That Time Tim Burton Showed Pee-wee Herman How to Hold a Fistful of Snakes

It's been 30 years since Pee-wee's Big Adventure was released way back in 1985, and what better way to celebrate than with some behind-the-scenes photos that have never seen by the general public?

Pee-wee Herman released a set of neat-o photos from the movie, which was directed by Tim Burton (his film directorial debut, no less). This photo above shows Tim Burton holding a bunch of snakes while Pee-wee looked on. It's from the Fire in the Pet Store scene, which you can see after the jump:

Very cute in concept...but BUYER BEWARE.
We spent $25,695 + $5,000 shipping on a custom tree house in 2009. It was delivered May 27, 2009. Too bad it had severe water damage, was water logged, cracked, has breaking off shingles and the door won't open because unsealed wood swelled up in the trunk that may or may not be actual redwood as promised. Nice.

They won't fix or refund it.
BUYER BEWARE.
This one is most likely going to court.
