10 Things You [Probably] Didn't Know About...Tom and Jerry!
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!
New In From Pinky And The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain…
Are you pondering what I'm pondering? Wouldn't it be awesome to have some amazing new Pinky And The Brain designs?? Well...Narf said!
That's right you cartoon loving people of the world, they're back and more ready than ever to take over the world! ...which isn't as scary as it sounds.
Ever since the days of sitting in on the floor in front of the TV so close you can hear and feel the static watching the classic Animaniacs toons, Pinky And The Brain have been one of our all-time favourite and memorable cartoons.
With their small world but big plans, we loved their ambitious attitude and their love-hate bromance.
Determined to reach their full potential, Pinky and the Brain follows two captured mice who live in Acme's research Labs where they have been genetically...ermm.... 'altered' to be super intelligent and be able to speak to humans. Normal so far yeh?
The stories follow The Brain's nightly plans to take over the world, usually ending with things being ruined by lovable simpleton Pinky his not so trusty and clumsy cage buddy.

As huuuuge cartoon fans, naturally a lot of our time each day is spent watching them, talking about them, and maybe even drooling over our fab collection of Cartoon T-Shirts that we've worked so hard to compile. With so many amazing new series to pick from as well as the old classic, it's hard to know where to start! One of our top picks for sure has got to be the amazing Adventure Time series which has taken the world by storm and earned a cult status for both young and (ahem) older viewers.

Taking place in the post-apocalyptic land of Ooo, sometimes awkward teen boy Finn and his adopted talking shape-changing dog Jake find themselves in some pretty amazing adventures with the other list of regular characters including the likes of Princess Bubblegum, The Ice King and Marceline the Vampire Queen.
What ourselves and many many others out there love it's all out creativity, coupled with the amazing relationships and story lines that not only sooth us after a long day but can also leave us with some good old fashioned life lesions and teachings. What a show! :)

Top Cartoon Voices - Who are they?
Are you an animaniac? Crazy for cartoons? Well you probably have a great collection of Cartoon T-Shirts already (if not, why not?) but have you ever really thought about some of the voices behind your favourite animated characters?
Me neither, so I set off in search of some of my favourite characters and voices. Here's what I found....
Grandpa Huxtable was a Thundercat!
Between 1984 & 1992, Earle Hyman played Grandpa Russell Huxtable in The Cosby Show. Despite being a trombone playing, Hillman College graduate and a really bad buyer of sweaters in this popular sitcom he was also moonlighting as a humanoid warrior feline from outer space, Panthro.
Panthro was the resident mechanic in the cartoon Thundercats and was also the least clothed member after Snarf.
JIMBOOOOOOOOO!
Your brain does funny things. Its amazing what it picks up, stores & reacts to. Whilst going about my daily duties I must have subconciously noticed the Jimbo T-Shirts as I spent most of the day and the majority of that evening humming the Jimbo and the Jet-Sets theme tune and mumbling 'JIMBOOOOO!!' just like the air traffic controller at the end of the opening credits.
Well, if you've ever tried to get a song out of your head you will know its easier said than done but as I've learnt with this example, trying to forget a theme tune that only contains one word (Jimbo) is nothing short of a nightmare!!!
I have no idea how to avoid this slightly annoying situation happening again but one thing I do know is that I won't take browsing through our Cartoon T-Shirts so lightly from now on.
So I suppose the point to this blog is a friendly warning that shopping with TruffleShuffle.com can cause some serious feelings of Nostalgia. To prove my point, I dare you to watch the theme tune to Jimbo and the Jet-Set below and not hum it for the rest of your day!!
