Pee-wee’s Big Adventure (Outdoor Screening)

When the lovably eccentric Pee-Wee Herman (R.I.P.) has his iconic cherry red bike stolen in broad daylight, he sets out across the U.S. for the time of his life. Along the way, he encounters and befriends a fugitive on the run, a big rig-driving ghost, and a down-on-her-luck waitress, in addition to learning a little about the floorplan of the Alamo. (dir. Tim Burton, U.S., 1985, 90 min.)

“From its toy-box colors to its superb, hyper animated Danny Elfman score to the wooden-puppet walk of its star and mastermind, Pee-Wee Herman, it is pure pleasure.” — Salon
