Pee-wee's Big Adventure/Fridge

Fridge Horror

• • Very few of the animals that Pee-wee sets free from the pet store would be able to survive in the wild.
  • Considering how quick the police and fire departments got there, I'm guessing Animal Control wasn't too far behind.
  • They'd last a hell of a lot longer than they would inside a store that's on fire.

Fridge Logic

• • Only a suicidal idiot would try to keep a chimpanzee as a pet (see the listing on Charla Nash on the Nightmare Face page to see why--or better yet, don't), so why is there one in a cage at the pet store? For that matter, what about the birds that appear to be chickens or pheasants, birds that aren't normally kept as pets?
  • Being that Pee-wee is, as mentioned above, an Adult Child, how exactly does he afford that enormous house and all the crap that's stuffed in it to the very rafters? Francis at least has his dad to rely on, but Pee-wee doesn't appear to even have a job.
  • Where exactly does Pee-wee get those disguises from when he and Mickey are trying to get past the police checkpoint? That bindle doesn't look anywhere big enough. Maybe Mickey had some women's clothes stashed in the back?
    • It's a bindle in a wacky comedy. It's obviously a Bag of Holding.
    • As for the disguises - the car is stolen.

Fridge Brilliance

• • Why is Mickey checking out Pee Wee Disguised in Drag - oh, he just got out of prison!
