Dolly Parton fans are getting a special treat to end the Christmas holiday after NBC re-aired the movie about the singer's life, 'Dolly Parton's Coat Of Many Colors' detailing her humble upbringing.
The flick stars Alyvia Alyn Lind, Jennifer Nettles, Gerald McRaney, and Ricky Schroder and people online love the cast and they LOVE this movie!
The movie shares the name of a song Parton's released in 1971. In the song, she tells the story of how her mother stitched together a coat using rags she had been given. She describes how her mom weaved it in with the story of Joseph and his "coat of many colors."
The moral of the song is that "poor" people are only that way if they choose to fell that way. Even without money, the coat could be full of riches.
The film was released in 2015, but fans were pumped to see it air again on NBC for the holidays. Dolly Parton fans could not get enough of it and are letting their feelings known on social media.
One common theme is the actual coat, several people posted pictures of the actual 'Coat of Many Colors' which sits behind glass at 'Dollywood.' Check It Out!
"Dolly Parton’s “Coat of Many Colors” is on tv right now and it’s very wholesome. Getcha a fuzzy blanket, popcorn, and your heart will feel so warm. U are welcome," one person wrote.
Another added, "Just watched Dolly Parton’s movie, “Coat of many colors.” I wish every person could watch that movie! This picture is her actual coat of many colors made for her by her mother out of scraps of cloth."

Another fan posted, "Mom puts on Dolly Parton's "A Coat of Many Colors." Me Five Minutes In - Ugh, can we please watch something else? Me 65 Minutes in (sobbing) - But why would they take the coat? Her mother worked so hard on it!"
