missed these! It's been a little while since we did our last 10 Things You Didn't Know About...feature. It's just all gone wild here at TruffleTowers with more and more cool products hitting the store and everyone getting nice and ready for Christmas. Exciting!
So! To kick things back off with a bang, we've been searching the cyber-space-web-net for some of the coolest, most interesting and unknown facts about one of the world's most-lived cartoons, Tom and Jerry!
Taking us right back to our childhood of watching this at home and at school on rainy days when we couldn't go outside. (Remember the big old TV's??....scary). Sit back and take a trip down memory lane with us as we teach you some of our top Tom and Jerry facts. Enjoy!

1) Tom and Jerry were actually lined up to star in 1988 classic flick 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit', sadly legal smegle issues stopped it from ever happening happening. However! The cartoon team had already featured in live action films before including the 1945 'Anchors Aweigh', when Jerry stole the show in a dance sequence with Gene Kelly!
