Many issues have been taken on the Playmos in the wonderful children's series, always new venues and characters provide plenty of variety. Episode 43 but is the first time a Christmas episode emerged that not only tells a compelling story, but also a lot of Christmas spirit spreads. The first scene that describes the Christmas Eve when Paul and his parents, seems a little trubelig what many families quite well s is indeed lived - but then it is mysterious, because actually seems Santa Claus come to what the Playmos experience first hand , This small plug-in which the pawns are not yet indeed already alive, but in a different world, like and fun. But eventually they come in the winter landscape and meet there the wife of Santa Claus, the speaking with a Norwegian accent Imp Petri and some reindeer the magical atmosphere comes this very good effect. In a turbulent adventure Playmos the need to find Santa Claus, because a bad guy drives in its cladding to mischief much to do, much to tell, so that an atmospheric sequence arises. I then especially liked the resolution, standing in the forgiveness and cooperation in the foreground. During the follow-carols are repeatedly cited, and also the humor comes with some alliteration and witty remarks to advantage. A successful and beautiful result that is very varied through its many different stations.
Tim Knauer speaks in this episode the Imp Petri acting unusually very cutesy speech and the strong Norwegian accent, thanks to clearer speech but to understand well for children. Bert Franzke has assumed the role of Santa Claus, sounding as cheerful as benevolent. Robert Nitschke can be heard as the Bogeyman, he sounds a little mischievous, but can also show other facets. Other speakers include Thomas Nero Wolff, Jonas Schmidt-Foss and Antje von der Ahe.
Already at the beginning of a special atmosphere is created with bell sounds on the title track, with the remainder of the episode just gently alluding to the Christmas theme during the action. But again some are suitable built noises just for background design, so that a vibrant and appropriate atmosphere.
Even the cover of this episode was shown with Playmobil figures and shows the sleigh of Santa Claus, where numerous details are visible. Two reindeer, many gifts, an angel and of course, Santa Claus can be seen here, while the background is just as the blue frame decorated with numerous stars.
Conclusion: The Christmas theme is well implemented in many scenes, so that a fast-paced, varied action has arisen. Here the secret of Santa Claus is skilfully picked up and provided with loving characters. A nice idea for the holiday season!
