Title: Pee-wee Herman did teach us it’s okay to be weird!
Review: A timeless classic. You get something different watching this movie at different ages and different moods.In the peculiar universe of Tim Burton’s magic, where the lines between reality and fantasy waltz together, “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure” unfolds as a charming symphony of weirdness and wisdom. Strap in, because this is not your average bicycle ride – it’s a whimsical journey through the eccentric corridors of Pee-wee Herman’s colorful mind.Embrace the Weird:Paul Reubens, the maestro behind Pee-wee, teaches us that it’s okay to embrace our weirdness. In a world that often whispers conformity, Pee-wee’s unabashed celebration of the peculiar becomes a beacon of light. Even more so now in 2024!Diversity, the Spice of Adventure:As Pee-wee embarks on his quest to recover his beloved bicycle, he encounters a kaleidoscope of characters that paint the landscape of his adventure. Each one is a brushstroke in the portrait of diversity – a waitress with dreams, a quirky motorcycle gang, and a neighbor who can’t resist a bit of envy. It’s a reminder that life’s adventure is richer when we surround ourselves with those who march to the beat of their drum.Be Yourself, Unapologetically:In a world where fitting in often takes center stage, Pee-wee’s unapologetic self-expression becomes a heartwarming anthem. He wears his quirks like a badge of honor, reminding us that the journey of self-discovery is best traveled in our authentic skin. “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure” is an invitation to dance to your tune, even if it involves a dance with a giant dinosaur. Hee-hee!Sweet Nostalgia and Burtonesque Charm:A Young Tim Burton’s directorial touch weaves its enchantment throughout, turning mundane landscapes into surreal tapestries. The film unfolds like a living, breathing Burton creation, with shadows that speak, colors that pop, and an overall charm that tugs at the heartstrings. It’s the kind of whimsy that leaves you with a smile, long after the credits roll.The Alamo, Bikes, and Beyond:As Pee-wee’s journey takes unexpected turns, from the Alamo to the movie set where his bike has found a new purpose, the film becomes a delightful rollercoaster of laughter and heart. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the destination matters less than the detours that shape the adventure.In the end, “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure” is not just a movie; it’s a celebration of individuality, a love letter to the oddities that make life extraordinary. So, hop on your peculiar bicycle of uniqueness, and let Pee-wee be your guide through the charming landscapes of embracing the wonderfully weird. 🌟🚴‍♂️✨

Title: Simply put: you’ll either LOVE it or HATE it.
Review: BOTTOM LINE: Paul Reuben’s bizarre nightclub creation, infant man character Pee Wee Herman, gets his very own big screen debut in this no budget wonder that slipped under the radar back in 1985, putting director Tim Burton & star Reubens on the Hollywood map. The movie will almost certainly entrench viewers into the LOVE or HATE camp with equal ferocity. I’ll grant you that it may not be the most pithy or highbrow of scripts nor concepts, but for unashamed silliness it’s hard to top this charming, child-like, (and proudly childish), film. And just remember, if someone says you’re an idiot for liking this film, you can cleverly respond with “I know YOU are, but what am I??” 5 STARS.THOUGHTS: Pee-wee Herman isn’t for everybody and neither is this oddball little comedy movie from waaay back in 1985. You’re either gonna love this silly film and watch it over & over, laughing until your sides hurt… or you’ll shut it off minutes after you start watching it, thinking it’s absolutely the stupidest thing you’ve ever seen. Not much middle ground here. You can tell by my rating that I’m a fan who loves this oddball flick. Director Tim Burton really proved his unique talents with this bizarre effort early in his career, crafting a pretty amazing movie with almost no prep time & practically zero budget. Yet everything works somehow. That’s saying something, since the movie is essentially a bunch of little comedy snippets loosely sewn together into a surreal, demented “road film.” The movie’s musical score is a real treat, too. Composer Danny Elfman is another one of those polarizing movie talents; folks seem to either love him to death or hate him with a passion. Here, his score seems so perfectly suited to the visuals that I cannot imagine this film without his musical contributions. This movie wouldn’t be half as much fun without Elfman’s light, circus-like themes, flawlessly complimenting Burton’s cotton candy, fever-dream visuals.Fans of this film know all the great scenes: Pee-wee’s crazy house and the opening Rube Goldberg breakfast scene. Large Marge. The biker bar. The studio chase finale. And they can probably quote most of the goofy dialogue, as well. This movie is harmless silly fun. It never fails to put a smile on my face and makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it, no matter how bad of a mood I may have been in. That’s comedy’s job and this comedy film does it like few others can. :-)THE BLU-RAY: This hi-def release from Warner Bros. is a winner. Firstly the audio & video potion of the transfer make this edition look & sound worlds beyond all previous formats. The picture is razor sharp most of the time, with little in the way of pixelation, edge enhancement, artifacting or DNR scrubbing. Blacks are inky & solid and the mid-tones aren’t overpowered by the bright eye-popping color palette. The soundtrack is equally clear & clean, and properly balanced between music/sound effects and dialogue. A decent selection of bonus features makes this purchase a no-brainer for Pee Wee fans, and worth double dipping if you already own it on DVD.

Title: An absolute classic which I did purchase in the wake of Paul Reuben’s passing.
Review: This movie is a great part of my childhood – I’ll always have fond feelings for it and will probably watch it very often. It was the major directorial debut of Tim Burton, and the major composer debut of Danny Elfman, formerly of the band Oingo Boingo – both influences make for a humorous, offbeat, sometimes disturbing but overall wholesome hour and 1/2 excursion into craziness.Pee-wee Herman – Reubens’ most famous character – is a manchild who probably never grew up in his mind past eight or nine, but inexplicably lives in a big fancy house and keeps it very well. His most prized possession, which unfortunately does not continue in this franchise, is an awesome bicycle, which he along with the help of his friend from the bike shop Dottie has tricked out with multiple gadgets and fun things. Life is going great for Pee-wee, until the fellow manchild rival Francis comes along and wants to buy his bicycle for his birthday – Pee-wee of course tells him that he can’t have it, so Francis has it stolen – and so begins the road trip!Just watch the movie! It’s really amazing and I’m sure you’ll like it a great deal.

Review: Sonderling Pee-Wee (Pee-Wee Herman = Paul Reubens) besitzt zahlreiche technische Spielereien, aber auf nichts ist er so stolz wie auf sein rotes Luxus-Fahrrad. Den Kaufwunsch des reichen und neidischen Nachbarn Francis lehnt er empört ab. Doch trotz Sicherung mit einer überdimensionalen Kette wird das Rad Tage später während eines Einkaufsbummels gestohlen. Zu Recht verdächtigt er Francis, der einen Dieb beauftragt hatte, alles leugnet und wegen der von Pee-Wee ausgesetzten Belohnung von 10000 Dollar das Rad nicht mehr will. Pee-Wee befragt eine Wahrsagerin und begibt sich auf die abenteuerliche Suche nach dem Fahrrad …Tim Burton (*1958) übernahm die Idee für sein Spielfilmdebüt von dem neorealistischen italienischen Klassiker FAHRRADDIEBE (1948) und drehte einen in seiner Farbenpracht überbordenden unbeschwerten Film, der bereits viel von seinem unbedingten Stilwillen offenbarte. In Deutschland wurde PEE-WEE’s BIG ADVENTURE 1986 nur auf Video gezeigt und von der zeitgenössischen Kritik gnadenlos verrissen: “Dieser Typ mit der roten Fliege ist genauso dämlich wie das infantile Gekicher, das er von sich gibt. Er wandelt wie ein Idiot durch einen idiotischen Film, immer auf der Suche nach seinem geklauten Fahrrad. Er findet es in einem Filmstudio, wo verschiedene – wohlbekannte – Filme in Arbeit sind, in die er hineinstolpert. Sinnfälliger kann man nicht machen, dass das gute alte Hollywood zum Selbstbedienungsladen für erbärmliche Epigonen verkommen ist.” (Fischer Film Almanach 1987) 30 Jahre nach seiner Premiere ist der Film ein interessanter Einblick in die Anfänge Tim Burtons und auch durchaus noch ein komödiantisches Vergnügen.Die Blu-ray von WARNER zeigt den Film in hervorragender Bildqualität. Der deutsche Ton liegt in DD 1.0 vor, weitere Tonspuren Englisch DTS-HD MA 5.1 und Italienisch DD 1.0. Optionale Untertitel (für HG) liegen in den genannten Sprachen vor. Als Extras gibt es einen Audiokommentar mit Paul Reubens und Tim Burton, eine isolierte Musiktonspur mit Audiokommentar von Danny Elfman (beides nicht untertitelt), nicht verwendete Szenen (11 min, untertitelbar), Storyboard-Vergleiche (11 min, untertitelbar) und den US-Kinotrailer.Für Fans von Tim Burton eine sehr empfehlenswerte Veröffentlichung!

Review: Non capisco com’è possibile trattare in questo modo i prodotti che vengono acquistati. E chi ha fatto questo ha cercato di riparare dandoci un giro di scotch al pacco..purtroppo al momento del ritiro non ero presente.non acquisterò nessun’altra articolo se le protezioni sono così scarse.

Review: Un divertissement autour du vélo pour passer un bon moment en famille. Un classique qui ne vieilli pas à visionner dès que l’on déprime.
