The Dryden will screen Pee-wee's Big Adventure (Tim Burton, U.S. 1985, 90 min., 35mm) as part of the Dryden Kids series.

In the strange and wonderful story of a man-child in search of his beloved bicycle, Paul Reubens introduced movie audiences around the world to one of the iconic figures of the 1980s, Pee-wee Herman. First-time feature director Tim Burton and co-writers Reubens and Phil Hartman craft a narrative and emotional atmosphere that secretly recall the neorealist classic The Bicycle Thief.
