Tim Burton directed 'Pee-Wee's Big Adventure' as his feature film debut, starring Paul Reubens.
The film was hugely popular. Release on 9 August 1985 in the United States in 829 theaters, it gathered $4,545,847 by the end of its first week.
'Pee -Wee's Big Adventure' has a great cast and even greater performances, making it a heartwarming and fun story. Pee-Wee, the main character of the film, is often heard saying, "Shhh, I'm listening to reason", "it is what it is" and more great quotes.
The story is all about Pee-Wee Herman, and his exciting, and rather funny, life. His home is loaded with toys and contraptions. He has a pet dog named Speck, and he also has a bike which he loves and cherishes like his own child.
In the film, Pee-Wee discovers that his bicycle is missing. He quickly puts the blame on a character called Francis Buxton, who we have previously seen pining for Pee-Wee's bicycle.
Whilst he didn't see Francis steal the bike, Pee-Wee is sure that Francis Buxton has taken his prized possesion, but Francis claims that he has nothing to do with it.
Pee-Wee is resolved to find his bicycle, one way or another, and sets out on an adventure to track down and reclaim it. The movie has many great characters in supporting roles played by E. G. Daily, Mark Holton, Diane Salinger, and Judd Omen.
