Pee-Wee's Big Adventure - The Criterion Collection

One of the most eccentric comedies of the 1980s, Pee-wee's Big Adventure is a pop-culture touchstone that helped make a manic oddball named Pee-wee Herman - the creation and alter ego of actor-comedian Paul Reubens - into an icon for outsiders of all ages. It also established the distinctive style of director Tim Burton, whose eye-popping visual sense is already on full display in this, his first feature film. Following the gleefully irreverent Pee-wee as he embarks on a road trip to recover his beloved stolen bicycle, the movie unfolds with the antic invention of a live-action cartoon, combining a gallery of memorably wacky characters, colorful, kitschy Americana, and surreal flights of fancy into a joyously uninhibited paean to creativity and the spirit of childhood.
