Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes Pic!
Ah, Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, how I love you. Yes, Large Marge scared the shit out of me as a kid. Yes, most of the humor went way over my head, but that only lead to repeat viewings being even funnier as I grew up.
I was kind of obsessed with Pee-Wee Herman as a kid. Between this movie and my faithful Saturday mornings spent at his Playhouse (via TV, of course) he was one of my idols. I don’t really give a shit about Teddy Ruxpin anymore and the Ninja Turtles don’t mean as much to me as they used to, but goddamnit if I don’t love Pee-Wee just as much as (if not more than) I did as a kid.
The first movie is a huge part of that, thanks in no small part to the hungry filmmaking of a young Tim Burton, who is in the below photo… looking like a baby, by the way. How was he so young?!?
Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure is one of the great family films of the last half century and I’ll always love it..
Thanks to our own Latauro for sending this one along. Click for the bigger version! Hope you guys enjoy!
Tomorrow’s Behind the Scenes Pic features one of the best remakes of all time and one of the baddest badasses cinema has ever produced!
