Pee-wee Herman's iconic red bicycle to be permanently displayed at the Alamo
No, it won't be in the basement. The red-and-white souped-up Schwinn bicycle made famous in the 1985 film 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure' will soon have a new permanent home in what is arguably one of the unusual movie tie-ins in the history of celluloid. The bike — which served as the MacGuffin in the Tim Burton-directed cult favorite — will be permanently displayed in the Alamo Visitor Center and Museum in San Antonio to mark the 40th anniversary of the movie's theatrical release.

'The Alamo holds a special place in the hearts of people everywhere, and Pee-wee's Big Adventure helped to introduce a new generation to the historic site. This artifact perfectly illustrates how the Alamo lives on in pop culture, and soon, visitors to Texas' top tourist destination will be able to see it up close in our new world-class museum.'

After meeting a slate of oddball characters and having a wild series of misadventures — which finds Pee-wee keeping company with a felon on the run, ticking off a biker gang and hitching a ride with the ghost of a dead trucker named Large Marge — he arrives at the Alamo, only to learn it doesn't even have a basement. Since the release of the film, the bicycle has shared an inexorable connection with the famous fortress among fans and has become a widely recognizable piece of movie memorabilia.

With a production cost of just $7 million, 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure' grossed nearly $41 million ($119 million in 2025 dollars) and sparked a much-maligned and less-successful sequel, 'Big Top Pee-wee' in 1988. 6 Since the release of the film, the bicycle has shared an inexorable connection with the famous fortress among fans and has become a widely recognizable piece of movie memorabilia.

'We'll also be hosting a free public screening of the film in the newly reopened Plaza de Valero. Until then, don't worry… the bike will be stored for safekeeping. Maybe in the basement!' Pee-wee's bike sold at auction to a private collector in May for $125,000 — after it was originally expected to fetch between $30,000 and $60,000, according to People.

The show is set to premiere in 2026, with each season following one of J.K. Rowling's seven 'Harry Potter' books. In February, news broke that John Lithgow was headed to Hogwarts, playing the role of Professor Albus Dumbledore. Shortly after, the actor, 79, confirmed the news in an interview with ScreenRant. 9 Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint in the 2002 film 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.' ©Warner Bros/courtesy Everett Co 'It came as a total surprise to me,' Lithgow admitted. 'I just got the phone call up at the Sundance Film Festival for yet another film, and it was not an easy decision because it's going to define me for the last chapter of my life, I'm afraid.' 'I'm very excited. Some wonderful people are turning their attention back to 'Harry Potter,'' continued the star. 'That's why it's been such a hard decision. I'll be about 87 years old at the wrap party, but I've said yes.'

'She's been fairly involved — she was very involved in the process of selecting the writer and the director,' he told reporters at the time, despite the author's history of anti-transgender rhetoric. 'I imagine she'll have opinions on casting,' Bloys added. 'It hasn't affected the casting or hiring of writers or production staff or anything, so we haven't felt any impact from that.' After the internet's reaction to Rowling signing onto the project, Lithgow said he 'absolutely' didn't expect to get as much hate as he did from her critics. 'Of course, it was a big decision because it's probably the last major role I'll play,' he said during an interview with the Times of London. 'It's an eight-year commitment so I was just thinking about mortality and that this is a very good winding-down role.' Lithgrow added, 'I suppose at a certain point I'll meet her, and I'm curious to talk to her.'
