The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 173
Willy Wonka's factory! Can it be? So soon? Is it....really....the weekend?!
Like a hardworking, creative and ever so slightly extraordinary chocolate factory owner, we find ourselves once again in front of a whole world of possibilities. We could mix a touch of comedy with a splash of sweet, or perhaps mix some thriller flavours with a hint of romance. The choices are endless! After everything has set, we can take a taste of some of our creations and always dip back into them thanks to the magic of celluloid wonder.
Happy retro weekend!
SATURDAY 21st NOVEMBER

10 Things You [Probably] Didn't Know About…The Movie 'Elf'!
Ever since its release back in 2003, Elf has been a part of every Christmas for us. Bringing Buddy back into our lives once again filling us with Christmas joy, we simply can't imagine a Christmas film list that doesn't include this Will Ferrel classic!
His unstoppable charm and spirit have come to be a staple in many homes over the festive season reminding us of that little kid inside all of us who just loves decorations, Christmas trees, gifts and of course SUGAR!
Just before we all settle town to tuck into this modern classic (if you haven't already!), why not take a peep at our 10 Things You Didn't Know About The Movie Elf so you can annoy wow all your fellow viewers. Enjoy!

1 - The script for Elf was originally written way back in the '90s, and Jim Carrey (off of The Grinch fame) was originally tied to the role before Will Ferrell was cast.
Good Grief! New Snoopy T-Shirts at Truffle Towers!
Like so many others out there, we grew up with Charlie Brown and can still remember reading or even watching their classic moments like it were yesterday. Such a classic!
First hitting the scene over a whopping 65 years ago, Peanuts quickly became a newspaper comic strip staple and has since grown to become one of the world's most-loved and recognized.

With so much love for this real retro icon, we are soooo pleased to be adding even more to our range of Snoopy T-Shirts and gifts.
Available from £19.99, these 100% official designs sure aren't a swing and a miss and are the perfect way to add some cartoon cool to any look. Take a peep!
