This review is from: Handy Manny - Tooling Around (DVD)

My son is only five months and started watching (or rather looked toward the TV screen) Handy Manny at four months. While he might not understand the message the show brings he certainly loves the colors and shapes of the CG animation. I know this is a show I will want him to watch as he gets older and starts understanding words and the world around him.

Why this show? Because it displays some very good values without being preachy. Teamwork, honesty, integrity, and work ethic (not to mention a little spanish). Not to be all socio-political, but it also shows how to respect people of all social and economic classes. It's a very well written show for a young children's show, and I don't mean deep character development or anything like that. More like the pacing of the show is smooth with very few hiccups to move the simple story along.

The computer animation has a softer tone to it that makes me wonder if they were using some cell shading to give it the "cartoon" look and feel. Either way it's easy on the eyes. It looks like this DVD will have three episodes of the show plus a bonus, never before seen episode (Sweeze's Day off). Not much else besides and interactive game, but then again most parents get these DVDs to occupy their kid's time with the show, not the special features.

This review is from: Handy Manny - Tooling Around (DVD)

Nothing much here to say, except kids love this stuff! Ive built houses with my dad and loved construction since I was a kid so I can relate to the tools and projects.

Overall its a pretty decent movie, and a nice change of pace from watching Spongebob repeatedly... ;( It has enough of an educational aspect that I think its worth it. My nephew seems to enjoy it and hes learning the names of tools and the idea of what they are used for so its good for that purpose.

Handy Manny is another good introduction to basic Spanish words. My 3-year old Son really enjoys the story lines, and of course, all of the toy tools in his toolbox are named after the character tools from the movie. Involves teamwork, problem-solving, social skills, and basic Spanish.
