Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This not-sequel to Pee-wee's Big Adventure, released in 1988, draws a great deal of inspiration from the classic story Pollyanna, which Paul Ruebens had wanted to do with this film's predecessor. This time around the director is Randal Kleiser (who also directed Grease and The Blue Lagoon), so the film has a different style (not to mention that there's a lot of jokes and references reused from the earlier film and the Pee-wee's Playhouse TV show).Pee-wee Herman lives in a farm, with his animal friends including a talking pig named Vance. He has also invented trees that grow hot dogs. One day, a tornado hits the farm bringing a bunch of displaced circus performers with it. The performers include ringleader Mace Montana; his 5-inch tall wife, Midge, and an acrobat named Gina (Valeria Golino), whom Pee-wee falls in love with, despite the fact that he is engaged to Winnie, a local school teacher. Also, many of the other townspeople and the sheriff are not happy with the circus being in town, and threaten to have Pee-wee arrested, but Pee-wee has a plan of his own.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Big Top Pee-wee / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: There's plenty of modern and even fantastical examples of technology present, but the town Pee-wee lives near seems to have been locked in stasis since the 1910's. Though since the townspeople are old, they likely grew up around that time period. | |

Artistic License – Law | |
| Big Top Pee-wee / int_8391b1c7 | comment |
Artistic License – Law: One has to wonder if Winnie thought through agreeing to marry four dudes, since the law tends to frown on polygamy. Granted, this is pretty easy to dismiss in a setting filled with talking pigs, five-inch-high women, and trees that grow youth-restoring luncheon meat. | |

The Big Damn Kiss | |
| Big Top Pee-wee / int_9438e550 | comment |
The Big Damn Kiss: Between Pee-Wee and Gina. At least 90 seconds of screen time; other than the camera slowly pulling back, it is one continuous shot. The BGM even crescendos and ends in the middle of the kiss, restarting halfway in. One can easily picture the composer shrugging and striking up the band again. They then do another right before and almost into the credit roll. | |

Accidental Misnaming: Mr. Ryan called Mace Montana "Mr. Wyoming". Of course since this is Mr. Ryan, he likely doesn't care. | |
