More on Pee-wee's Big Adventure
Description from Wikipedia:
Pee-wee's Big Adventure is a 1985 adventure comedy film directed by Tim Burton in his full-length film debut. Paul Reubens, Phil Hartman and Michael Varhol wrote the script, starring Paul Reubens as Pee-wee Herman, Elizabeth Daily, Mark Holton and Diane Salinger. The film tells the story of Pee-wee Herman embarking on nation-wide adventure in search of his stolen bicycle.
The success of The Pee-wee Herman Show prompted Warner Bros. to hire Reubens to write a script for a full-length Pee-Wee Herman film. Reubens' original idea was to do a remake of Pollyanna with Pee-wee Herman in the Hayley Mills role. Burton was hired as director once Reubens and the producers saw his work on Vincent and Frankenweenie. Pee-wee's Big Adventure was a financial and critical success and became a cult film.
