The trailer for A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood came out July 22, based on the real-life friendship of Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod, and it has everyone feeling all the feels. Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood was a fixture of American childhood for most. The show aired from 1968 to 2001, 31 seasons, covering topics from getting a haircut to race relations. The gentle loving way Mr. Rogers presented the world made even the most complex subject matter approachable. The casting of Tom Hanks as the beloved Presbyterian Minister turn television personality could not be more perfect. Originally tasked with profiling him, the journalist, renamed Lloyd Vogel (Matthew Rhys) in the film, is befriended by Mr. Rogers and we see the resulting impact. The theme song alone is enough to tug on your heartstrings but to see a subway car full of people sing it will have you crying. A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood arrives in theaters November 22, 2019. There’s no better way to spend the day after Thanksgiving.
