Mr. Rogers was someone who has managed to touch at least three generations with a simple message of respect, tolerance, and belief in oneself, decades before the Oprah crowd.
No matter whether he was praised or mocked, he stayed true to himself. This is my small tribute to him. Please watch until the end, for an important message from Mr. Rogers himself.

I am pleasantly surprised to see that my movie was awarded daily second place. I want to thank everyone in the Clock Crew for all the encouragement I've gotten over this past year. Without the encouragement and support from you guys, I don't know if I'd have had the courage to even try my hand at this. And a big thank you to Brittani, whose love and support have always carried me through even the darkest of times.
I also wish to thank everyone that has voted for this movie. I am honored that a tribute that was made with my heart could bring you reflection, joy, rememberance, and a heart-felt tear or two.
Fred Rogers, RIP 1928-2003
