The Big Top Pee-wee [screen print posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-54) pays tribute to the [1988 beloved family comedy movie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boos-door).

The posters embody the film as it has a circus theme and is in cartoon form, which gives it a more playful and childish vibe. The style of drawing chosen is very reminiscent of 1930s cartoon movie posters. The artwork was created by California artists Dan Kuhlken and Nathan Goldman for DKNG Studios. For Pee-wee Herman fans both young and old, this is a great commemorative piece that will sure to be forever treasured.

Unfortunately for those adoring fans, the Big Top Pee-wee 24 x 36 screen prints are currently sold out. However, keep checking back at [Mondo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mondo-model) online as they may decide to manufacture more due to its popularity.
