Very Rocky Beach is in the Christmas mood. There is a small Christmas market, Justus still looking for the perfect gift for Aunt Mathilda and Porter has hired a Santa Claus, where you can betray his wishes, so he brings them gifts. But shortly before the gifts there is a nasty surprise: All packets from Rocky Beach were stolen. Clearly, Justus, Peter and Bob begin immediately with the investigation
Christmas is strong in Rocky Beach, one year after the radio dramas step Advent of three ??? Kids there now with the Christmas thief a special episode that revolves entirely around the most beautiful time of the year and has the celebration of love as the main theme. The entrance is pretty quiet succeeded the action has been slow going. While it is funny to hear how Justus looking for the perfect gift and as Skinny Norris angry Santa Claus, but as long as here the story really did not need hindümpeln right. And even at a later stage, there are few exciting places, especially as seen through immediately who the perpetrators and how did he do it. The transfer of the offender comes to simple and unexcited by equip. That is shown in the end what is behind the evil act and that an attempt is made to make everything good again, is well described and then again brings a whole different note with a. And at the end even more cheerful Christmas mood is then spread, including a very special guest. Unfortunately, the action is then quite tough and clearly advised with nearly 80 minutes long, so I could not convince this episode quite despite the appealing theme.
Jürgen Thormann can be heard in this episode as Santa and thief does his job once again really good. His very special, slightly scratchy voice he can sometimes sound very good-natured and friendly, then again mischievous and slightly beating. Only towards the end he lets himself be carried away and puts a little too much emotion in his voice. Tim Kreuer times to hear again as unsympathetic and meaner Skinny Norris, here he lets himself go completely and increases well into the role. Ingrid Capelle makes her motherly charm play again as Mathilda and ensures just in the last scene of the Christmas spirit. Other speakers include Achim Schülke, Johannes Steck and Tommi Piper.
Of course, the series is intended primarily for children of primary school age, and also the acoustic design is tailored to their needs. This means a lot, matching sounds that accompany the dialogues and make some actions more easily understandable. The music is good again added, which I had presented with in some places a little weihnachtlichere melodies.
Of course, the cover takes up the festive theme. A huge Christmas tree, decorated with candles, bells and stars, adorns the background, the ground is covered with snow and is being examined by Bob on footprints, while Justus an empty, torn from Geschenkpäckchen holds in hands and right bedröppelt three looks. The comic-like style especially appeals to the younger audience.
Conclusion: The result of three Christmas ??? do not want to really get into the swing, which is also because that quickly all the facts are clear and so no voltage is generated. But for each other and the bad deeds of reparation will end up understanding involved, which is very suitable. A rather marbled installment in the series.
