I saw this at the Calgary International Film Festival and it touched me in a way I never expected. The full force of the impact Mr. Dressup had on me and millions of others hit me hard in the feels. Seeing his friendly face on the big screen after 30 years took me right back to my childhood and made me realize he's kind of a hero to me. This is a documentary that should've been made years ago, but it's never too late. The director handled the subject matter with the same warmth and love that Ernie "Mr Dressup" Coombs himself lived his life.

There wasn't a dry eye in the theater. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this walk through memory lane about one of my childhood heroes at a recent screening at TIFF. It was fun learning about Mr. Dress-Up's (Ernie Coombs) early career and his friendship with Fred Rogers and all of the behind the scenes info. While it didn't tug at my heartstrings as it did others ( I am a bit of a heart nut to crack), his story will likely touch all of those in Canada that loved him so dearly. We lost a Canadian legend far too soon!

If you didn't get to see it on the big screen as I did, I would recommend that you check it out when it comes to Amazon Prime on October 10th.
