00:00Help all kids learn and grow with PBS Kids.
00:03Thank you for supporting your PBS station.
00:30Listen to the beat, listen to the rhythm, the rhythm of the street.
00:33Open up your eyes, open up your ears, get together and make things better by working together.
00:39It's a simple message and it comes from the heart.
00:44Oh, believe in yourself, for that's the place to start.
00:49Start and I say, hey, what a wonderful kind of day.
00:54Learn to work and play and get along with PBS.
00:58Hey, what a wonderful kind of day.
01:01Hey, what a wonderful kind of day.
01:04Hey!
01:05Hey, T.W.
01:08Hey!
01:09Whoa!
01:15Hey, everyone.
01:16I have great news.
01:19Two things.
01:20One, one, two, one, two.
01:22Mr. Rogers is coming to our school tomorrow.
01:26Wow, really?
01:27Mr. Rogers?
01:29That's...
01:30Um...
01:31What's the matter?
01:32Mr. Rogers?
01:34Do they think we're babies or something?
01:36Oh, I adore Mr. Rogers.
01:39It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
01:43What's the second thing, Arthur?
01:45Um, nothing.
01:47Never mind.
01:47You look a little sad, Arthur.
01:53He always looks like that, even when you're staying with us, Mr. Rogers.
01:57Maybe we could sing a song and cheer him up.
01:59Uh, uh, uh, no.
02:00No, no, no, no.
02:01It's all right.
02:04Arthur meets Mr. Rogers.
02:06Come back!
02:07Arthur, maybe you think you're too old for Mr. Rogers now, but remember how much you enjoyed him when you were D.W.'s age?
02:18So let's be careful not to spoil it for her.
02:21But, so you mean, my mom lived in your neighborhood when she was a kid, Mr. Rogers?
02:26That's right, D.W.
02:27I knew her when she was just about your age.
02:31Wow!
02:32That must have been a long time ago.
02:35Will you be living with us forever?
02:37Oh, no.
02:38I have a family who wants me back home.
02:41When do you have to go?
02:43Tomorrow.
02:44After I visit Arthur's school.
02:48What's the point of having Mr. Rogers stay at your house if...
02:51Shh!
02:52If you don't tell anybody.
02:54Because we don't want everyone coming over here, banging on the door, and asking for lots of autographs.
03:00You're doing that thing with your glasses that you do when you fib.
03:04What thing with my...
03:05Arthur?
03:06Yeah?
03:06B.W.?
03:07Could you tell me where the nearest mailbox is?
03:10I have some postcards I want to send to my friends.
03:16It's a beautiful day here at Arthur's house.
03:19A neighborly stay here at Arthur's.
03:21Would you be mine?
03:22Could you be mine?
03:25I...
03:25It's very easy, Mr. Rogers.
03:31No, no.
03:32It's not.
03:33It's hard.
03:34Uh, complicated.
03:35I'll do it.
03:36Oh, thanks, Arthur.
03:37But I can mail them.
03:38No, here.
03:39I've got them.
03:39You stay here, Mr. Rogers.
03:41I'll do it.
03:42Just stay here.
03:47He's like this all the time.
03:49You'll get used to it.
03:54Whoa!
03:56Arthur!
03:57What are you...
03:57Sorry, sorry.
03:59Just, uh, mailing a few postcards.
04:02Wait a minute.
04:04This can't be your postcard.
04:05It's signed Fred.
04:06Oh, that's because I'm, uh, thinking of changing my name.
04:09That's right.
04:10And I'm sending out these postcards to try out new names.
04:13Fred is just one.
04:14Do you like it?
04:15How about Casper?
04:16That's another one.
04:17Junius?
04:18What am I doing?
04:30Yay!
04:31Wow, that was great.
04:34Arthur plays the piano, too.
04:35Show Mr. Rogers, Arthur.
04:37Uh, well...
04:39Maybe Arthur doesn't feel like doing it right now.
04:42Yeah, maybe later.
04:43Maybe you could take me on that walk around your neighborhood now, D.W.
04:47Wait, I feel like playing.
04:50I feel like playing piano.
04:55Very good, Arthur.
04:57Um, let me see.
04:59Did I play the happy boat?
05:01Four times.
05:03You could be a fine musician someday, Arthur.
05:05Come on, Mr. Rogers.
05:07I'll show you around my neighborhood.
05:09Wait, I didn't play you my scales.
05:11Arthur, Mr. Rogers is going to die of boredom.
05:15I promised D.W. I'd let her take me around before it got too late.
05:19Maybe you'd like to come for a walk with us.
05:25You can't go.
05:27What?
05:28I mean, what if a...
05:30What if somebody recognizes you from the TV?
05:32They'll want autographs and...
05:34A disguise.
05:35That's it.
05:36I'll go get you a disguise.
05:37I don't think I need a disguise.
05:39But I get the idea you're not feeling very good about something.
05:44Me?
05:45Hey, wait.
05:48I have a better idea.
05:50That certainly is a very impressive statue.
05:53He looks like he's about to say something very important.
05:57Arthur, this beard itches.
06:01Why do I have to wear it?
06:03It's so nobody will see.
06:05So Mr. Rogers can, uh...
06:07So...
06:08You're touching your glasses again.
06:10Oh!
06:12Look, Mom.
06:13It's Mr. Rogers.
06:15And he's with two of the seven dwarves.
06:17I'm going to go see them.
06:20Come on.
06:21I want to show you something, Mr. Rogers.
06:22This way.
06:23Wait for...
06:24Me?
06:26It's right over.
06:27Ah!
06:29This way, Mr. Rogers.
06:35Garbage?
06:36You wanted to show Mr. Rogers people's garbage?
06:40No.
06:40Uh...
06:41Mr. Rogers?
06:42Is that really you?
06:44It certainly is.
06:46What's your name?
06:47I forget.
06:49Oh, brother.
06:50How do you know Dopey and Sneezy?
06:57Look, Mr. Rogers.
06:59They're joke shop.
07:00And over there is where Grandma Thora parks her car when she goes to Bingo.
07:04I know you can't keep a secret, but you can't tell anybody about Mr. Rogers staying at our house.
07:09I never tell secrets.
07:11Hey, there's Prunella in the brain.
07:14Where are you going?
07:14I want to tell everybody about Mr. Oh.
07:18Hey, you're right about me.
07:19I cannot keep a secret.
07:21Arthur looks quite distinguished with facial hair.
07:24He's been acting weird like that all day.
07:26He wanted me to call him Fred.
07:28Plainly, Arthur's suffering from a form of psychological stress brought on by too much homework.
07:34The same thing even happens to me sometimes.
07:36No, no.
07:37That's not it.
07:39What is it, Rubella?
07:40Do you see something?
07:41It's just as I feared.
07:44Zombies.
07:45Zombies are here in Elwood City.
07:47Oh, no.
07:48I don't think...
07:48Hush.
07:49Hush, brain.
07:51Your friend Arthur is under a hypnotic spell.
07:54It's up to us to break the trance before he turns us all into zombie slaves.
08:04It all looks so good, David.
08:06Would you like a roll buster?
08:08Mr. Rogers, does King Friday ever get in the trolley and come out to see you?
08:13Oh, brother.
08:15King Friday usually stays in make-believe, Buster.
08:18Except when he flies in the purple jet.
08:21Wow!
08:22What about Daniel Striped Tiger?
08:24Just look at that drooling, idiotic look on that face.
08:28They've done something with his brain.
08:30I don't know, Rubella.
08:32Buster kind of always looks that way.
08:34If we don't do something soon, we'll all be...
08:38You're both acting silly.
08:39It's very simple, and I'll prove it to you.
08:41I'll just ask Arthur if he needs help with homework.
08:44You watch.
08:46No, go away.
08:47I mean, thank you, but if I need any help with homework, Buster's here.
08:50Bye.
08:51Buster, helping with homework?
08:55What kind of idiots do those zombies take us for?
08:58We have to take quick action if we're going to save your friends.
09:03And there was this one time on your show, you learned to dance, and I learned it too.
09:09Wow, you remembered that really well, Buster.
09:13Soon we'll all be making fools of ourselves for their stupid zombie entertainment.
09:17You know, Arthur, I wonder if we could talk a little.
09:28Sometimes if I'm feeling embarrassed about something.
09:34Excuse me.
09:35Down, down.
09:40Quickly, we must find another window.
09:43I know, Grace.
09:44I said the same thing to Tommy, just the other...
09:46Wait a minute.
09:47What have we here?
09:50Oh my gosh, Grace!
09:52Burglars at the Reed House!
09:53Gotta go!
09:56In the long, long trip of growing,
10:00there are stops along the way
10:02for thoughts of all the soft things
10:06and a look at yesterday.
10:09Aw, he was just getting to the good part.
10:12You can go home now, Buster, but remember, you can't tell...
10:16Are those sirens?
10:19Sounds like they're right outside.
10:24It was a strange day in the neighborhood
10:26when Mr. Rogers came for a visit.
10:28The suspicious goings-on turned out to be
10:31nothing more than a visit from an old friend of the family.
10:34I wondered where you were hiding, Arthur.
10:42I think maybe I'm sick.
10:44In fact, I may be too sick to go to school tomorrow.
10:47Or even ever again.
10:50You know, if I'm feeling mad or sad or glad about something,
10:55I try to tell somebody about it.
10:57I just don't want everyone to think I'm a...
11:00that I like...
11:02I mean...
11:03You don't want them to think you're a little kid anymore.
11:06Yeah!
11:07I mean, no offense.
11:09Sometimes you feel like you're too old for certain things.
11:12I just don't want people to make fun of me.
11:15Real friends don't make fun of real friends.
11:19And your friends seem like real friends.
11:22They all seem to be concerned about you.
11:24Well, at least nobody in my class watches the news.
11:29Arthur, your house was on TV last night.
11:31I have a tape if anyone didn't see it.
11:33Did Mr. Rogers really stay with you?
11:36Well, did he change his shoes whenever he came in?
11:39Did he bring picture-picture?
11:41Mr. Rogers?
11:42He's just for babies.
11:44It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
11:47A lovely day for a neighbor.
11:49Mr. M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M...
11:53You must be Binky Barnes.
11:55Arthur's told me about you.
11:57He did?
11:58I mean, uh...
12:00Can I have your autograph?
12:01And I just want to say how much I've enjoyed my time here in Elwood City.
12:08Now, does anybody have anything to ask or tell me?
12:11Mr. Rogers, did you really stay at Arthur's house yesterday?
12:17I think Arthur can answer that, Binky.
12:21Well, that is a... I mean...
12:25Yes, Binky, he did.
12:27Whoa!
12:29Can I have your autograph, too?
12:32Sure.
12:38And now, we're from off to it!
12:41I'm Max. This is my kindergarten class.
12:44We want to know how Mr. Rogers got to be on the Arthur show.
12:48How do you think they turned me, Mr. Rogers, into an animated character?
12:54Tough question.
12:56They put him in the tub, and then he goes underwater, and then he turns into a cartoon.
13:03To put him inside a box, and then the guy taps the box two times, and then he changed it to a cartoon character.
13:14Film him like Arthur, except, like, with a different animal.
13:19The picture was in Mark Brown's head, and it turned out that he created an aardvark for me.
13:26And then the animators took that and made a lot of pictures so that together, it looked like they were moving through animation.
13:37You have to animate him with a character, with a voice.
13:42Today, we're in the recording studio, to add the voice to the picture.
13:47Okay, Fred, number 39B, take one.
13:50I wondered where you were hiding, Arthur.
13:53So, the aardvark has Mr. Rogers' voice.
13:57You don't want them to think you're a little kid anymore.
14:01Okay, Fred, that's a wrap.
14:03Anybody could make animation.
14:05My class is real, but we could be animated.
14:09And now, back to Arthur!
14:23Francine's my friend, but she can be hard to get along with.
14:32Anybody can be a sore loser, but Francine can be a sore winner.
14:36Oh, that makes me so mad!
14:38But you just won!
14:41I should have won by more!
14:43And she sure likes to argue.
14:46Is not!
14:47Is too!
14:47Is not!
14:48Is too!
14:49Brain, give up!
14:51You can't win!
14:53Yes, I can!
14:54No, you can't!
14:55Yes, I can!
14:55No, you can't!
14:56Can't!
14:57Can't!
14:57Can't!
14:58Can't!
14:58Can't!
14:59Can't!
14:59And this is what she's like in a good mood.
