Actor Paul Reuben, who played Pee-Wee, already had a semi-successful comedy act.
Rueben and Burton got together and collaborated on Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure about a man/child who goes on a quest to find his beloved stolen bike.
The adventure takes Pee-Wee across the United States where he encounters bikers, a ghost, an escaped prisoner, a lovelorn waitress, Hollywood, the Alamo, a dinosaur park and more.
Delightfully wacky and imaginative Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure is considered a classic by movie film lovers.
Reuben’s delivers a brilliant performance. His man/child Pee-Wee character is frantic, frenetic, funny and a perfect foil for a spoiled rich kid, bikers, a bully and the police.
Tim Burton delivers a cleverly constructed and unique directorial delight as he leads Pee-wee through a montage of locations, unique situations, unusual encounters and break neck speed action.
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, from Warner Bros./Discovery is the perfect film for kids and adults with enough innuendoes, inside jokes, hilarious visuals and sweet moments to please even the most skeptical movie goer.
It’s fun, funny and fantastic.
Pee-Wee would go on to star in one more big screen movie, a made-for-TV movie, a multi-Emmy Award winning Saturday morning TV series, TV specials, guest appearances and generate a plethora of promotional material.
