If you are like me you love watching Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood with your children because it reminds you of the show you grew up on, Mister Roger’s Neighborhood. It officially premiered in 1968, and children have been going on magical journeys with sweater-wearing Fred Rogers every since.

The timing of the film couldn’t be more perfect as the series celebrates it’s 50th anniversary this year.
