Burton demonstrates his knack for building seemingly dynamic meta-worlds inside our own world, depicting Pee Wee's own journey as exciting, harrowing, and often times scary.

A purely creative movie that one must admit has no equal in cinema history (for better or worse). [Blu-ray]

Chiefly successful because of its commitment to an artistic ideal: make something that looks, talks, feels, and moves like a cartoon.

It's a true original -- a comedy maverick that looks and feels like no other movie I know.

The film's inventiveness is on display from the get-go.

Fed by comic tributaries perhaps, but Pee-Wee Herman comes over as a delightful original.

It's a bold attempt to do something dazzlingly original, although some of the gags are spectacularly unfunny and Pee-wee's nervous prattling can become irritating.

Reubens always lets us feel superior to his creation, and when his character slips, as it does more than once in this first feature outing, his own condescension shows through.

You have been warned.

Tim Burton's first (and best) movie...
February 09, 2010
Children should love the film and adults will be dismayed by the light brushstrokes with which Paul Reubens (one of three credited screenwriters, but star-billed under his stage name, Pee-wee Herman) suggests touches of Buster Keaton and Eddie Cantor.

Fair warning: this movie could induce terminal boredom in adults and rot the minds of the young.
