The company that holds the rights to Mister Rogers Neighborhood is engaging in some not-so-neighborly behavior. The Fred Rogers Company, formerly known as Family Communications, has used a copyright claim to compel YouTube to take down Mr. Rogers: A War Hero, an entry in Adi Shankar's Bootleg Universe. The claim is currently being appealed.
War Hero, which premiered on March 20, imagines an alternate history for Fred Rogers, the kindly TV host who entertained several generations of American kids. While the real-life Rogers never served in the military, War Hero imagines a world in which he did. Kenlon Clark wrote and directed the short, and ScreenCraft funded it as the grand prize of the 2016 ScreenCraft Bootleg Universe Short Screenplay Contest.

Adi Shankar has added Mr. Rogers to his Bootleg Universe. The short film, titled Mr. Rogers: A War Hero and written and directed by Kenlon Clark, while satirical like the rest of the Bootleg Universe, is meant to be a tribute to Fred Rogers on what would have been his 90th birthday.
