Tobi asks the Playmos if they can not even take you on an adventure his friend Tom. But before they can reconsider its proposal properly, ringing Liv communicator 'their help as secret agents is required. Because Dr. Devil has escaped from his prison and terrorized again Commander X and his team ...
It is almost a tradition of Playmos that will make use of past episodes and new stories are told in the setting with the same people. Also in the episode 23 that is the case, 'hunt for Dr. Devil' was the first episode about secret agent. Although this time are all Playmos in use, and also Dr. Devil now gets one vote and some appearances on the mood has changed little. Even this result is a total of more serious than most of their predecessors, only a few of the witty sayings can be heard here, the story seems more threatening, maybe by the settlement at the present time. But of course can here the many creative elements are not missing, which account for a large part of the charm of the series. Tricky secret code or nasty robot critters are just two examples of this. The course of action is exciting succeeded the threat of Dr. Devil seems to be ever present, but of course still approaching very child-friendly. Although 'The Playmos secret mission' can not quite live up to 'hunt down Dr. Devil', the unusual atmosphere and the great narrative structure make this series to a very strong 'since the reunion with the well-known characters is also here well done ,
Of course, in addition to new characters are also heard familiar voices from the previous episode. Claudia Urbschat-Mingues speaks example here also Agent Beta and shows again a different side of their skills. Frank Glaubrecht as Commander X is a very good choice, his memorable voice and liquid speaking style fits very well with the assertive character. Ingo Albrecht appears as Dr. Devil in appearance, his appearance is quite ominous for children, a very good performance. Other speakers include Martin Theuer, Thomas Nero Wolff and Rainer Fritzsche.
Music during the action again, no in use, as well as the arsenal of sounds very scaled back is' here are the speakers with their dialogues unchallenged in the foreground. And that's a good thing, because at the Playmos it still is a children's series, the audience could very distracted otherwise.
Just like the story of the cover is also quite gloomy here, here you can already see that it is not too loose and fun go. Dr. Devil is seen in his secret laboratory where he performs his strange experiments' course everything recreated with Playmobil figures. The clear and concise structure has positive again here.
Conclusion: An exciting adventure that places great emphasis on the exciting plot, children but not overwhelmed. Very successful!
