I've always felt like a kid, and I still feel like a kid, and I've never had any problem tapping into my childhood, and my kid side.

The second film a family friendly adventure is called Pee-wee's Playhouse: The Movie by Reubens and follows Pee-wee and his Playhouse friends on a road-trip adventure meaning that they would leave the house for the first time and go out into "Puppetland". Pee-wee's sneakers use a grey and white color scheme with red detail with an illustration on the insole of a man in a suit sitting alone in a theatre with his hand on his lap suggesting Reubens' 1991 theatre arrest. The next day after a local reporter recognized Reubens' name Reubens' attorney made the same offer to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune in exchange for withholding the story.

In 1982 Reubens put up a show about a character he had been developing during the last few years. In July 1991 after deciding to take a few years' sabbatical from Pee-wee Reubens was arrested for indecent exposure in an adult theater in Sarasota Florida. Since the 1990s he has worked on two possible Pee-wee films — one dark and adult dubbed The Pee-wee Herman Story and one a family-friendly epic adventure called Pee-wee's Playhouse: The Movie.
