Saw the movie with both my parents and was filled with emotions and memories. Left the theater all choked up and went for a walk by the waterfront and talked about it, and we all agreed that Mr. Hanks understood the spirit of Mr. Rogers and how important the lessons were. We had a beautiful day.

The film was Phenomenal especially for those who grew up watching Mr Rogers. Tom Hanks deserves an Oscar, because he captured his essence perfectly.

He was “intentional”...... he knew exactly what he was doing and was incredibly loved - still is - by millions.❤️

He was a genuine HUMAN BEING....He is sorely missed....

It is a rare gift when you have an actor embody a part the way Tom Hanks does. When I watch Tom in a movie I believe in the part he plays. He expresses himself not only with the words in the screenplay, but he adds the gestures in a way that you believe. It's hard for me to express just how magical I feel Tom Hanks acts. He is truly a precious gift! I'm looking forward to seeing, "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood." I will be bringing a box of tissues. Peace & Blessings ~

What a wonderful interview!

Bless them both. And knowing that they're related makes a lot of sense. Both Tom Hanks and Mr. Rogers are such beautiful souls.

I watched him and I loved him. He was a gentle loving man and you could feel it by just watching the show. He’s missed and still very much loved♥️🙏🏻

Thank you Tom for bringing an icon to many of us back to the front. Thank you for doing your best at giving Mr.Rogers a movie moment that new generations will be able to latch onto and inspire them to finding and watching the original shows.

I know they didn't do a lot to alter Hanks' appearance, but I have seen several stills where I thought I was looking at Mr. Rogers and not Tom Hanks.

And that is the REAL Mr McFeely in the movie. I sat there in the audience wondering if I was the only one that knew that.

My wife worked at the Squirrel Hill public library (a branch in the Carnegie) in the children's department. It was the local library in the neighborhood of Shadyside, North Squirrel Hill, and Squirrel Hill. Mr Rogers show interacted with the library. Much of what Mr Rogers was doing with young children was also happening at the library. Showing respect to a 3 year old, asking their opinion, listening to their ideas.... when the rest of the world would just give them orders and tell them what to do. Outside of a child's parents, this was hard to find, and indeed, even including most parents, it was still hard to find. Child development happens best in an environment of love and security and attention. Tough things to bring to a television set. Only one man ever achieved that.

I know a family who was traveling through Pennsylvania when they were in a car accident two family members did not survive. Mr. Rodgers called one of the surviving little girls at the hospital during her recovery. This was very touching story.

Honestly at the part where they had the minute of silence, I honestly started to cry a little bit. So powerful. That was a true embodiment of what Mr. Rogers was. He was a massive part of my childhood, watching the reruns of his shows over and over again.

He kills every role. This one is no exception. The neh sayers don’t get it.

Fred Rogers was the embodiment of "Preach the Gospel always, and when necessary use words". His neighborhood was where you loved your neighbor as yourself, which is what should be the core essence of spiritual nature.

Tom hanks is for sure one of the most influential actor of all time. When I watch his movies I am literally motivated and inspired by his character.

"Fred made everybody feel worthwhile." ⭐️🙏🏽✝️

I grew up without a father. I identified very much with Daniel Striped tiger. I’m 53 yo now but I always saw Fred as my dad. He made me whole, feel loved, respected and taught me that I was always enough; That I wasn’t odd because all the other kids had two parents. I grew up feeling so secure in myself when society said that a dark skinned, black girl who was an only child from a single parent household in the housing projects of Chicago couldn’t make it in life. My beginning was a recipe for disaster. I went to head start, was a star student, got a pre-law undergraduate degree, interned at the Attorney General’s office, paid my way through grad school at a top 10 university and got my MBA in one year instead of 2 years at the age of 23. I became a successful Market researcher and make award winning films on the side when I’m not doing volunteer work for nonprofits. whenever times were tough growing up, when I didn’t have enough to eat in grad school in Pittsburgh, even though I worked 30 hours to put myself through school, whenever I wanted to give up on myself, I could hear Mr. Rogers’ voice telling me to just take my time, you’ll make it. I did. I am. Thank you Mr Rogers.😘💯🤘🏾

These movie was pure genuine and genius. Tom played Mister Rogers to perfection. This man brings out every character he plays in the most profound way. Amazing work. SIP Mr. Rogers.

Best interview ever.

I am such a Tom Hanks fan. I think he was the perfect choice to play Fred Rogers. I still havent seen the movie but i most certainly intend to. I grew up watching Mr. Rogers

❤️🥰🥰

Fascinating! ....... how acute .... penetrating deep .... serious actors are in their characterizations in so many varying capacities ..... and roles! .... I'm guessing the best actors have to have very keen psychological connections and perceptions ..... to incorporate the imitated persona ..... within ..... and be able to release enough energy in their acting .... to contain it ..... for long periods! ......

This would be a tough role to play. Hanks played an astronaut, but we only really knew Lovell from a few TV clips. Most of us never heard of Sully (by name anyway) until the movie came out. Real people, but not so well known. But Mr Rogers? He is a cultural icon. Lots of us grew up watching Mr Rogers. If this was done poorly, at all, people would crucify Hanks. Of course being Tom Hanks, he nailed it! How did he not win an Oscar for this role? 😎

Oh, Tom. There is motivation behind Darth Vader. You just have to look beyond the 70s and 80s. That said, give this man an Oscar for Mr. Rogers!!

I don’t believe in the negative rumors about Hanks, I’d be crushed if they were true...my teen daughter, on the other hand,would be devastated! She came to love him in “Forest Gump,” her favorite movie.

I met Tom in the 90's while he was filming "You Got Mail" He came into my uncle's shop and was like, 'Oh hey!' He was so warm and kind and very funny, a quick-witted guy for sure. I know that there were rumors that he's a sexual predator or assaulted girls. There was never a time in that interaction that I felt he would do something. I've been sexually assaulted as a kid and before the guy did anything, I felt an extreme sense of dread and fear because predators give off that sickening vibe. Never got that with Tom whatsoever.

I'm gonna say he was completely opposite. Walt Disney was racist, sexist, and an anti-semite. Frankly, I don't see Mr. Fred Rogers having such despicable characteristics.

Tom Hanks chose to play Mr. Rogers. Eddie Murphy's like "nah...give me Dolemite."

Mister Rogers ❤

"There is a force that a human being can use on another human being to make them feel safe". Tom Hanks is so poignant and I need to bathe.

I just don't appreciate how Tom Hanks describes Fred overall. His comments about the show or how he treated people not being a skill more like practice... I'm like "give the man some credit jeez!"

For an extrovert person like Tom Hanks do an introvert character like Fred Rogers is very hard. at the 8:18 mark when he say "slowing down" might be the most dificult thing to do for him.

Even if Gayle King knows Tom Hanks personally, it detracts from the report for her to address him as "Tom," as news is supposed to maintain objectivity and a bit of editorial distance, even if editorial distance does not actually exist.
