Whether it’s a case of loose stitching, low batteries or a blow-up toy that’s sprung a leak, Doc and her pals are always there to lend a helping hand, while imparting to young viewers the importance of taking care of oneself and others.
“HANDY MANNY” – “Valentine’s Day Party” – Manny wants to invite Kelly to Mrs. Portillo’s Valentine’s Day party and finally works up the courage with a little help from the tools.

“Handy Manny,” stars the voice of Wilmer Valderrama (“That 70’s Show”) as loveable handyman Manny Garcia and follows the adventures of Manny and his feisty set of talking tools as they eagerly assist neighbors by taking on their fix-it projects, no matter how big or small. Along the way, Manny and his friends model conflict resolution and problem solving skills as part of Disney Junior’s mission to help kids imagine, learn and grow up well-rounded.
