Pee-Wee Pictures

Background

This is the production company of Paul Reubens. It produced two productions, both of which starred Reubens as his character Pee-Wee Herman: the television series Pee-Wee's Playhouse and the Netflix film Pee-Wee's Big Holiday. The company has likely gone dormant afterwards, especially after Reubens died on July 30, 2023.
