Handy Manny Motorcycle Adventure DVD

In a similar world (and animation style) to such characters as Dora, Diego, and Kai-Lan, Handy Manny has come to be a favorite in my household, and perhaps for somewhat difficult to discern reasons. While talking tools may be a bit of a laugh, the continued adventures of a handyman setting off to another job of tightening a few screws is something I would not have guessed would win children over.

My abilities to know what kids will like aside, Handy Manny is certainly something you'll be happy your children want to watch, even if you're a bit surprised. In Motorcycle Adventure, the show puts a bit more action into things, as Manny takes to the road to try and make it to a family reunion on time.

The show focuses on working together and the importance of helping out, and it's rather hard to argue with such themes. With some pretty cool songs in the mix (Los Lobos performs "Rolling Down The Highway"), some laughs, and a lot of fun the kids will enjoy, this is easily an above-average special episode.

The DVD also includes the episode A Very Hand Holiday, with various modes of viewing, and the combination makes this a great gift choice.

In this road trip adventure, Manny decides to bring his friends and tools along for the ride to a fiesta grande – Manny’s family reunion. With everyone safely aboard his magnificent motorcycle, Manny helps the communities he passes through with fixes and repairs, and even has time to teach Pat the hammer that families come in all shapes and sizes. With quick teamwork and clever steering, Manny manages to rescue Pat, Squeeze, and Flicker who strayed from the group and get everyone to the reunion on time to partake in the exciting family festivities.

A Very Handy Holiday It's the night of Kelly's Winter Holiday Party and Manny and the tools are finishing up their holiday gift making before they go. But when a series of emergency holiday repairs are needed all over town, their celebration plans are threatened and the tools learn that helping others is an even better way to celebrate the holidays.
