Did anybody like this movie more as an adult?

When I saw this movie as a little kid, I didn't think it was that great, but when I saw this as an adult, I thought it was a great movie.

Yes, I was 23 when I first saw this movie and loved it! I still watch it occasionally when I need a laugh.

I liked it the same as an adult, not more.

I think what you appreciate about it is different as an adult. As a kid you like PeeWee for his act, funny voices, and impressions. As an adult I love the movie as a "Road Trip" movie. It was Tim Burton's first movie and his many trademarks are present here. Also Danny Elfman's score is incredible.

This just happened to me, yeah.

Thought it was better now that I'm in my late forties, than we I first saw it at the age of 12.
