- "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,"

the feature film aboutthe life of Fred Rogers

is scoring rave reviews

at this week's Toronto Film Festival.

It stars Tom Hanks and itdoesn't hit American theaters

until November, but we'vegot an exclusive first look

to share of the film right now.

(gentle piano music)

- It's a decision wemake to release a person

from the feelings ofanger we have at them.

- Fred Rogers grew upoutside of Pittsburgh

and he dreamed of being a minister.

He went to seminary school,and he gave people liberty

to explore something deep andvulnerable about themselves.

- I asked him to pray for me.

I figured anyone who is going through

what he is going throughmust be awfully close to God.

- He had that amazing giftof looking at a person

and seeing what that person needed

that he was gonna minister to that person.

And that person in thisparticular case was me.

- We are trying to givethe world positive ways

to deal with their feelings.

- This piece will be foran issue about heroes.

Do you consider yourself a hero?

- This movie is sort of like

an episode of Mister Rogers' for adults.

- When I think of Fred,I often think of him

in terms of what he did every morning

which was pray and think of thepeople he needed to pray for

and write to those people.

Colby Dickerson.

Thank you, God.

(dramatic cinematic music)

- His spoken message is simple,

but the message of his life is not simple

because the message of hislife is goodness in action,

goodness enacted.

- [Fred] I think the best thing we can do

is to let people know thateach one of them is precious.
