A touching Google Doodle video remembers Mister Rogers' Neighborhood
It’s hard to believe that 51 years ago Friday marked the start of Fred Rogers’ « beautiful days in the neighborhood. »
To celebrate the anniversary of the first episode of « Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, » Google Doodle on Friday released a touching animated video celebrating the iconic children’s program.
A Google Doodle is a special, temporary alteration of the logo on Google homepages that commemorates holidays, events, achievements, and people.
The video depicts Rogers riding a trolley, uplifting a sad boy by making him a paper crane, and of course, singing his famous song « Won’t you be my neighbor » to children all around town.
At the end of the video, as was usually the case during the show, it shows Rogers telling children that they made it a special day just by being themselves and that people can like them just as they are.
Check out the Google Doodle tribute to « Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood » below and grab some tissues just in case. You might need them.
