Story
Handy Manny and his tools are off to Manny’s family reunion. But before they go, they need to visit the hardware shop to get a spark plug for Manny’s motorbike. A little way into their journey, they almost run out of petrol. When they find a service station, the pump is broken, so the tools must work together to fix it.
Meanwhile, Pat the Hammer wants to find his own family. He gets stuck in a hardware delivery truck, which Manny and the other tools have to chase. But Manny takes a short cut and must deal with cows on the road, a flat tyre and a large ravine. He finally catches the truck and saves Pat, then heads off to his family reunion. They all have a great time at the reunion, and Pat realises he has a great family in Manny and the other tools.

Ideas to discuss with your children
Handy Manny Motorcycle Adventure is a story about the importance of friendship and family. It’s also about how family is sometimes more than just the people you’re related to. This short movie is the first story on a longer DVD of the same name.
Values in this movie that you could follow up with your children include:
- making time for family and friends
- working together as a team to get a job done
- helping people in need.
This movie could also give you the chance to talk with your children about real-life issues such as running away. For example, when Pat the Hammer goes off on his own, he puts himself in danger and gets his friends very worried.
