Tim Burton celebrates 40 years of filmmaking this year, which makes it the ideal time to look back at Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, which comes from a critical period in the director’s career. Across four decades, Burton has been responsible for some of the most iconic characters in cinema. From Beetlejuice to Batman to Edward Scissorhands, Burton is doubtlessly one of the most influential directors in Hollywood. The important hallmarks of Burton’s movies ensure his inimitable style presents itself effectively, and despite facing continuous criticism during the 2000s, Burton’s recent success with Beetlejuice 2 is a testament to his greatest strengths.
