Mister Rogers remixed by John D. Boswell for PBS Digital Studios.

(Headphones highly recommended!)

When we discovered video mash-up artist John D. Boswell, aka melodysheep, on YouTube, we immediately wanted to work together. Turns out that he is a huge Mister Rogers Neighborhood fan, and was thrilled at the chance to pay tribute to one of our heroes. Both PBS and the Fred Rogers Company hope you like John's celebration of Fred Rogers' message.

This is the first in a series of PBS icons remixed.

Many thanks to the folks at the Fred Rogers Company for their support.

Fred Rogers is proof that humanity can be much better than it currently is.

My aunt has three sons who were all really big fans of Mr. Rogers when they were younger. My aunt couldn't take them to see him because they are severely autistic. She wrote to him explaining her situation. When Mr. Rogers came to their area, he visited their house, and put on a show just for them. I used to have a picture of all of them together, hanging on the fridge. I was little at the time, and I thought it was so cool that my aunt had met him. He really was a great man.

I’m 25 years old. If they ever release every single episode of this show on disc or Netflix, I would binge-watch it unashamedly. I miss Mr. Rogers.

The scary thought that kids are growing up in a world without this man...

"Let's give the fish some food."
He would always announce this because a little blind girl sent him a letter asking him to, so she could know when he was doing it.

"I didn't order any whistles"
**plays whistle like a boss**

[pabloserranogarcia]

I want to imagine he’s still with us, in everyone’s mind garden

[Abelhawk]

I know a lot of people respect Mr. Rogers as a great human being, but if we really, _really_ took his words to heart, not just thought of them as touching and deep, I think that's what would really change the world. Really, truly treating everyone like your neighbor would fix so many problems.

He didn't order any whistle but still picked it up and killed it. #Legend

"Sometimes when we disagree, I feel frustrated. But I never forget how lucky I am to have you in my family. Always remember how special you are"
~Audio captured from 1981 of Fred Rogers having an argument with his wife on set.

Mr. Rogers projected an air of genuine, unwavering, almost saintly pure-hearted decency. But when you look deeper, at the person behind the image ... that's exactly what you find there, too. He's exactly what he appears to be.

Say whatever you want but this shit is knockin in 2019.
RIP Fred Rogers

This man turned downed multiple-millions of merchandizing dollars out of principle. PBS paid him enough and he wasn't going to take any more. The world is  a less decent place in your absence Fred.

Mr. Rogers 2K16. There would be no war, just a bunch of nations making macaroni art together.

[jameysummers]

This made me cry a little. Hard to admit for a grown man, but it did.

[HannabalMarie]

Not going to lie--I cried when I listened to this. No shame, none at all.
This man is what shaped me into the person I am today. I will always be his neighbor! :)

Mr. Rogers droppin' mix tapes before it was hot...

[jamesdavis]

I loved the simple but wise lines in this video:

• "It's good to be curious about many things."

• "Imagine every person you see is somewhat different from every other person in the world."

• "Did you ever think of the many things you’ve learned to do?"

• "There are so many things to learn about in this world -- and so many people who can help us learn."

[scottsommer]

The holy trinity.

Mister Rogers: Be kind to your neighebor
Steve Irwin: Be kind to animals
Bob Ross: Be kind to yourself.

[captscout]

I want to remind you all. Mr Rogers is proud of you and loves you just the way you are
