McDonald at the Movies: Pee-wee’s Big Adventure

Wed, Dec 4 / 7 pm
Directed by Tim Burton
1985, USA, 91 min

Once a month, comedian, star and co-founder of Kids in the Hall, comic Kevin McDonald will present a film handpicked from the archives of comic history.

When his prized shiny red bike is stolen, Pee-wee sets off on an obsessive cross-country journey, meeting hilarious characters along the way. Everything about this movie, from its toy-box colors to its superb, hyperanimated Danny Elfman score to the butch-waxed hairdo and wooden-puppet walk of its star and mastermind, Pee-wee Herman, is pure pleasure.
