- Daniel Tiger first met Juan Carlos in last year’s hour-long movie event “Daniel Visits a New Neighborhood,” which found the adorable tiger taking his first train ride. Daniel Tiger and Juan Carlos have kept in touch as pen pals, and their moms have also remained friends. This will be their first in-person reunion since that film.

- Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is an animated series inspired by Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, which introduced the puppet character Daniel Striped Tiger, who lived in a grandfather clock. Fred Rogers infused the character with elements of his own personality, with his son, Daniel Tiger, carrying on Fred Rogers’ legacy today.
