There are certain cinematic traditions that have made closing out these past few difficult years easier, more cathartic. One of which is TCM’s annual remembrance montage which is longer and more inclusive than what the Oscars can offer. It’s a good chance to remember, reflect, and give thanks for the gifts these artists have bestowed upon us.
For Short Film Saturday for most of the past year and a half, I have revisited the animated shorts that were presented in snippets by the King of Cartoons on Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. On this blog I’ve presented these shorts in their entirety and will soon post a recap page. Aside from his acting work, showcasing these cartoons is another way in which Paul Reubens, through his character Pee-Wee Herman, left behind a lasting legacy. I hope you’ve enjoyed the retrospective.
