Pee-wee's Playhouse: The Movie,[25][82] 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 "puppet land". All of the original characters of the show, live-action and puppets, are included in Reubens' script. The story happens in a fantasy land that would be reminiscent of H.R. Pufnstuf and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.[81] On January 2009 Reubens told Gary Panter that the Pee-wee's Big Adventures rejected first script (which they co-wrote) could have a movie deal very soon, and that it would be "90 minutes of incredible beauty".[83]
Although he hasn't revealed much about the scripts, he has said that one of the two films opens in prison.[60] He has also said that using CGI for "updating" the puppets' looks could be an option, but it all depended on the budget the films would have.[12] Reubens once mentioned the possibility of doing one of the two as an animated film along the lines of The Polar Express, which uses performance capture technology, incorporating the movements of live actors into animated characters.[81]
Reubens approached Peewee's Big Adventure director Tim Burton with one of the scripts, but because of his other projects he declined.[81]
Reubens' present age and shape have been pointed out as a possible issue, since Pee-wee's slim figure and clean skin have been one of his trademarks. But after appearing for the first time since 1992 as Pee-wee at Spike TV's 2007 Guys' Choice Awards, Reubens remains optimistic and has jokingly said he's no longer nervous about being young Pee-wee again thanks to digital retouching.[24] Reubens has also talked to Johnny Depp about the possibility of having him portray Pee-wee.[81]
