Mr. Dressup – The Magic Of Make Believe

If you grew up watching Mr. Dressup like I did – you need to watch this.

Mr. Dressup – The Magic of Make Believe – out now on Prime Video.

What I learned –

Mr Rogers was responsible for the career of Ernie Coombs.  It was Fred Rogers offered a job in Toronto at CBC that led to the beginning of Mr. Dressup.

Ernie Coombs never started out wanting to be a childrens entertainer.

He made the famous tickle trunk.  Even fixing it as it showed some wear and tear over the years.

Ernie loved what he did and had a unique talent.   He suffered great loss in his life.

So much heart for what he did.  It brought back a lot of memories for me for sure and a deeper understanding of the man I knew as Mr. Dressup.

Worth watching.  But keep the Kleenex close.
