Lopart always refuses, resulting in some sort of comic outcome that always includes Mr. Lopart, who is usually trying to do a repair on his own. Every day when Manny heads into town, he passes by Mr. Lopart is essentially the antithesis of Manny: a stubborn man not nearly as happy-go-lucky as his neighbor. These two humans are locked into the same roles each episode, and do little beyond what they were created for. Lopart (Tom Kenny), Manny's next-door neighbor, and Kelly (Nancy Truman), the sweet owner of the hardware store. The other regular characters of "Handy Manny" include Mr. Their antics and arguments remind one of pairs like Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie. Adding a bit more flair are the pair of screwdrivers: practical and sometimes grumpy flathead Turner (Dee Bradley Baker) and the fun-loving Phillips Head Felipe (Carlos Alazraqui). The gang of herramientas (tools) are quirky little characters with witty names such as Pat the hammer (voiced by Tom Kenny), Stretch the tape measure (Nika Futterman), Squeeze the pliers (Nika Futterman again), Rusty the monkey wrench (Fred Stoller), and Dusty the saw (Kath Soucie).
In his toolbox is a motley crew of big-eyed, talking tools that defy the laws of gravity as they bounce, balance, and float around town. He charms the town (and surely the parents watching) with his wholesomeness and eagerness to help others.
With the instantly recognizable voice of "That '70s Show" star Wilder Valderrama, Manny comes off as a likable, believable hero-of-the-day. Apparently the citizens of Sheetrock Hills break things often, keeping Manny Garcia and his magical tools employed and viewers entertained. Manny is simply the friendly, bilingual neighborhood handyman with "You break it, we fix it!" as his motto. Leaving the big construction projects to Bob and his bulldozers and the yelling of Spanish lessons to Dora and Boots, If one were to judge a book by its cover, "Handy Manny" is Playhouse Disney's response to Nick Jr.'s popular children's programming, combining "Bob the Builder" with "Dora the Explorer." In many aspects, one would be right, but in the end, "Handy Manny" holds up well enough on its own merits.
