Pee Wee Herman was a popular person in the realm of children's entertainment at that time. The movie Pee Wee's Big Adventure had come out a year earlier and he had a tv show on during Saturday mornings kids programs called Pee Wee's Playhouse. His voice was so recognizable at the time. As a kid when I watched this movie, I didn't realize that the actor voicing Max was the same as Pee Wee Herman. The voice did not sound noticably Pee Wee until after Max scanned David's brain, as a kid, I just assumed that David had seen the show or movie and Max picked that voice out of his brain to better relate to David. Now being older and realizing that David came from the 1970's, he probably didn't ever see the show unless by chance he saw it when he was locked up in his room.

The people who put this movie together aren't going to hire a different voice actor for Max just because you're in a snit. You can make demands all you want. it's not going to happen. If you don't like the voice, and if you really do feel that Pee-Wee's voice, "ruined," the movie, here's an idea: Either avoid watching the movie, or get ear plugs and rely on subtitles during the scenes with Max.
