Barnes & Noble Have yourself a Pee-wee little Christmas with the long-awaited DVD debut of this very nice and only a little bit naughty 1988 Christmas special. Pee-wee Herman, his pals, and playmates deck the Playhouse with holiday cheer. The eclectic, all-inclusive guest list includes Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, Grace Jones, Cher, Magic Johnson (who knew he was Magic Screens cousin?), k. d. lang, Charo, Zsa Zsa Gabor, campy 1950s sister act the Del Rubio Triplets, and Little Richard (on skates!). Dinah Shore phones in a rendition of "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Joan Rivers also offer seasons greetings. It wouldnt be Christmas at the Playhouse without a mistletoe-bedecked Miss Yvonne, vintage holiday-themed animation from the King of Cartoons, and a claymation winter wonderland scene inside the Playhouse icebox. Meanwhile, the Dinosaur family engages in Hannukah festivities. But will Pee-wees massive gift list drain Santas toy supply for the rest of the worlds children? Not likely, as it wouldn’t be a Christmas special without someone having the greed chastened out of him -- such as Pee-wee! As warm as hot chocolate and as nutty as a fruitcake, Pee-wees Playhouse Christmas Special not only ranks among the all-time greats of the genre, it takes the crown for inspired eccentricity.
