The wait is almost over, Pee-wee Herman fans. Netflix announced today that Pee-wee's Big Holiday, a new film from Paul Reubens' alter ego, debuts on Netflix March 18.

It's been more than 30 years since the first Pee-wee film. When Pee-wee's Big Adventure hit theaters in 1985, the idea of Netflix was still 10 years off. That movie brought in more than $40 million, but the 1988 follow-up, Big Top Pee-wee, was less successful with a $15 million lifetime gross.
