Abuelito (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) is Manny's grandfather, who is retired and likes to spend time with Manny and the tools.

Lopart's son, who is known for his clumsiness, and is often seen trying to fix something independently. With the instantly recognizable voice of "That '70s Show" star Wilder Valderrama, Manny comes off as a likable, believable hero-of-the-day. While not as sophisticated of an animated experience as other Playhouse Disney shows, “Handy Manny” does have a certain charm. Mayor Rosa (voiced by Nancy Truman) is the mayor of Sheetrock Hills and a friend of Manny and the tools.

No one seems to be needing repairs today, so Manny and the tools decide to relax with puzzles and music. There's a degree of softness to the animation, likely a creative decision rather than a shortcoming in the transfer. I'd recommend this DVD to any parent looking for a fun, new and educational character to add to their child's DVD library. For instance, Felipe the Phillips Head screwdriver advises to use the smaller Phillips Head screws over the larger flathead screws for a particular project. However, it's worth pointing out that "Supremoguy" does come off as a bit too soft; the episode does look rather fuzzy compared to others on disc.

These can be accessed from the Sneak Peeks menu along with trailers for "Handy Manny": Fixing it Right, The Secret of the Magic Gourd, The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning, and "My Friends Tigger and Pooh" on Playhouse Disney. The entire disc could probably do well to occupy a child for an hour's worth of "Handy Manny" entertainment until a new episode airs the following morning. Handy Manny is an animated children's television series that premiered with its first two episodes consecutively on September 16, 2006, [2] originally as part of Disney Channel's Playhouse Disney block.Episodes come off as repetitive at times, but are smartly written with subtle bits of Spanish phrases and accurate facts about home repair and construction. If Manny isn't fixing something (which he seldom does, since the tools seem to do most of the work), he's reassuring his tools that they each are special in their own way, but only when they work together will they find success. When Julieta and Senor Sanchez moved to a new home, Julieta thought that there's a monster in the closet, but there's no monster in her closet, it's just her toy bear.

Susana (voiced by Isabella Pajaro) is a little girl who loves dolls and has a baby sister named Isabela. She appeared on "A Whale of a Tale", "Seal Appeal" and "Beach Clean Up", and with the help of Manny and the tools, things turned out well. This backs the creators into a corner since the 11-minute episode format allows the slim plots to be told tightly, but also leaves little room for strong characterization. Ticks (voiced by Jesse Corti) and Totts (voiced by Cristobal Parson) are two socket wrench twin brothers.Web icon An illustration of a computer application window Wayback Machine Texts icon An illustration of an open book.
