The Playmos are back! And with the fifth episode, there is apart from the usual adventures also equal to a little history lesson, we learn that is something about ancient Rome. But everything is so well packaged and sent accommodated that even five year olds can follow well. Ever this result is exciting, but remains child-friendly and easy to follow even for the little ones. Particularly beautiful are the somewhat riotous comments Playmos which do completely without evil curses. It will instead be witty alliteration used, such as: "knick Riger hood Kasper" Even Captain Tolle, the parrot of Playomos is to speak through his kind in rhyme very funny. So the humor is not forgotten in all the excitement and the dangerous adventure. The adults among us are likely to feel well entertained as long as you have no aversion to radio plays for children. For the kids, it would be an absolute hit, especially because you can let yourself EF International to play.
Ricardo judge, Nicolas Artajo and Giuliana Jokobeit are the three Playmos Sam, Emil and Liv. The three are a committed team, in radio drama as a spokesman. Even Captain Great, speaking of Santiago Ziesmer is a real treat for the ears, for who else might as well talk to a parrot? In this episode, we hear also Nico Sablik as Quintus, who does his job extremely well, and Norbert Langer as evil villains Flavius, who is very convincing, without scaring the younger listeners too. As always there as Tobi, his mother and narrator are David Wittmann, the charming Ulrike Sturzbecher and Gerrit Schmidt-Foss.
Here again, the music keeps more in the background, so as not to divert attention from the speakers. But if it is used, it is crazy and fun. Especially the grandiose title track invites you to sing along ("What are we? Friends!") The noise integrate well into the plot and are credible.
On the cover we get - adjusted with Playmobil figures - a taste of ancient Rome, including the Coliseum and galley. Also on the back of this style is continued. Commendable is the reference in the booklet on the free episode for download on the website of Playmos.
Conclusion: An exciting and entertaining episode to the three Playmos. Interesting topic, great history, great speakers. Hörspiel heart what you want more?
