Classic 80s Movie Posters Recreated...With Kids
Here at Truffle Towers, we love a new twist on something classic. Be it a friendly mix of The Godfather and Transformers resulting in our Tronfather T-Shirt, or maybe even a mash up of Pink Floyd and Button Moon giving us our Dark Side of Button Moon T-Shirts, we have always had an eye on other peoples interpretations of the classic films and TV shows from our 'not too distant' past.
On one of our many travels through the weird and wonderful world of cyberspace, we stumbled over some fantastic recreations of classic 80s films posters this time using some cheeky chappies. Utterly adorable, and such a cool idea, take a look at what we found...
Can you think of any other classic retro posters you've love to see getting the same treatment? Let us know with a comment below. :)

Top Movies Turning 20....WARNING: Will Make You Feel Old!
Now some of these may be hard and frankly a little painful to believe that they first entered our lives wayyy back in 1993. Doesn't seem that long ago right? Well sadly that was 20 years ago and it's actually amazing just how much we still love these films even now, just goes to show just how amazing they are.
Take a little trip down memory lane with us as we've picked out some of out top films that are turning 20 years old this year...enjoy!
