Pee-wee Herman will bicycle the feature film, “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure,” across the U.S. and into a theatre near you as the Tim Burton-directed movie turns 35 this year.
“Pee-wee’s Big Adventure 35th Anniversary Tour with Paul Reubens” will hit cities across the U.S. with stops in Los Angeles at The Wiltern (Feb. 27), San Francisco at The Masonic (Feb. 28) and San Diego at Spreckels Theatre (Feb. 29). The tour consists of a screening and post-show discussion with the film’s co-writer and star Paul Reubens.
The suit-sporting, bike-pedalling, kidlike character came to the big screen in 1985 on the heels of the popularity of Reubens’ TV show “Pee-wee’s Playhouse.” It was Burton’s first full-length feature and had music by Danny Elfman. The movie was co-written by actor-writer Paul Reubens, who will talk about the making of the film. after each screening.
