An oddball star, an oddball script, and an oddball director walk into the basement of the Alamo with a trucker named Large Marge, an ill-fitting suit, and a cast of the quirkiest weirdos this side of Alice’s Wonderland.

If you haven’t figured it out by now—and the heading above didn’t tip you off—it can only be Pee-wee's Big Adventure! It’s a bizarro road trip masterpiece for all, (except perhaps the very small).

Following the trials and triumphs of a child-like man on a search for his missing bicycle, this classic family comedy was the breakout success of actor Paul Reubens and his iconic character, Pee-wee Herman. Not only that, but it was the mainstream feature film debut of director Tim Burton and composer Danny Elfman. A manic score combines with Burton’s off-kilter sensibility and visual flair to compliment a truly absurd series of events. It’s simply brimming with slapstick action, silly circumstances, and over-the-top performances

. 

Yes, it's about as ridiculous as pancakes topped with fried eggs and Mr. T breakfast cereal! Expect outrageous chases, surreal dream sequences, guys in rubber lizard suits, Santa Clause, goofy dance numbers, other wacky things to put into zany lists, and a great time at the movies!
