The Godfather is in short THE biggest gangster film in well, the history of films, as it stands this motion picture is yet to be beaten!

The first Godfather is set in 1945 and it tells the story of Don Vito (Marlon Brando) who is the leader of a New York Mafia, which will be known to some as “Family” as he attends his daughter’s wedding his son Michael (Al Pacino) also comes home from the War. The story progresses as Michael does not want to live his dads life, he just wants to live a normal life, without the worry of and getting into fights etc.

A local drug dealer in the area known as Virgil Sollozzo is asking around for Mafia families to provide security for him, and he will then offer them some of the money he gets for selling drugs. Virgil asks the mafia “Family” leader Don if he is up for this offer but Don refuses as he does not want to get his name, as well as his family named involved with the drug world as he is completely against it.

Sollozzo is angered at being turned down by Don, so he quickly sends his hit men out to shoot him down. After the shoot out Don barely survives as he was clearly outnumbered by Sollozzo’s men. His son Michael finds out about the hit and although he is against the whole mafia idea, he decides to start a brutal war on Sollozzo!

This is just the basic storyline for Godfather, it would take a while to explain the further two sequels, which were both just as brilliant and big as the first one.

The cast behind this trilogy is absolutely amazing; first we have Al Pacino who is still acting to this day! He went on to be part of masterpieces like “Heat” and “Scarface” in more recent years we have also seen the actor take part in the Ocean’s Eleven trilogy, proving to the world that he still has what it takes to be a successful actor after all of these years.

Marlon Brando who sadly passed away in 2004 was equally as successful as Al Pacino, he took part in films such as “Superman” in 1978, and he was also in one of the most talked about war films of all time “Apocalypse Now”

The last actor we should mention that features in this legendary trilogy is Robert De Niro. If you don’t know who this man is, then you are heavily missing out! His credits include “Taxi Driver” “Raging Ball” and “Goodfellas” which was another gangster classic! Robert De Niro is also still acting to this day, his most recent work includes “Limitless” “Stardust” and “Shark Tale” all of these films proved that Robert De Niro also still has what it takes to be a great actor!

These three actors have helped provide a backbone to The Godfather trilogy and without them in the films, there is no doubt that The Godfather would not be as big as it is now.

The narrative behind South Park is based around four boys Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick. Pretty much every episode will show the gang getting into weird and wild adventures in their Colorado home town. In 2004 South Park hit number 3 in The 100 Greatest Cartoons just short of the legendary Tom and Jerry cartoon.

The creators of South Park ‘Parker’ and ‘Stone’ met in college and created the show from two short animations they did in 1992 and as well as another in 1995. The video in 1995 became one of the first viral videos (a video that gets thousands and thousands of views over night) and this of course led to the production of the first episode of South Park. When South Park first started it was created and produced by ‘Cutout Animation’ techniques but now the programme is run using a lot more computer software, which has helped create a unique and iconic presence for the show.

Two years after its release we saw the release of the musical film ‘South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut’ which was a hit the world over, the film tells the story of the third graders as they take on another epic adventure which involves Satan and Saddam Hussein! I think that information alone is enough to outline the weird and wacky plot lines South Park is known for. You might be pleased to know that we have the Devil costume which turns heads and gets a laugh at any fancy dress event whether you are a South Park fan or not.

One of the creators of South Park Trey Parker can been known for directing the cult classic Team America: World Police, which was just as funny as the South Park franchise and was a hit with South Park fans all over the world. Fingers crossed that maybe one day the South Park audiences can expect another film.

Here are a couple of points that have helped make South Park the classic cartoon it is today: Firstly there have been many cameo guest stars in South Park, such as Jay Leno, Robert Smith (The Cure) and even the bands Radiohead and Korn have made an appearance in the show. Also the show is known for taking classic film ideas and turning them into an episode. An example of this can be seen when the characters of South Park have an Inception themed episode.

If you want to think of something completely different, then dress up in one of our South Park costumes today!

The Smurfs was originally created by the cartoonist Pierre Culliford on October 23rd 1958. The first Smurf related tale was based in medieval times, and it told the narrative of a young page to the king named “Johan” who was in search of a magical flute. Upon doing so they bumped into a very small blue creature with white clothing known as a “Smurf” the Smurf was followed by many others that looked just like him including papa Smurf who wore red shorts, this was the birth of The Smurfs franchise.

This story proved to be an incredible success worldwide, I am sure that the version of The Smurfs a lot of us remember is of “Hanna-Barbera’s” animated series which was unleashed in 1981, this show proved to be an incredible success and it went on to earn an award for “Outstanding Children’s Entertainment”. Sadly in the late 80′s the Smurfs TV series was cancelled due to a decrease in views, but this did not stop it from being repeated constantly for the next twenty years!

In 2011 The Smurfs will be regaining its worldwide fame, as there is a film coming out with all your favourite characters returning once more for a crazy adventure. The extremely popular Katy Perry is also on board to play the voice of Smurfette, as well as other famous actors like Alan Cumming, Neil Patrick Stewart, so it is no doubt that the Smurf craze will arise one more time.

We stock a variation of Smurf costumes and Smurf accessories from just the standard Royal Blue or Sky Blue Snazaroo body paints which can be washed off with ease, we also stock the Smurf hats which will help perfect this look. Both of these items are very cheap! So a Smurf themed fancy dress party is something that can be done with ease!

If you’re looking for great value fancy dress then you have found the right place. We have one of the largest selections of fancy dress costumes available in the UK and always cheaper then R.R.P.

Created by Martin Handford, Where’s Wally (known as where’s Waldo in the USA) became a massive success in the late 80′s. The first comic book in the series was created in 1987. The concept behind this idea was to find Wally in crowded places in various locations around the world. Where’s Wally became famous very quickly, and he is now known throughout the world as an iconic figure. Wally’s legacy has lasted over twenty years with seven books being produced! The latest one was entitled “The Incredible Paper Chase” this book proves with ease just how relevant Where’s Wally still is!

Although Where’s Wally’s main fame is from his comic book series, you can also buy Where’s Wally pillows, posters, video games, and notebooks! As well as all of this Where’s Wally had his own cartoon series! In short, you can’t really go into any supermarket or book shop without seeing the now iconic figure appear on the shelves.

Other characters such as Wizard Whitebeard were added to the Where’s Wally franchise to make the task even harder, because once you have found Wally you were still given many more characters to search for! If you have a mate who is already in fancy dress as Where’s Wally why not dress up as Wizard Whitebeard and take your party one step further! To craft this look, we sell a whole range of wizard accessories from hats! To beards, you will indeed have no problem in pulling of this look!

Rainbow is a classic children’s TV series; it ran twice weekly and had a massive fan base of both children and adults. It ran from 1972 – 1992, proving itself to be one of the longest and most successful running TV programmes of our generation. In 1975 Rainbow also won the “Society of Film and television Arts Award for Best Children’s Programme” so this puts the TV series miles ahead of many competitors and it’s this popularity that has lead to the great range of Rainbow fancy dress costumes that we have in stock.

The TV series Rainbow orbited around the Rainbow House, where all of the unique puppet characters lived in. Most of the time it would involve a debate or quarrel between the main characters, the rest of the show would show the characters trying to calm each other down. There wasn’t really a massive storyline to this programme, but I think this unique fact about it has helped it stand out against a lot of other children’s TV programmes from the time. The show would also include songs or stories from the “Rainbow Storybook” which would be read by the human character Geoffrey.

Although Geoffrey Hayes was not the first presenter to feature on Rainbow he was by far the most well known presenter. He would be the one to give the characters of the rainbow household something to do; he was really the key to keeping this crazy plot together.

So let’s just take a moment to talk through some of the other classic characters in this franchise that have given us some great fancy dress costumes, first we had Zippy! He was loud and always over the top, but he was always very friendly at heart. He had a zip for a mouth which made for great entertainment, as when he got to loud or annoying, other characters would tend to zip his mouth shut. Zippy himself has a massive fan base, and he is actually known all over the world, to this day there is still merchandise sold that is based on Zippy.

Bungle is another classic character that we all remember; he was a brown bear who came across as slightly clumsy and impatient about other characters in the programme. He was another massive character in this franchise, and one that a lot of us still remember, and of course let’s not forget George.

These costumes can appeal to so many people, as I am sure a lot of us grew up with this series, and wish to again relive their childhood moments, so if you are looking for a unique fancy dress idea to blow everyone away at a party or event, this will surely be the perfect choice.

Rave’s originally originated from acid house parties and featuring fast paced music and dazzling light shows.  At these parties people dance and socialize to dance music played by ‘disc jockeys’ and occasionally the odd live performer.  There were many different types of music being played including, house, trance techno, dubstep, jungle, UK hard core to name but a few. And accompanying every type was the multitude of laser light shows, projected images, fluorescent paint, glow sticks and smoke machines.

There was also a large hype and campaign against raves because of the fact of illegal drugs, especially ecstasy. This was usually available from the raves, and was said to be easy as taking hors d’oeuvres from a waiter in a restaurant this shocked many parents and also the government who set campaigns that focused on deceased members of the public like Leah Betts, who died after taking ecstasy.

There are many distinctive types of rave clothing, including ‘pumps’, ‘three button shirts’, ‘fluorescent yellow jackets’, ‘white gloves’ and white belts; these are known as ‘Rave gear’. As well as the clothing there were also a range of accessories that many ravers were never seen without, including Vick vapour Inhalers and Rub and dummies to satisfy the need to chew caused by taking ecstasy.

The 90’s raver costume consists of a yellow top with a face on it, with a yellow hat, and comes with orange trousers with yellow pocket detail. We also sell dummies, and white gloves are available too, to give you more of the complete rave look.

Achilles is the son of the nymph Thetis and the King of the Myrmidons, Peleus.  According to popular belief his mother tried to make him immortal by dipping him in the river between the living and the underworld; but the part she held him by, the heel, was the only bit that stayed mortal as it didn’t get submerged. In the Trojan War Achilles wrath was supposedly limitless, and songs were sung for his fury and fever in battle. He was not very happy with the leader of the combined Greek forces however, Agamemnon; and refused to fight for him when he dishonoured him by taking away his battle prize, a women, that Achilles said he loved. He told everyone that he was going to sail home the next day, and leave the war. Trojan soldiers attacked in the night and his cousin led the soldiers in the guise of Achilles, and was slain by Hector prince regent of Troy. Achilles then turned from sailing home and chased Hector around the battlefield where finally he caught up to him and slew Hector. Instead of treating his body with respect Achilles tied the body to the back of his chariot and rode around the walls of Troy dragging it behind him.

There are many costumes on offer and even Achilles sword which has gold detail over plastic steel, with a wooden detail pommel, a great sword that shines with glory.

“Underground over ground, Wombling free, the Wombles of Wimbledon common are we” the first words in the Wombles pop song; becoming the iconic saying when anyone thereafter thought of the Wombles. Do you remember the pointy noised furry creatures that appeared on TV in the mid 70’s? The Wombles have had many successes over the years including a stop motion animation show and single ‘The Wombles’ in the early seventies and films such as Wombling Free, in the late seventies.

The Wombles were the brain child of Elisabeth Beresford who was a freelance ghost writer and children’s book author. The whole idea sprung from one Boxing day walk with her young children on Wimbledon Common, where one of them referred to it as ‘Wombledon Common’, upon getting home Elisabeth wrote down the idea and started developing the characters and storylines. There were five novels in the end. The Wombles (1968); The wandering Wombles (1970); The Wombles at Work (1973); The Wombles to the Rescue (1974); and The Wombles Go Round the World (1976). All these are currently being reissued by Bloomsbury with all new illustration, so if you want your children to enjoy the magic of the Wombles too, now’s the time to buy the new books.

There are nine main characters, with many more that are introduced along the way. The nine main ones are: Great Uncle Bulgaria, the Wombles leader, based on Beresford’s father in law. Tobermory, an engineer, based on Beresford’s brother. Madame Cholet, a cook, and styled after Beresford’s mother. Miss Adelaide, the schoolmistress and named after a city in Australia. Tomsk, an athletic Womble with a low IQ. Bungo, an over enthusiastic and bossy Womble. Orinoco, a shirker who loved sleep and food, modelled after Beresford’s teenage son. Wellington, a rather scientific Womble, but very insecure and absent minded. Alderney madam Cholet’s assistant and named after an isle in the Channel Islands.

There are a couple of costumes on offer including the Wombles Great Uncle Bulgaria costume that comes with a tartan poncho, trousers, gloves, slipper shoe covers and a headpiece mean to represent his head. A great costume that can be made even better with the addition of the Teachers Bamboo Cane. Another costume on offer is Orinoco Costume a stunning costume that includes a full body suit, head piece and gloves. Both these costumes are great quality and priceless of the good old days.
