It was great. Mr. Rogers is one of if not the finest people to have lived this century, and that program showed a piece of why. We are all fortunate that he was picked up by television so we could all experiance how kind and caring he was. If there were many more like him the world would truly be a much better neighborhood.
The Tom Hanks movie was great, because it focused on RESULTS of Rogers Influence. But it had been fictionalized. Also, I did not find Tom Hanks very believable as Rogers. Still, the new film focus on Rogers ideals, and we can come to our own conclusions. www.SavingSchools.org My interest is EDUCATION and both films may help. H
@@frankdelgrosso8297 Absolutely. I'm a Humanist Atheist, and Mr. Rogers taught humanism and kindness without ever mentioning his religion. His life and work are testaments to how we can all learn to understand ourselves and empathize with each other, regardless of spiritual belief, and I'm pretty sure he helped show generations of us that we're capable of being better than we initially thought possible. He should be a saint to all of humanity, if you ask me.
I haven't seen it yet but want to..it looks like a great film,and I think Tom Hanks as Fred Rogers was brilliant casting..whoever made that decision should get a gold star 😁
I understand little kids similar to the way he did..I talk WITH children,not AT them like sadly so many adults do..someone once told me I was on the same "wavelength" as small children..I knew he meant it as an insult,but I took it as a compliment..being on their "wavelength" is just a part of who I am and I❤ who I am 😁😊☺
Mr Rodgers wasn't a genius,he was just a normal man who devoted his life to spreading love and kindness. The fact that he was a normal guy was what made him so great.
I must apologize because I am a suspicious person about people claiming to have saintly intentions and later find out they were deceitful. I have found out and now believe the Fred Rogers was the real deal who embodied the kind empathy of a superior soul. Young people knew this and became better people themselves because of his example. It is sad that we know this after he left us. I am sure he wishes everyone who followed him a special,blessing from above where he now resides.
@@lendrury2771 Queen is still going strong as Queen and Adam Lambert. They are thinking of signing Adam on permanently and making more original music in the tradition of Queen while performing the classics. Unfortunately, it seems nobody is continuing the tradition of Mr. Rogers at all. Daniel Tiger's Neighbourhood is a continuation of the show. But nobody has succeeded Mr. Rogers himself. Just as Adam Lambert does not replace Freddie Mercury but succeeds him, that is what is needed for Fred Rogers. Nobody can replace Mr. Fred Rogers. But perhaps someone may attempt to succeed him, even if not as good. Adam knows he can never replace Freddie. Why is it nobody at least tries to succeed Mr. Rogers. Is it time for me to air, "Mr. Cold's Neighbourhood?"
His whole being was to show the love of Christ to humanity and he did. He was a truly born again Christian and showed it. He gave Christianity a good name. Not like today where so many profess the love for Christ but hate demonically. That saddens me deeply. I wish Christians would live like Christ. Wouldn't it be a better USA?
@@rengalafuze8700 to be honest if self proclaimed Christian acts more like Mr Rogers i would been less wary of them. Alas so many of them are just people wanting to prove they are right, egoistic, hateful and act so differently from Jesus it is actually apalling.

Mr. Rogers was distracted and nearly stepped in front of a cab my husband was driving in Florida many years ago. My husband was on point and averted any harm. Rogers then stepped back up the curb and sheepishly waved at my husband. Then my husband recognized him and nearly went into shock. I told hubby that if he had harmed or worse Mr. Rogers that there would be a lynch mob of 5 year olds surrounding our house. God bless you, Fred McFeely Rogers. You made people believe that they were loved and cared for.💕💕💕💕
I think he'd be horrified and disappointed that many people allow the media to affect them in a bad way. When he spoke with Arsenio Hall, he mentioned the media showing bad things and never looking for the "helpers" as he called them,. The good people who love others. So you don't see conservative rallies that bring to the stage a person with black lives matter to allow them to speak offering their point of view. You don't see the kindness expressed to regardless of their differences in politics. All they show are is a nation divided by hatred. That having a different political view somehow means hate or racism. That people believing in due process even when it comes to rape is somehow hating women. We need a voice like Mr Rogers today. There's too many people allowing the media to tear this nation in half. We should be focusing on the helpers like he said.
@Maurice Milles Mansa no. He would be disappointed. Pgh ain't like the rest of the world. We aren't divided here. Not nearly as bad sd everywhere else. The world is screwed.
One of my favorite Fred Rogers anecdotes is how, since he and George Romero were friends and fellow Pittsburgh filmmakers, he attended the premier of Night of the Living Dead. When Romero asked him if he liked the film, he said, "It's a lot of fun, George!" I just love the idea that this gentle, ordained minister beloved by children was entertained by a violent horror flick. I can even picture him explaining it to a child: "well, sometimes grownups like to look at things you might find upsetting..." What a class act he was, we'll not see his like again.
I was raised by a man just like mr Rogers. I never had a question he wouldn’t answer. He never lost his temper and people for miles away would seek his advise. I followed his steps everywhere. Its been 25 years since he died and i still cry for him
Gosh darn it *wipes tears away* 23 years old and still getting teary eyed when ever I hear about our kindest man ever to live. He didn't wish to be treated like a saint and yet he continually is shown to have the most qualifications to be made one ever. Even as he grew old and his health deteriorated, his heart remained pure gold.
When Mister Rogers was on PBS, I was a self-involved high school teen. One afternoon, I turned in KHET and found Fred Rogers contending with a dead Guppy on the bottom of an aquarium. Rather than scoop it up roughly and toss it into the toilet and flush it away, he gently retrieved the fish and checked to see if it really was dead by putting it into a light salt water bath. Satisfied that it was "swiming in heaven," he took the defunct fish outside and gave it the kind of a burial reserved for a cherished pet, like a dog or cat. That is what made Mr. Rogers a "top of the world" TV host and a friend to children...of any age.
Otokichi786 I did this once with a baby bird. It was a mockingbird. It is a sin to kill them because all they do is produce music from themselves. Whistling with workers back then and such. I saw the baby, and I gave it a burial. I didn’t throw it away, I went a my small hill behind my house and dig up some dirt. I them put the bird in the dirt, and then covered it up gingerly. And then I let it fly. Fly to heaven.
@o o He was on PBS. He didn't get as much as you think. His whole thing was love and learn to be loved and talk to your kids like they are not idiots devoid of emotion. What is wrong about that?
There was a joke video one time that started like a scandalous gotcha talk show, See Fred Rogers' ugly feud with his wife! Then it showed a cartoon of Rogers very politely and kindly talking about how they disagree, but that doesn't mean they love each other any less. Was it on Family Guy, maybe? I forget.
I believe he tried to sue Ice Cube one time, for putting his theme song in the beginning of one of his songs, but the way I remember it Ice cube describes Fred Rogers as being this hood gangsta character, and I can totally see him disapproving that
For the kids dealing with dysfunctional home situations, Mr. Rogers was the stability we craved. He taught us right from wrong in a gentle, loving way, and made us feel safe and loved. I'd love to meet him in heaven someday, it wouldn't be complete without him. Wow, 3 sentences about him, used the word love 3 times, so telling!
That's so true in fact a lot of saints said that in their autobiographies or memoirs for some they didn't want to write but were told to by their superiors
Growing up in the heyday of Mr. Rogers neighborhood, I was a neighbor. With God’s blessing, and His will, I will see my neighbor again. This man’s love and gentleness is something we all could use more of nowadays.
Sometimes I think; quite often a lot about what Timmy McVeigh told the news reporters he said this, "if I'm going to Hell I'm going to have a lot of company."
What does Timmy McVeigh mean by that? He's trying to tell us that; "you must not highly think of yourself in Hell, there are other people/unsaved human soles there too!"
Any grief is a very real emotion. If you bury it down you can never heal. Being a man that knows when it is ok to cry... I think Mr. Rogers would have liked you! Won’t you be my neighbor?
@ William L. Don't feel guilty crying when he passed as I did the same and I was 19. I think the entire world cried that day as both young and old lost 1 of the greatest teachers in history. There will never be another Mr. Roger's as far as I'm concerned especially the way the world is now. As we really do need someone as special as him in this day and age.
I don't think people realized that Mr Rogers was actually a foster parent to every child that watched this show. He's still rewarding children posthumously. He just had that big of a heart and good spirit. Such a good man. RIP
But it does still end its sentence in a preposition. Proof that people must choose whether they want to learn, or simply take the most convenient path.
Mr. Rogers was a gift to everyone. I loved his show as a little boy in the late 60's. Hearing his kind, welcoming voice put me at ease, and made me happy, because I knew he really cared. To this day, when I see his face, or hear his voice, I smile. There is no one else I can think of that was kinder, gentler, or more compassionate than Fred Rogers. Thank You Mr. Rogers.
some were out when he was still alive that made me smile.... like the one (never proven or disproven) that his car was stolen and returned with an apology note after the thieves learned who the owner was
@@JahRootsRadio even mr. Rogers wasnt perfect. But he was loved by the gay man anyway and definitely showed that he cared for him. Not in that way, dirty.
@@JahRootsRadio because he was aware of the intolerance and hate. The greater good was keeping the show going. It's easy throw stones backwards, especially when the impact of any decision is not one you have to live with.
I watched Mr. Rogers as a kid in the 70's and 80's. He was always so kind and thoughtful, and always somehow made me feel safe and loved. He was such a beautiful soul, and I know he's at peace now, and that makes me happy.
He was the real deal. I'm sure many skeptics have tried to find a dark side to his personality, maybe some skeletons in his closet, but from what everyone who knows him has said, he was a truly good, kind individual.
The only person who can get me to stop and focus just by speaking. I can't help but revert back to that child sitting in front of the tv legs crossed intently hanging on every word. Instant calm comes over me. I was about to take some medication as he was talking about the last message and the moment "I know sometimes.." I froze and focused. It's a crazy feeling.
We were truly blessed and we truly didn’t understand how much,. He was such an amazing person, we should all strive to do half as much. His message was so simple. Be kind, be caring, be loving. 🙏❤️🌞
It must be such a comfort to Mrs. Roger's to see this movie bring such light to his legacy. May God Bless her and their family. What a remarkable man. I can't wait to see it and learn more about him, as I did today with this very sweet video. Bless his heart for visiting that scared little girl all those years ago.
I really hoping that his final speech was going to be left out, now I'm crying. It gets me every time😭😭 Mr. Rogers was like another grandfather to me. I really feel bad for kids these day because there hasn't been nothing like Mr. Rogers since he passed.
The truly horrible thing is that we don't know exactly what the man believed. He was a terribly kind man, but as a religious figure, as slippery as soap on the floor of your shower.
Fred Roger's was the real deal. I love this man. He made my childhood better. I treasure his show and even at 50, I still put on an episode just because it feels so calming and reassuring. He is everyone's father or grandfather. He was a real saint. I miss you Mr. Roger's.
We watched his message to his adult fans the night before our final presentation for our degrees or cert. in multi media design and production. Never seen a room fall to tears. Grown men and woman scared of their futures who finally found a friend that understood still and was never forgotten. He truly changed so many peoples lives.
I never watched Mr Rogers until I did so with my daughter. As an adult, I found his words, songs, and stories healing. He also gave me some deep insights and great advice about being a mother.
He was just a person filled with love and kindness. The way he was able to display these qualifies everyday inspired not only the children of the world but the parents. He played a major roll in good parenting. A very kind open minded human being. Thank you MR. Rogers for helping me raise good people.
He still brings a smile to my face or a tear to my eye almost 40 years later. And thats not easy to do with me. He was an amazing man. And he will truly live on forever.
@@riverstone9005 I was really just pulling His leg .... I figure He meant when the guy was still alive and on top of His game .... I've been posting dumb stuff all morning .... One of those moods .... Enjoy the Day .....
Mr. Rogers ate clouds. He walked in the grass barefoot. He rolled on the ground and sang loudly. Mr. Rogers didn’t invent love, but he almost did. He didn’t talk to the animals, but they talked to him. Mr. Rogers fed people meals of fluffy invisible food. Mr. Rogers couldn’t fly, but if anybody should of had that ability, it would be him.
Exactly Don. Your comment seems smartass on the surface, but actually is right on. Mr. Roger's was all about human potential. What we could aspire to be just by being a bit......more.
I watched this show as a kid and I knew this man was the real deal on how he acted on the show to how he acted in real life. Thanks mr. Rodger's for being a great person and role model to me and millions of kids and adults. You are what we need more of in this world right now.
Thanks for telling us what is interesting voice of mr. Rogers life I'm sure though I felt too old to watch his program at the time. I appreciate you mentioning the human beautiful nature of Mister Rogers
This was a very sweet tribute. I don't know if there is one already, but I think a lot of people would enjoy seeing a long version of this on TV. Right now we all need to know that some people are who they seem to be and even better. He was one of those people. God bless him and his widow.
This is so wonderful. Mr. Rogers was a staple in the lives of many of my generation, and my daughters. I did not watch as a child, but would watch with her as she was growing up. It's truly heartwarming and a relief to know that one of our childhood icons was just the way we saw him on TV, no posthumous scandals. Thank you, Fred Rogers!
Both "Won't You Be My Neighbor" and "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" required a great deal of tissues for me to get through. They were both amazing cinematic tributes to one of the most important people in American society. Mr. Rogers' message of kindness and understanding helped me deal with the pain of a lifetime of bullying from my schoolmates and beratement from my parents. Mr. Rogers is a wonderful man who was almost too good for this world. I watched his show well into my preteen years, and at this point America should be watching Mr. Rogers instead of mean "talent" or competition shows, or other prison, crime or violence shows. All that TV teaches people to be terrible to one another. Mr. Rogers was teaching us to be kind. Park & Recreation was one of the few TV shows that had a similar message about making our world better through being better people. Thank you Fred Rogers, for dedicating your life to improving our world.
The world is a better place for having had Fred Rogers in it. Of this I have absolutely no doubt. Part of who I was as a boy was because of Fred Rogers. And without question, part of who I am as a man, as a husband, and as a father, is because of Fred Rogers. Thank you. and you are missed, Mister Rogers.
I still love the memory of watching this show with my little brother. He had aspberger syndrome and this show helped him so much. I know he & my brother are happily in heaven but Mr. Rogers gave such a good sturdy routine basis for children that he should never be forgotten. God Bless him & his originality.
Mr Rodgers was a true man in every sense of the word. I grew up in an abusive home I had to raise myself in many ways. Mr Rodgers always made me feel I had value. When my friend Mr Rodgers went to be with our Lord Jesus it was earth's lost and truly heavens gain .I love you and miss you my friend my neighborhood isn't the same without you
@@normacook8325 God bless you as well.I was able to rise above my childhood. It made me who I am today and I am proud of me .I have been married for 34 years to the love of my life.

@@rogerthat9174 Thanks Roger and your Absolutely right. I spent alot of nights hiding under my bed or the closest and I remember thinking that I didn't know how to be when I grew up but I knew not to grow up the way I did......The abuse stopped with me.Thank you for your kind words support may God shower his many blessings down on you like rain my brother.
I remember watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on tv when I was 3. My mom said I would cry when she tried to change the channel. His voice alone was hypnotizing. May THE ALMIGHTY bless his soul.
I was older when the show came on t.v, and I am 80 now, but i remember Fred.This is a good video about him. Thank you who ever put this on about him. I was not a fan, but i thought he worked hard to do what he thought was right for that time in his life. 80 year old man, joe
Homophobia is an irrational fear of gay people, which makes no sense for any argument it’s contemporarily used for. What does makes sense is people using it as a condescending slur against heterosexual people who they disagree with.
This man enlightened my mind and spirit as a child, growing up. Fred Rogers is the Grandfather, Father, Uncle, & Son that everyone should've had... We miss you dearly. ♥️♥️😭
Mr. Rogers made my horrible, very heartbreaking childhood bearable! I still love him to this day! And, I am 47! Mr. Rogers won't you be my neighbor? All my love, Grace
I remember watching him as a 5 year old in the early 90s, I grew up well and balanced. We need this today as things are going off the rails with broken homes.
"I like you just the way you are" sweet and just feels right. Mr. Rogers is the best teacher. I learned alot from him as a child. Important life lessons to teach my kids and they will teach theirs.
Did you see A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood? What did you think?

He was an extraordinary genius, but he was also a normal man.
He had a very high EQ.
He had a degree in music and also was an ordained Presbyterian Minister. The show was his pulpit for kids? Yes but also their parents.
THAT was well said.
He was a genius of simplicity, empathy, patience, articulation, mannerism, persistence, and so much more. Not even saints reach his level.
Rogers is one of the most wholesome genuine people to have ever walked this earth. We are lucky to have had him.

And then I let it fly. Fly to heaven.
Me before watching this video: Oh God...please don’t let there be any weirdness with Mr. Rogers.
Me after watching the video: Thank God.
Same, I thought "please just let it be drug abuse, no cosby shit". Then you find out he's a saint who asked not to be a saint.
Same
Charles Wagner lol was honking the same
Right!? So many freaks out there.
Charles Wagner I thought the same thing
He was one of a kind. Our world needs more like him desperately! We miss you !!!
What keeps you beeing like him?
Such humanity in a man that didn't want to be better than anyone
Yeah sounds like he was a big deal to many people GFYS
o o dude, you just have a perverted mind
@o o He was on PBS. He didn't get as much as you think. His whole thing was love and learn to be loved and talk to your kids like they are not idiots devoid of emotion. What is wrong about that?
@o o You're dense and obsessed
I wish I got to meet someone like him...
Fred Rogers personified the concept that love heals.
It's a good concept it's a concept to love and believe in
There was literally nothing bad to expose him on. He was truly a great human.
There was a joke video one time that started like a scandalous gotcha talk show, See Fred Rogers' ugly feud with his wife! Then it showed a cartoon of Rogers very politely and kindly talking about how they disagree, but that doesn't mean they love each other any less.
Was it on Family Guy, maybe? I forget.
I believe he tried to sue Ice Cube one time, for putting his theme song in the beginning of one of his songs, but the way I remember it Ice cube describes Fred Rogers as being this hood gangsta character, and I can totally see him disapproving that
Well, he is a known devout cultist, so there's that. Still a good guy overall, though.
@@Pun116 Devout cultist?
For the kids dealing with dysfunctional home situations, Mr. Rogers was the stability we craved. He taught us right from wrong in a gentle, loving way, and made us feel safe and loved. I'd love to meet him in heaven someday, it wouldn't be complete without him.
Wow, 3 sentences about him, used the word love 3 times, so telling!
I had the honor of meeting this man. He was gentle, and kind and everything a child needed to feel special and safe.
He represented true strength. A real man.
Fred Rogers is a perfect example of the fact that no one, regardless of their saintly persona, is perfect.
But we can grow and change, if we want to.
What a beautiful and profound message.
That's so true in fact a lot of saints said that in their autobiographies or memoirs for some they didn't want to write but were told to by their superiors
Growing up in the heyday of Mr. Rogers neighborhood, I was a neighbor. With God’s blessing, and His will, I will see my neighbor again. This man’s love and gentleness is something we all could use more of nowadays.
Sometimes I think; quite often a lot about what Timmy McVeigh told the news reporters he said this, "if I'm going to Hell I'm going to have a lot of company."
What does Timmy McVeigh mean by that? He's trying to tell us that; "you must not highly think of yourself in Hell, there are other people/unsaved human soles there too!"
Timmy McVeigh was one of David Koresh's followers, back then in Waco TX 1993.
What you don't understand is that; David Koresh used Timmy McVeigh, to do whatsoever is evil.
The Christian teacher Perry Stone was right on you know; when he said, "pornography is evil."
I love this man.... and all he stands for... looking at these comments it’s clear I’m not alone in my sentiments... Love you all 💜💜💜
I cried when he passed....mind you I was already a male adult at that point
And Mr. Rogers would have encouraged you to cry and experience that emotion, because it's important to feel sad, no matter who you are.
Both men and adults are allowed to cry.
Any grief is a very real emotion. If you bury it down you can never heal. Being a man that knows when it is ok to cry... I think Mr. Rogers would have liked you! Won’t you be my neighbor?
@@Starlitwarrior I'd be honored to call you, and everyone in this thread, my neighbor! :-)
@ William L. Don't feel guilty crying when he passed as I did the same and I was 19. I think the entire world cried that day as both young and old lost 1 of the greatest teachers in history. There will never be another Mr. Roger's as far as I'm concerned especially the way the world is now. As we really do need someone as special as him in this day and age.
That's a beautiful story about Fred Rogers visiting the sick girl. This man gets my respect.
I don't think people realized that Mr Rogers was actually a foster parent to every child that watched this show. He's still rewarding children posthumously. He just had that big of a heart and good spirit. Such a good man. RIP
He was a foster parent to me. He made me feel that it was "ok" to be Asian in a Latino neighborhood. The dude taught me English too.
Ever since he died the world doesn't smile as much anymore
The World is more wicked lawless and evil under Satan's control, but his time is short.
@@christopherarnett2851 No it isn't....... sheesh...
Agree
The Unknown Someone that is on us now as good neighbors
But it does still end its sentence in a preposition. Proof that people must choose whether they want to learn, or simply take the most convenient path.
Such a wonderful man who loved God with all his heart and put that love into action.
Mr. Rogers was a gift to everyone. I loved his show as a little boy in the late 60's. Hearing his kind, welcoming voice put me at ease, and made me happy, because I knew he really cared. To this day, when I see his face, or hear his voice, I smile. There is no one else I can think of that was kinder, gentler, or more compassionate than Fred Rogers. Thank You Mr. Rogers.
These are the kind of people we should be focusing on, nothing but good stuff
Mr Roger's was the best influence on my life and it still hurts seeing him gone
Bob Ross and Mister Rogers are the model humans
Scott Taylor You’re a very beautiful man.
This comment is pure gold, thank you
How about Keanu Reeves and Steve Irwin?
And Andrew Dice Clay?
Roy Rogers
Missing Mr Rogers... we need more people like him. Prayers for a safer world.
"Prayers" don't do jack for anyone! It makes the one "praying" feels like he/she is doing something good. *thy god is imaginary*
@@rodprops I feel sorry for you
NO! I feel sorry for you! 😈😕
@@rodprops be nice
Do tell that to "her" ⬆⬆
He’s the first celebrity I can think of when stories came out about him after his passing, that he was an even better person than I knew.
some were out when he was still alive that made me smile.... like the one (never proven or disproven) that his car was stolen and returned with an apology note after the thieves learned who the owner was
he was truly an angel here on earth, and greatly missed
As an atheist, I often think of him as my "higher power."
Rogers wasnt homophobic. He was concerned about what homophobes could do to his show.
Michael Riemiek- Hunt which makes me to wonder did he compromise in this area and allowed fear to intimidate him?
@@JahRootsRadio even mr. Rogers wasnt perfect. But he was loved by the gay man anyway and definitely showed that he cared for him. Not in that way, dirty.
@@JahRootsRadio because he was aware of the intolerance and hate. The greater good was keeping the show going. It's easy throw stones backwards, especially when the impact of any decision is not one you have to live with.
Darren Payne I can respect that perspective
Michael Riemiek- Hunt I feel you.
I grew up on Mr. Rogers ; his words and kindness made so many lives a little more bearable each day..
I was so relieved to find out he was just as good as I imagined him to be; maybe better. 💕
I watched Mr. Rogers as a kid in the 70's and 80's. He was always so kind and thoughtful, and always somehow made me feel safe and loved. He was such a beautiful soul, and I know he's at peace now, and that makes me happy.
Same here.
We don't have people around like that anymore, we always come to find out something disturbing and corrupt about them. What a loss.
What about when it's bullshit, like with Jim Cummings?
I so agree, he was a wonderful human.
He was a free mason.
Ellen
He was the real deal. I'm sure many skeptics have tried to find a dark side to his personality, maybe some skeletons in his closet, but from what everyone who knows him has said, he was a truly good, kind individual.
Fred Rogers blessed us while he was here..actually God blessed us with Fred .
I watched Mr. Rogers with my daughter. I always felt that we both learned from it.
Mister Rogers was my childhood hero. I wish that today's children could have a Mister Rogers.
You can still get it on DVD. Give it to any of the children in your life, and let his legacy live on!
I watched him as a child, and remember the comforting feel of his routine:) I had a bit of a chaotic family at times and he was so calming...
The only person who can get me to stop and focus just by speaking. I can't help but revert back to that child sitting in front of the tv legs crossed intently hanging on every word. Instant calm comes over me. I was about to take some medication as he was talking about the last message and the moment "I know sometimes.." I froze and focused. It's a crazy feeling.
Because its witchcraft
@o o dafaq?
Im from the UK but even we recognise how special and beloved this man was. Thank you Mr Rodgers, R.I.P sir xxx
He was possibly the greatest humanitarian in the world ever
We were truly blessed and we truly didn’t understand how much,. He was such an amazing person, we should all strive to do half as much. His message was so simple. Be kind, be caring, be loving. 🙏❤️🌞
It must be such a comfort to Mrs. Roger's to see this movie bring such light to his legacy. May God Bless her and their family. What a remarkable man. I can't wait to see it and learn more about him, as I did today with this very sweet video. Bless his heart for visiting that scared little girl all those years ago.
I really hoping that his final speech was going to be left out, now I'm crying. It gets me every time😭😭 Mr. Rogers was like another grandfather to me. I really feel bad for kids these day because there hasn't been nothing like Mr. Rogers since he passed.
Please unsubscribe me. Merle
I’m British and found out about me Rogers a few years ago and he is one of the nicest men I have ever heard of
if only all religious types were like Mr. Rogers........humble, thoughtful, without judgement or ego
The truly horrible thing is that we don't know exactly what the man believed. He was a terribly kind man, but as a religious figure, as slippery as soap on the floor of your shower.
We each must strive to be kind!
Even being an Ordained minister he taught faith, love, humility, and spirituality. Never once heard him talk RELIGION.
@Dan Rush nice try, troll.....noones gonna fall for that here..mute!
Using idols and supporting sodomy-great example of an ordained minister. Where is your discernment? Do you trip over your own feet often?

Fred Roger's was the real deal. I love this man. He made my childhood better. I treasure his show and even at 50, I still put on an episode just because it feels so calming and reassuring. He is everyone's father or grandfather. He was a real saint. I miss you Mr. Roger's.
I’m not crying! You’re crying!
Beat me to it!
Me too
We watched his message to his adult fans the night before our final presentation for our degrees or cert. in multi media design and production. Never seen a room fall to tears. Grown men and woman scared of their futures who finally found a friend that understood still and was never forgotten. He truly changed so many peoples lives.
You're right. I am crying.
Katie Johnson wow. I never seen that msg till now. 😭
I never watched Mr Rogers until I did so with my daughter. As an adult, I found his words, songs, and stories healing. He also gave me some deep insights and great advice about being a mother.
Watching this was so uplifting. It's great that a man like this was disovered and given a show that undoubtedly touched so many lives.
He was just a person filled with love and kindness. The way he was able to display these qualifies everyday inspired not only the children of the world but the parents. He played a major roll in good parenting. A very kind open minded human being. Thank you MR. Rogers for helping me raise good people.
Mister Rogers sounds like a decent human being.
More than decent.
The man was a saint, and I’m an atheist.
Probably the best compliment you can give someone these days.
@CrowdFourteen
Guys...we didn't have Mr Rodgers here
in Australia so please understand eh?
We need more people like him nowadays
Such a great human being. Watching this reminds me when I was a child. Just had a caring way about him and was not staged. RIP
He still brings a smile to my face or a tear to my eye almost 40 years later. And thats not easy to do with me. He was an amazing man. And he will truly live on forever.
Fred was a favorite person to watch on television+ l still watch today. When younger I even played my own Fred Rogers neighborhood myself
Such a Pure human. We need him now more than ever❤
He was such a kind and caring person. I love Mister Rogers
if the world ever met aliens Mr. Rogers would be our representative.
He is dead ....
Your joke is sick ....
I don't think he meant to be disrespectful. I think he meant Mr. Rogers was such an amazing human being he would have been the perfect representative.
@@riverstone9005 I was really just pulling His leg .... I figure He meant when the guy was still alive and on top of His game .... I've been posting dumb stuff all morning .... One of those moods .... Enjoy the Day .....
It'd have to be tom hanks now, which is just as good
Aliens would vaporize him with out giving it a second thought.
Mr. Rogers ate clouds. He walked in the grass barefoot. He rolled on the ground and sang loudly.
Mr. Rogers didn’t invent love, but he almost did. He didn’t talk to the animals, but they talked to him.
Mr. Rogers fed people meals of fluffy invisible food. Mr. Rogers couldn’t fly, but if anybody should of had that ability, it would be him.
you mean should have?
very well put Don Diego ! Very well put ( KOODOS TO YOU )
Exactly Don. Your comment seems smartass on the surface, but actually is right on. Mr. Roger's was all about human potential. What we could aspire to be just by being a bit......more.
Wow, Don!
Hero worship much?
(...What the fuck is this guy saying?)
What an amazing, wonderful man. I love hearing him speak. We need more people like him. I wish I could’ve met him.
I loved Mr. Rogers!! We could all take some lessons from him! We need more Mr. Rogers in the world.❤️🙂
I watched this show as a kid and I knew this man was the real deal on how he acted on the show to how he acted in real life. Thanks mr. Rodger's for being a great person and role model to me and millions of kids and adults. You are what we need more of in this world right now.
Thanks for telling us what is interesting voice of mr. Rogers life I'm sure though I felt too old to watch his program at the time. I appreciate you mentioning the human beautiful nature of Mister Rogers
This was a very sweet tribute. I don't know if there is one already, but I think a lot of people would enjoy seeing a long version of this on TV. Right now we all need to know that some people are who they seem to be and even better. He was one of those people. God bless him and his widow.
This is so wonderful. Mr. Rogers was a staple in the lives of many of my generation, and my daughters. I did not watch as a child, but would watch with her as she was growing up. It's truly heartwarming and a relief to know that one of our childhood icons was just the way we saw him on TV, no posthumous scandals. Thank you, Fred Rogers!
What a very special soul he was,the world needs more people like him....
He will definitely be remembered i used to LOVE watching his shows growing up early 90s era will def miss him
Both "Won't You Be My Neighbor" and "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" required a great deal of tissues for me to get through. They were both amazing cinematic tributes to one of the most important people in American society. Mr. Rogers' message of kindness and understanding helped me deal with the pain of a lifetime of bullying from my schoolmates and beratement from my parents. Mr. Rogers is a wonderful man who was almost too good for this world. I watched his show well into my preteen years, and at this point America should be watching Mr. Rogers instead of mean "talent" or competition shows, or other prison, crime or violence shows. All that TV teaches people to be terrible to one another. Mr. Rogers was teaching us to be kind. Park & Recreation was one of the few TV shows that had a similar message about making our world better through being better people. Thank you Fred Rogers, for dedicating your life to improving our world.
For him to grow and change as an individual and value people for who they are.
The world is a better place for having had Fred Rogers in it. Of this I have absolutely no doubt. Part of who I was as a boy was because of Fred Rogers. And without question, part of who I am as a man, as a husband, and as a father, is because of Fred Rogers. Thank you. and you are missed, Mister Rogers.
What an amazing and beautiful man he was how blessed we were to have had him in our lives rest in peace Uncle Fred
He is now in the greatest neighborhood and an awesome neighbor in heaven 🔥❤️🕊😇🙏
The son of man does not forget the good deeds one does during his life and will be resurected .
I loved watching him when I was a kid.he just had a way to relate to people such a beautiful human
Fred Rogers was a hero and a champion of children. His life will be celebrated for years to come.
I still love the memory of watching this show with my little brother. He had aspberger syndrome and this show helped him so much. I know he & my brother are happily in heaven but Mr. Rogers gave such a good sturdy routine basis for children that he should never be forgotten. God Bless him & his originality.
Mr Rodgers was a true man in every sense of the word. I grew up in an abusive home I had to raise myself in many ways. Mr Rodgers always made me feel I had value. When my friend Mr Rodgers went to be with our Lord Jesus it was earth's lost and truly heavens gain .I love you and miss you my friend my neighborhood isn't the same without you
God Bless you Mitchell. Parent yourself gently, always give yourself the grace you would extend to others.
@@normacook8325 God bless you as well.I was able to rise above my childhood. It made me who I am today and I am proud of me .I have been married for 34 years to the love of my life. I raised two wonderful young men I am not perfect by no means I just never aloud myself to be a victim our lord through Mr Rodgers graced my past . And still continues to on a daily basis. Much love and many blessings to you Mrs Norma Cook
That makes my heart so happy! Congratulations on living an honorable life! You have sowed many seeds in your life.
Mitchell Marcus I also grew up with abusive parents. Contrary to belief it makes us a better person with or without Mr Rodgers. Stay strong you truly are not alone.
@@rogerthat9174 Thanks Roger and your Absolutely right. I spent alot of nights hiding under my bed or the closest and I remember thinking that I didn't know how to be when I grew up but I knew not to grow up the way I did......The abuse stopped with me.Thank you for your kind words support may God shower his many blessings down on you like rain my brother.
I remember watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on tv when I was 3. My mom said I would cry when she tried to change the channel. His voice alone was hypnotizing. May THE ALMIGHTY bless his soul.
I was older when the show came on t.v, and I am 80 now, but i remember Fred.This is a good video about him. Thank you who ever put this on about him. I was not a fan, but i thought he worked hard to do what he thought was right for that time in his life. 80 year old man, joe
So rare that a person doesn't have a scandal or dirt attached to them, it's almost become "cool", what a human being.
Grunge:
‘The TRUTH about Mr. Rogers:
He’s great!’
I miss him so much it would break his heart to know what's going on nowadays
For anyone who thinks Mr. Rogers is homophobic you have to understand the times.
homophobic is a word that is used today that wasn't even heard back then, it is understood differently in different time's
He was possibly bisexual. Possibly. Not confirmed.
Homophobia is an irrational fear of gay people, which makes no sense for any argument it’s contemporarily used for. What does makes sense is people using it as a condescending slur against heterosexual people who they disagree with.
he was bisexual.
I always thought he was gay
Amazing to hear about a truly great human being, with no dark secrets.
I always loved this man he teaches kindness
This man enlightened my mind and spirit as a child, growing up. Fred Rogers is the Grandfather, Father, Uncle, & Son that everyone should've had... We miss you dearly. ♥️♥️😭
Mr. Rogers made my horrible, very heartbreaking childhood bearable! I still love him to this day! And, I am 47! Mr. Rogers won't you be my neighbor? All my love, Grace
I remember watching him as a 5 year old in the early 90s, I grew up well and balanced. We need this today as things are going off the rails with broken homes.
Fred Rogers was an incredible man he is sorely missed by so many people!
"I like you just the way you are" sweet and just feels right. Mr. Rogers is the best teacher. I learned alot from him as a child. Important life lessons to teach my kids and they will teach theirs.
