I saw this at the Calgary International Film Festival and it touched me in a way I never expected. The full force of the impact Mr. Dressup had on me and millions of others hit me hard in the feels. Seeing his friendly face on the big screen after 30 years took me right back to my childhood and made me realize he's kind of a hero to me. This is a documentary that should've been made years ago, but it's never too late. The director handled the subject matter with the same warmth and love that Ernie "Mr Dressup" Coombs himself lived his life.
There wasn't a dry eye in the theater. Highly recommended.
