Daniel Tiger


[A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (dir. Marielle Heller, 2019). Click for a larger view.]

It’s a beautiful movie. And that’s a replica, not the real Daniel Striped Tiger.

The Neighborhood Archive has the full story on Daniel. I’m happy to be reminded that our that dear friend Margie King Barab, who appeared in two early Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood episodes as Miss Margie Nebraska, has a page in the archive.

I finally watched the documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor" and liked it--Mr Rogers being so open and vulnerable giving testimony to Congress (and Congress being open in return!) is unforgettable!!! (and thanks for the rec)
. . . but on a personal level, I liked this filmed story version ("Beautiful Day") even more.
The two go together well.

They do. I just wish PBS would bring back the Neighborhood. Maybe as late-night viewing for grown-ups needing some reassurance.
