PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE / Dir. Tim Burton / 1985 / USA / 90 min. / 35mm
Tim Burton's first feature film takes us beyond Pee-wee Herman's playhouse as he begins his quest to
regain his prize possession, an amazing customized bicycle, which has been stolen, Pee-wee believes,
at the behest of his nasty rich next-door neighbor, Francis. After a psychic tells him to look for it in the
Alamo's basement, Pee-wee sets off for San Antonio. Along the way he encounters many memorable
eccentrics, from the "Tequila"-loving biker gang to Large Marge. Will he be reunited with his beloved
bike? Will he ever agree to go on a date with Dottie? Kids of all ages should not miss the chance to join
Pee-wee in his hyper-colored parallel universe! Salon.com's Stephanie Zacharek enthuses, "The only
thing wrong with Pee-wee's Big Adventure is that the real world looks so drab and colorless by
comparison. Everything about [it] is pure pleasure."
