Look at me, I'm getting defensive about something that happened so many years ago, somebody said. I'll have to find out who that was and if he's still alive.

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.
