Astral’s Playhouse Disney is going on the road with Handy Manny this Thanksgiving with the premiere of Handy Manny Big Construction Job on Monday, October 11 at 9:30 a.m. ET/PT. In the hour-long special, Manny, voiced by Wilmer Valderrama, and his trusty tools travel out-of-town to work on a big construction job where they meet new power tools friends who help them get the job done.
In this special episode, Manny and the tools – Felipe, Pat, Turner, Stretch, Squeeze, Dusty, Rusty and Flicker – head to Concrete Falls to take on the exciting challenge of working on a big city construction job where they meet exciting new power tool friends, Jack the jackhammer and Spinner the power drill. In Manny’s absence, Mr. Lopart is busy handling repairs in Sheet Rock Hills, causing the town to slowly fall apart. After friends and neighbours rush to Kelly’s store to inquire when Manny and the tools will return, Kelly sets out to find Manny and the tools and convince them to come home. The special features three new original songs – “Hey Manny,” “Power Tools” and “It’s Good to be Back Home” – performed by Manny and the cast of tools.
In advance of the premiere of Handy Manny’s Big Construction Job, Playhouse Disney has back-to-back episodes of Handy Manny beginning at 8 a.m. ET. An encore presentation of Handy Manny’s Big Construction Job airs Monday, October 11 at 6:30 p.m. ET.
