I saw it the day it came out with my parents. There were definitely a few tear-jerker moments. I'm glad I had the sense to bring some tissues with me...
Seen it twice. Will see it again. Relative issues and forgiveness...it affects us all. Speaking of which, the name change was likely due to the fact that the movie's producers / director wanted to add a family dynamic angle and since Tom Junod wasn't having family issues, he gave the producers permission to fictionalize his name to be able to add that aspect to the story. It isn't a WRONG so much as a bit of dramatic license. I saw a trailer for the movie Cobb (re : baseball Hall of Famer Ty Cobb ) with Tommy Lee Jones and , from what other people have said, the movie depiction was NOT kind or even true. So changing someone's name for the sake of adding a family dynamic ( WITH permission) is a lot kinder treatment than other celebs have received on film and in print.
I haven’t seen it yet, but I have a feeling I will cry. This video made me cry. So, your comment and this video pretty much confirm...I better bring a box of tissues.
I never stopped crying either and I didn't even grow up watching Mr. Rogers... Ha, I'm not even American. Yet the movie had my whole family crying from beginnig to end.
You should watch the documentary made a year before this movie was "Wont You Be My Neighbor" Be sure to have a box of Kleenex with you. You might end up using the whole box by the end of the film.
Tom Hanks did a phenomenal job, as Mr. Rogers, from the beginning! The part when he opened the "doors" to reveal pictures of people & he got to Mr. McFeely & he slowly, gently, said, "You know what he always says, right? Speedy delivery! Remember that he says that?" I thought he officially nailed it! ❤️
As a child growing up in the late 70's we would travel each Christmas from Australia to LA to be with family. I still remember watching Mister Rogers at my grandma's house on American tv during those short trips. 😀
I mean, really though, how good of a combination can you get? Tom Hanks, playing MR. ROGERS. It's like Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh, or Bert and Ernie.
how do you cast one of the kindest and happiest people of all time? you get TOM ******* HANKS. he was beyond amazing in this movie about someone I fondly remember from my childhood.
Mr Rogers taught me the value of everyone. Movies and tv later tried to tell me that people who are different then me in skin color or beliefs are bad, but Mr Rogers teaching was stronger then that. It’s funny because now that same media is trying to shame me for thoughts I do not have.
How come they kept showing the same series of clips (the one of Hanks in an interview about the film raising his hand making a point, Hanks visiting someone in a hospital, Rhys’ character in an office setting, Rhys’s character being handed a baby) for each “thing the film got right”? Were they not allowed to show too many clips in case of too many spoilers? I found it odd and obnoxious to keep seeing the same clips over and over again.
I didn't see Tom Hanks or any other character Tom Hanks ever played. I saw the very embodiment of Mister Fred Rogers. I thought it was by far the very best role Tom Hanks EVER played.
Well I only ever saw a couple of Mr. Rodgers episodes when I stayed with my grandparents. I grew up watching a lot of Disney movies like Toy story so that maybe why I’m only hearing woody 😂🤣 lolz. I wasn’t saying he didn’t do a fantastic job.
That’s a beautiful mission...he literally saw the beauty in all of us...and spoke to us believing in our higher self...I believe that’s why he was so special...not many souls in this world left with eyes like his 💙💙💙
I want to clarify why he liked the number 143. In his words, "It takes one letter to say I, four letters to say love, and three letters to say you. 143, I love you."
My son is in Heaven. He was a Veteran. He did an article for the Indiana Gazette when Mr Rogers went to Heaven. Jeremy John Berkheimer is my son. He died in May of 2017. I miss him but I know he is safe and is with Jesus. Jeremy was one of a kind and showed no shame when Mr Rogers died. Some people made fun of Mr Rogers and that was wrong. Mr. Roger's showed children they have value and that is how we change this world. I am proud of my sons, both of them. My sons grew up listening and watching Mr Rogers. We should not be ashamed to be proud we had people like Mr Rogers in our lives. Change lives by showing love and by listening to people without thinking about what we are going to say next when we talk with someone. We all need to be heard and known for who we are and what we think. We can change this world but first we need to change our selves. Isn't that what Mr Rogers did? He still stood up for himself and I think that's why Mrs. Rogers wanted to show he had flaws, it was a condition she had to have met in order to agree to allow this movie this movie about Mr Rogers to be made. I'm proud to be part of the Mr Rogers nation.
I first met Fred Rogers in 1955, outside the WQED Studios, which were then in an old castle-like building in Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood. I was seven years old. 47 years later, as a broadcast journalist, I covered his receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a ceremony at the White House. Fred Rogers taught me more about who I am, and how I should treat other people than anyone in my life, and it was all by example. This wonderful movie got the important stuff 100% right.
"An old castle like building in Oakland" is so easy to find. When you drive through Oakland, you know prestigious people used to live there. The structural architecture is amazing. Most of those castle like homes have been converted into apartments and offices, but some are still in their original glory.
@@cjgia4898 Yep. And this one is easier than most. It's on the corner of Fifth and Bellefield, across the street from the giant square on the Pitt Campus that contains the Cathedral of Leaning and the Heinz Chapel. I believe there's a marker out front noting this was where WQED got its start.
@@cjgia4898 Nope. It's on the corner of Fifth and Bellefield, and there's a church steeple across the street from it on one side, the old Mellon Institute (now CMU) building with all the columns as caddy-corner, and the giant lawn of that surrounds the Cathedral of Learning is across Fifth Avenue from it. The address is 4337 Fifth Avenue. If you googlemap 4339 Fifth Avenue you will see this wonderful building that brings back so many marvelous memories!
I've heard it said that Tom Hanks, the nicest man in Hollywood, played the nicest man in the world. I also recall in an interview with Mr. Rogers that he loved Forrest Gump and regarded it as one of his favorite movies of all time.
Mr. Rogers was a remarkable man is an inspiration to the children who are now adults today in this movie immortalizes him for who he was and who he is to us today and that I say... we will miss you Fred Rogers I hope you have found happiness and peace on the other side
I saw a comment in a video about Mr. Rogers that said "Mr. Rogers didn't die, God just needed a neighbor. I look forward to when I to must leave and I get to once again, be Mr. Roger's neighbor again
We need to follow his example so much in today's world. Relentless kindness. Using "Mercy" as an interjection (instead of the words many of us use)! Channeling your anger into creative expressions (as opposed to destructive ones).
I always watched Mr. Rodgers when I was a kid. Loved his show. I believe 100% that he is in Heaven. Mr. Rodgers died the same year my eldest daughter was born. Because of Mr. Rodgers, I try to be as loving and caring to everyone I meet.
"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news my mother would say to me, 'Look for helpers. You will always find people helping.''" - Fred Rogers
A Hero is a person who despite the whole world calling a hero doesn't believe he is for doing what the whole world should be doing. A Hero is the first responder who runs into danger to save people he doesn't even know. A hero is those people spend a lot of their lives teaching the youth of the world for little pay and some times little gratitude. A hero is the military man who leaves his family and home for months or years at a time to protect America and some times to protect smaller countries who have no protection of their own. A hero is the doctor who will travel to the ends of the earth for little to pay to treat people who normally would have access to medical help. Ever since I saw my first ever episode of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood and he told me I was special and a good person I gained a new Hero RIP Hero
Mr. Rogers was an ordinary man. He had hardships as a child that gave him a big heart for people. Unlike most of us, Mr. Rogers decided to stop and care deeply about people he met. He understood how rare that really is. So he touched many lives with his warmth and optimism. I think there is a little bit of "ordinary" in all of us and more than a little bit of hardship that we relate to. We all feel like there isn't someone who will take the time to listen and ask what we feel deeply. Even our close friends and family rarely do that the way Mr. Rogers did. I think Fred Rogers understood that aggressive empathy reaches into people and connects with a craving for hope and help. He made a point of living in the now and genuinely caring about the person right in front of him. I think we are jealous that he lived a full life everyday. If only we could all become a Mr. Rogers to the people around us.
I saw the movie last night. I cried several times. The acting was good and the situations extremely dramatic and emotional. I saw the documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor" last year as well. I am left with the impression that Fred Rogers was a very, very good man. He was not perfect, as he would be first to tell you. To think of him as a saint diminishes the effort it took for him to strive to be the best person he could. He worked hard at kindness, every day. He did not think of himself as a hero, and was consistently perplexed that anyone else did. He was a complex, flawed, and amazing person.
When I was little I always thought his voice was relaxing. Like how Bob Ross is too. Soothing voices that are calm and gentle...... I miss these two so very much. Wish I could've meet them both in real life! 😰😊
That's why Mr. Rogers worked so hard to teach us to be like him. Not that we need him more than ever, we need to have more like him than ever. We have to lead by the same example he did. ❤️
I am so proud to say that Mister Rogers was my friend. We exchanged more than two dozen letters. Every letter I wrote him, to thank him for a letter was always answered. He became my friend through those letters and when I moved to Germany, I became his German neighbor. He honored me with his caring nature and being as busy as he was it really was a surprise to me that he actually had the time to answer my letters.
Changing the reporter’s name was a decision, not a mistake. It allowed the writer to compile traits of people into one character. It was fair and it was brilliant. One of the best biopix ever made. Bravo!
I don’t remember watching Mr.Rodgers as a kid but I loved the movie. I took my nephew to go see it and it absolutely warmed my heart. It made me feel like I’ve been watching Mr. Rodgers for years
i absolutely loved this movie. it made me cry several times and actually forced me to take a long hard look at myself. i wasnt fully prepared for it but i was glad i did. the world needs more ppl like Bob Ross and Fred Rogers
I don't know how I never noticed it before, but I own a bench that's identical to the one Mr. Rogers sat on to change his shoes... and I've owned it for more than 40 years! I bought it from a neighbor's yard sale when I was a teenager, and I used it then to keep my shoes in.
If it wasn't for him to sit in front of our government to further fund public broadcasting back in the 60s, you'd never have all the brilliant things (at least me) we grew up with, grew fond of and carry among us to this day. Mr. Rogers will always be my favorite neighbor!
Mr. Rogers was not a celebrity. He was not an actor. He was an educator, a philanthropist, a leader, an example to all. He was the real man you saw in television. I remember seeing the swimming episode. I forgot another thing he was. He was a hero. 20 March 1928 is his birthday. Please celebrate it. After his death, the world has decayed socially to dismal levels. Not knowing his death date, you can still almost point out the year he died just by the sudden drop in the state of society. I remember watching Mr. Rogers translated and voice dubbed when I was just a lad, in my original language. I wonder how many nations aired his message in different languages. Nobody has succeeded Mr. Rogers, after his death. I know nobody can replace him. But nobody has even tried to succeed him since his death. I am glad his show continues in a sense as Daniel Tiger's Neighbourhood. But someone must succeed him. We need our leader back.
I never saw the neighborhood show and the movie but he seem like an amazing perosn a wholesome person i wish i could watched the show or meet him irl let I'm too young to see him 💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭
Ahmad samman, I would suggest you look up the first episode on RUclips. It's in black and white! I was only a toddler when Mr. Rogers died, but I think of him as a personal hero, since I work in the early childhood development field.
In my opinion, Mr. Rogers was the last bit of kindness and hope to the world. We don't see anywhere near his level of how he viewed and treated everyone.
As a grown up now I did watch mr. Rogers but not all the way through I always thought that it was corny but I watched the movie with Tom Hanks and my thoughts have changed maybe I should have watched Mister Rogers the movie was good but I think mr. Rogers would be a lot better if it was on TV today with our kids God bless him
I loved this movie. I knew that not all was real but it moved the movie forward. My guess was the stuff about the family was embellished. I learned so much from this movie however. Even a documentary can get it wrong.
I am very young so i had no idea who fred rogers was until i stumbled upon a let me explain video which was talking about a beautiful day in the neighborhood and then i researched fred rogers and realised he died. When i realised what a good person he was, i got upset. But regardless if i know him or not, Thank you, Mr Rogers.
I went to see "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood", starring Tom Hanks as Mister Rogers. As every movie about real people, I knew that certain liberties would be taken to make this different from the real people and events. I've never heard of Tom Junod before the movie. I've heard of "Esquire", I didn't know they had someone interview Mister Rogers.
That quip about vegetarianism. The normal, believe it or not, US diet is vegetarian. Would rogers be a vegan? Maybe, but he wouldn't be the vegan champion.
also: Shoelaces were too long and fat on Mr's shoes. There also was no twinkle of piano keys when he tossed the shoe from one to the other. he missed the zipper cue, 'Beeeeeeuuuuutiful day'. Would have used another take , but that is just me being picky, as it was a great movie.
There was something the movie got wrong. The scene with Daniel Tiger and Lady Aberlin. In the movie, they claim Daniel was sprayed by a skunk. That was not true. Audry the duck was sprayed by Mr. Skunk. Handyman Negri caught some of the overspray. So they both needed a bath.
I'm not familiar with Mr Rogers since I didn't grew up in America. But I finally watched it after "putting it off" for a month. Best decision because the movie broke me. I couldn't stop crying.
In the movie, he sounds and acts like a creep. But when I see the real person on RUclips, he's not. Tom Hanks may be a great actor but I feel he failed this. All that puppet business, slow-acting, and his tone didn't do justice. Maybe he overdid or something. But that failed.
Have you seen A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood? Let us know your thoughts below!
Ok
I saw it the day it came out with my parents. There were definitely a few tear-jerker moments. I'm glad I had the sense to bring some tissues with me...

MsMojo Do you think this film will be nominated for at the Oscars in Febuary 2020
I don't believe I stopped crying throughout the entire film. I never expected this film to hit me that hard with nostalgia.

Aly No. Happens. Bye

All heroes don’t wear capes-some wear sweaters knit by their mothers! RIP Fred, Pittsburgh’s favorite son forever!
Oh he had favorites?
Amen. Mr. Roger's was a hero!! I never beleived the rumors about him. I never met Mr. Rogers
That's the most beautiful thing I heard anybody say about a person

I really wish pbs would replay episodes every day! Maybe we would be a more gentle, more caring, more loving society!
They have a new show based off of Daniel tiger the puppet. It doesn't have that same heart if I'm being honest
Music_is_Calming, i mean at least they tried by bringing the song back
Jonathan Mosebach ❤️❤️
He was an odd man in this world. He seems to have been the real deal in a world full of fakes and frauds.
Thank u Mr Rogers for being a part of my childhood. I was very blessed to have your show on for its last year. RIP my friend!
As a child growing up in the late 70's we would travel each Christmas from Australia to LA to be with family.
I still remember watching Mister Rogers at my grandma's house on American tv during those short trips. 😀
The world wasn’t ready for that kind of journalism, now we crave it
I mean, really though, how good of a combination can you get? Tom Hanks, playing MR. ROGERS. It's like Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh, or Bert and Ernie.
The casting choice is what gave me faith in trusting the movie would be good.
👍❤
I havent seen Bert and Ernie in sooo long
Does anyone else think Joaquin Phoenix should have played Tom Junod in this move??? I think he looks so much like the real journalist!!
Fred Rogers is a wonderful man. I don't know what we did to deserve such a kind and wonderful soul but I'm glad we had him when we did.
how do you cast one of the kindest and happiest people of all time? you get TOM ******* HANKS. he was beyond amazing in this movie about someone I fondly remember from my childhood.
Mr. Rogers as a humanitarian or Tom Hanks as one of the best actors to ever hold the job.........?
Beautyful, beautyful, beautyful Ms. Rogers!👍tank-you!!!🙏🌻
Mr Rogers taught me the value of everyone. Movies and tv later tried to tell me that people who are different then me in skin color or beliefs are bad, but Mr Rogers teaching was stronger then that. It’s funny because now that same media is trying to shame me for thoughts I do not have.
We need a Mr Rodgers in a society we live in today
I just kept on smiling in this video for no reason, i think Mr rogers has something to do with it :D
I would do anything to get Mr. Rogers' advise right about now
Such an amazing man! We need someone like him today!!
It was extremely beYOUtiful... Mr. Rogers would've approved!
I love Mr. Rogers!
I love Mr. Rogers, too!
The scene with the moment of silence made me C R Y
How come they kept showing the same series of clips (the one of Hanks in an interview about the film raising his hand making a point, Hanks visiting someone in a hospital, Rhys’ character in an office setting, Rhys’s character being handed a baby) for each “thing the film got right”? Were they not allowed to show too many clips in case of too many spoilers? I found it odd and obnoxious to keep seeing the same clips over and over again.
They only have so much money to pay for clips they're allowed to use, so they just reuse the ones they got.
I felt like they some of the points were a bit redundant. Which explains the repeat of clips.
It appears they are using only clips from the trailer.
Mr Rodgers = 🐐
The journalist looks like Joaquin Phoenix
I thought the same thing! 😂
I literally paused the video to see if anyone else made that connection. Uncanny, the resemblance!
I could have sworn it was at first. They almost look identical
That’s the comment I was looking for lol
Tom Junod looks like Joaquin Phoenix
Is it just me or does Tom Junod look like Joaquin Phoenix?
Tom Hanks was the wrong choice
I’m sorry I just hear woody singing 🤣

This is why I did not watch the movie. It was to much uncanny valley.
No one cares it was a really good movie
Tom Hanks is NOT the actor to portray Mr. Rogers!!!!!!
Goddam I hate tom hanks
why?
Guy Person What’s wrong with his humor???
My mission for 2020 is to become the person Mr. Rogers knew I could become.
It's like the saying "be the person your dog thinks you are." But we can be the people Mr. Rogers KNEW we were. ❤️
Fryode I’m with you Fryode, brother!
That’s a beautiful mission...he literally saw the beauty in all of us...and spoke to us believing in our higher self...I believe that’s why he was so special...not many souls in this world left with eyes like his 💙💙💙
This is an amazing goal. This is a goal I strive to reach, and we all should strive to reach everyday.
He loved us just the way we are, right now in this present moment.
I want to clarify why he liked the number 143. In his words,
"It takes one letter to say I, four letters to say love, and three letters to say you. 143, I love you."
Fun fact: 143 pounds is the weighg at which hr maintained most of his adult life, too!
No, he was a sniper in Nam with 143 kills
What is cool is the ties he is wearing in the movie is his real ties. Mr. Rogers wife gave Tom Hanks some of his favorite ties.
wow

I am proud of my sons, both of them.
My sons grew up listening and watching Mr Rogers.
We should not be ashamed to be proud we had people like Mr Rogers in our lives.
Change lives by showing love and by listening to people without thinking about what we are going to say next when we talk with someone. We all need to be heard and known for who we are and what we think.
We can change this world but first we need to change our selves.

St. Frederick of Pittsburgh
In the movie his wife actually tackled this opinion
Someone doesn't have to be named a saint to be a saint.
Have ya'll never heard that Mr. Rogers really really doesn't want to be considered a saint? Like, really?

This was the saddest and most beautiful movie I’ve ever seen
I am so proud to say that Mister Rogers was my friend. We exchanged more than two dozen letters. Every letter I wrote him, to thank him for a letter was always answered. He became my friend through those letters and when I moved to Germany, I became his German neighbor. He honored me with his caring nature and being as busy as he was it really was a surprise to me that he actually had the time to answer my letters.
Changing the reporter’s name was a decision, not a mistake. It allowed the writer to compile traits of people into one character. It was fair and it was brilliant. One of the best biopix ever made. Bravo!
I don’t remember watching Mr.Rodgers as a kid but I loved the movie. I took my nephew to go see it and it absolutely warmed my heart. It made me feel like I’ve been watching Mr. Rodgers for years
Mr Rogers you got me trying to hold back the tears again. 😫
i absolutely loved this movie. it made me cry several times and actually forced me to take a long hard look at myself. i wasnt fully prepared for it but i was glad i did. the world needs more ppl like Bob Ross and Fred Rogers
I don't know how I never noticed it before, but I own a bench that's identical to the one Mr. Rogers sat on to change his shoes... and I've owned it for more than 40 years! I bought it from a neighbor's yard sale when I was a teenager, and I used it then to keep my shoes in.
If it wasn't for him to sit in front of our government to further fund public broadcasting back in the 60s, you'd never have all the brilliant things (at least me) we grew up with, grew fond of and carry among us to this day. Mr. Rogers will always be my favorite neighbor!
Agreed. Check out the video of him doing that, government agreed with him instantly, no hesitation, basically it was How much do you need Mr Rogers”!!
Something they didn't get right in the film? The red sweater! He hardly ever chose it, and I always wanted him to. lol.
I grew up watching Mr. Rogers. ❤ Loved him so much! Thank you Tom Hanks! ❤👍
Tom junold looks exactly like Joaquin Phoenix
Mr. Rogers was not a celebrity. He was not an actor. He was an educator, a philanthropist, a leader, an example to all. He was the real man you saw in television. I remember seeing the swimming episode. I forgot another thing he was. He was a hero. 20 March 1928 is his birthday. Please celebrate it. After his death, the world has decayed socially to dismal levels. Not knowing his death date, you can still almost point out the year he died just by the sudden drop in the state of society. I remember watching Mr. Rogers translated and voice dubbed when I was just a lad, in my original language. I wonder how many nations aired his message in different languages. Nobody has succeeded Mr. Rogers, after his death. I know nobody can replace him. But nobody has even tried to succeed him since his death. I am glad his show continues in a sense as Daniel Tiger's Neighbourhood. But someone must succeed him. We need our leader back.
I never saw the neighborhood show and the movie but he seem like an amazing perosn a wholesome person i wish i could watched the show or meet him irl let I'm too young to see him 💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭
Ahmad samman, I would suggest you look up the first episode on RUclips. It's in black and white! I was only a toddler when Mr. Rogers died, but I think of him as a personal hero, since I work in the early childhood development field.
@@readingwithelizabeth993 when did he die?? And really I'll look for it and thanks
@@ahmadsamman3992 He died in 2003.
Here in Sweden we never had A Beautiful Day run on TV. But me and my wife watched the movie a few weeks ago and it was so powerful! great, great film.
In my opinion, Mr. Rogers was the last bit of kindness and hope to the world. We don't see anywhere near his level of how he viewed and treated everyone.
Mr. Rogers is one of the strongest men I have ever seen
I'm sorry but I just can't really get into Tom Hanks's hipster version of Mr Rogers.
Me too. I don't like it at all.
As a grown up now I did watch mr. Rogers but not all the way through I always thought that it was corny but I watched the movie with Tom Hanks and my thoughts have changed maybe I should have watched Mister Rogers the movie was good but I think mr. Rogers would be a lot better if it was on TV today with our kids God bless him
I loved this movie. I knew that not all was real but it moved the movie forward. My guess was the stuff about the family was embellished. I learned so much from this movie however. Even a documentary can get it wrong.
Tom Hanks recently learned he is related to Mr. Fred Rogers.
I am very young so i had no idea who fred rogers was until i stumbled upon a let me explain video which was talking about a beautiful day in the neighborhood and then i researched fred rogers and realised he died. When i realised what a good person he was, i got upset. But regardless if i know him or not, Thank you, Mr Rogers.
I love love love Tom Hanks‼️ He is one of the best actors of all time.
You Americans have both Mr. Fred Rogers and Mr.Donald Trump . so , I think God is fair after all !
Yes Mr. Rogers was a great tv personality and Trump is a great President. Thank you for noticing
You can have Trump, he's the exact opposite of Mr Rogers. He's a crappy president suffering from Dementia.
I went to see "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood", starring Tom Hanks as Mister Rogers. As every movie about real people, I knew that certain liberties would be taken to make this different from the real people and events. I've never heard of Tom Junod before the movie. I've heard of "Esquire", I didn't know they had someone interview Mister Rogers.
That quip about vegetarianism.
The normal, believe it or not, US diet is vegetarian.
Would rogers be a vegan? Maybe, but he wouldn't be the vegan champion.
Cant wait to see this.
8:16 is lovely. Like how they show Tom putting up a tent, but the tv shows Mr. Rodgers.
Tom Junod kinda looks like Joaquin Phoenix!
funny he was vegeterian and died of stomach cancer
saw it today loved it!
also: Shoelaces were too long and fat on Mr's shoes. There also was no twinkle of piano keys when he tossed the shoe from one to the other. he missed the zipper cue, 'Beeeeeeuuuuutiful day'. Would have used another take , but that is just me being picky, as it was a great movie.
How many period pieces has Hanks been in where he gets super-imposed into old-ass footage?
"I gotta pee..."
Tom Hanks cannot die until he portrays everyone in every time period.
Anyone else see the connection with the children's show Daniel Tigers Neighbourhood
senna13777 My cousin watches that show
Wasn't this video posted a few days ago?
I can see why they changed names. One Hollywood. 2 protect them people is crazy.
There was something the movie got wrong. The scene with Daniel Tiger and Lady Aberlin. In the movie, they claim Daniel was sprayed by a skunk. That was not true. Audry the duck was sprayed by Mr. Skunk. Handyman Negri caught some of the overspray. So they both needed a bath.
If there is a way to bring someone back mr Rogers will be first
tom hanks singing as mister rogers is wrong
I'm not familiar with Mr Rogers since I didn't grew up in America. But I finally watched it after "putting it off" for a month. Best decision because the movie broke me. I couldn't stop crying.
In the movie, he sounds and acts like a creep. But when I see the real person on RUclips, he's not. Tom Hanks may be a great actor but I feel he failed this. All that puppet business, slow-acting, and his tone didn't do justice. Maybe he overdid or something. But that failed.
