Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure  — 4K 01/10/26

Tim Burton’s debut feature elaborates on the alternate-universe world of Pee-Wee Herman, the alter-ego creation of comedian Paul Reubens. A non-conformist original with a good heart, Pee-Wee’s DNA could have come from a TV kiddie show host. He’s an infantile / streetwise child prodigy with lofty values: he believes in fair play, inclusivity and special privileges for himself. Pee-Wee is oblivious to romance but consistently attracts good friends. On an epic quest to retrieve a stolen bicycle, he suffers a traumatic disillusion at the hands of a tour guide at The Alamo. Adding to the magic are playground colors from cameraman Victor Kemper and catchy circus music by Danny Elfman. On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.
