Put on your comfiest cardigan and spend some quality time with Academy Award* winner Tom Hanks when he takes on the role of childhood icon and broadcast legend Fred Rogers in A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood , coming to digital, Blu-ray™ and DVD this Summer  from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Tom Hanks (Cast Away) portrays Mister Rogers in a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. After a jaded magazine writer, portrayed by Matthew Rhys (TV’s “The Americans”), is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his skepticism, learning about kindness, love and forgiveness from America’s most beloved neighbour.

With the lockdown and isolation this film is a perfect way to forget these strange times. If you truly want to know more about him, watch the Netflix documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbour.
