Mr. Dressup Documentary Released

Few individuals in Canada have the power to bring Canadians together like Mr. Dressup.

Over an impressive span of 29 years and a remarkable 4,000 episodes, this cherished children’s show host graced television screens nationwide. He warmly invited children to delve into his iconic Tickle Trunk alongside a delightful cast of puppet companions, with the beloved duo of Casey and Finnegan at the forefront.

Yet, while many are acquainted with the character portrayed by Ernie Coombs, far fewer are familiar with the heartwarming origin story of how Mr. Dressup became a cornerstone of Canadian television.

Now, this documentary delves deep into the legacy of Mr. Dressup and his profound influence on children’s programming. This documentary weaves together interviews with notable Canadian figures such as Michael J. Fox, the Barenaked Ladies, and Bif Naked, alongside archival footage from the show and personal anecdotes from the late Coombs’ life.

“Mr. Dressup: The World of Make-Believe” offers an intimate look into the life of a man celebrated for his kindness, inclusivity, and boundless creativity.
