Happy Mother's Day! Celebrate With Our Top Retro Mums...
Happy Mother's Day!
Yes folks it's that special time of year where kids everywhere and of all ages come together to help make their superhero mums feel that little big extra special.
Day outs, heartfelt treats, breakfasts in bed and of course chocs and wine (weekend essentials) are all on the agenda today as we all try and make today go with a bang and say thanks to all the wonderful things that our unsung hero mums soo all year round.
To help celebrate today, we thought we would put together a little compilation list of some of out all-time favourite mums from some top films and cartoons we all know and love. Sit back and enjoy....
_
Marge Simpson - The Simpsons
We love Marge! She puts up with a hell of a lot in the weird and wonderful Simpson house and occasionally get to have an adventure of her own or two. Always there to pick up the pieces and offer some words of wisdom, what a woman!

Mrs. Gump - Forest Gump
Can you think of any other mother worshipped so much by their son in any other movie? Neither can we!
Mrs. Gump is one of the most beloved movie mums out there and for good reason. Mrs. Gump is kind and loving yet has a strong personality with a clear set of morals. Full of fine wisdom for Forrest, though sometimes mixed in with the odd bit of fantasy just to make things a little easier for her son to understand. Mrs. Gump would always stand up and defend he son no matter what. Such a hero!

Sarah Connor - The Terminator
Parent of John Connor, saviour of the future and the ultimate bad-ass matriarch, in James Cameronâs pile-driving pair of action thrillers. Ms Connor risks all to protect her son, and therefore save mankind. Unreasonable to ask more of any mother, surely, besides which no doting screen mum has ever looked so serenely at home with a high-powered assault rifle.

Peg Boggs - Edward Scissorhands
It takes a special kind of person to open up their home and heart to a stranger, especially if that stranger was built by a mad scientist and needed a change from the gothic castle they've always hidden in. Peg is a kind, loving, understanding sort whose only flaw is that she loves candy-coloured suburbia a shade too much.

Miss Honey (Jennifer) - Matilda
Caring, understanding, kind, fun and a great secret keeper, Miss Honey is the perfect mum of super sweet Matilda. Not only does she stand up for her, she goes all out and adopts her as her own so they can live together. What a dream!

Beatrix Kiddo (Black Mamba, also known as The Bride) - Kill Bill
Okay maybe not the most loving of characters at times ever to hit the silver screen, but boy does shes she know how to get revenge and puts up one hell of a fight to get her daughter back. That's one tough cookie!
_
Diane Freeling - Poltergeist
Probably one of the best mixes of everything, caring, loving, strong and above all else brave! Not only does Diane enter another dimension in order to save her young daughter Carol Anne, she also survives a swimming pool filled with corpses and but goes on to pull Robbie and Carol Anne from her exploding house. All in a day's work!
