When the Disney Channel first aired Handy Manny, my kids and I were curious to see what it was all about. I don’t often speak Spanish around them which I know isn’t good for them but I grew up in a household where English was the number one language. I guess I got used to it.
Handy Manny is a bi-lingual show about a Hispanic handyman and his animated, talking tools. The show teaches young children the beginnings of Spanish and the importance of cultural diversity. Learning Spanish while watching a show is perfect for us!
In the full-length movie (approx. 50 min.), Handy Manny’s Motorcycle Adventure, Manny packs up his stuff and his talking tools for an exciting road trip. They headed out to a Fiesta Grande – Manny’s family reunion. But instead of going straight to see his family, he veers off the original plan and takes a detour. He must hurry because he may miss the party and his family will be very upset that he missed out on the best family celebration.
The best part of the DVD was the the bonus episode called “A Very Handy Holiday”. It’s full of festivities and great music. There’s even a game your child can play with just using your remote control. My daughter LOVED this!
If your child loves Handy Manny, this movie is a must-see!
***DVD is available now.
