Pee-wee's Big Adventure at Uptown Theatre
Defined by the cartoonish personality of Paul Reubens’ character, the funhouse music of Danny Elfman, and the visual design of cartoonist Paul Chadwick, the 1985 kiddie comedy Pee-wee’s Big Adventure wasn’t immediately linked with the sensibility of its young director, Tim Burton. It wasn’t until Burton’s subsequent films like Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands that Pee-wee’s Big Adventure began to fit into Burton’s career-long devotion to surreal, cutesy outsiderdom. Pee-wee is among Burton’s best: a feather-light road picture with Reubens touring a gently grotesque America in search of his stolen bicycle. (Also Feb. 13)
