 Pee-wee's Big Adventure Pee-wee's Big Adventure Quote: Pee-wee's Big Adventure is a 1985 American adventure comedy film directed by Tim Burton in his full-length debut and starring Paul Reubens as Pee-wee Herman. Reubens also co-wrote the script with Phil Hartman and Michael Varhol. Supporting roles are played by Elizabeth Daily, Mark Holton, Diane Salinger and Judd Omen. Pee-wee's Big Adventure tells the story of Pee-wee Herman embarking on nation-wide adventure in search of his stolen bicycle.
After the success of The Pee-wee Herman Show, Reubens began writing the script to Pee-wee's Big Adventure when he was hired by Warner Bros. Pictures. The producers and Reubens hired Burton to direct when they were impressed with his work on Vincent and Frankenweenie. Filming took place in both California and Texas.
When Pee-wee's Big Adventure was released on August 9, 1985, it grossed over $40 million worldwide, but received generally mixed reviews. However, it eventually developed into a cult film and has since accumulated positive feedback. The film was nominated for a Young Artist Award and spawned a sequel, Big Top Pee-wee. The financial success of the film, followed by the equally successful Beetlejuice in 1988, prompted Warner Bros. to hire Burton as the director for the 1989 film, Batman.

I loved it! It was classic Tim Burton. Pee Wee was a wacky character, that was hysterical. I especially loved the dream sequences with the scary clowns, that was frightening. The bike was also really cool. I like when he dressed in drag, and acted like a woman just to get passed the cops, that was hilarious.

Its one of those movies, that looks to be hidden as a kids movie, but Burton filled it with so much Black humor and crazyness, that I think this movie belongs on anyones top comedies lists. Its so rediculous.

Re: Pee-wee's Big Adventure 9.0/10For as much as I love this film, I somehow forget Pee-wee's Big Adventure even exists! And more so than all but a handful of films, I enjoy it more and more each time I watch it. And the score!
