Roi Julian! L'Élu des lémurs

I grew up with this show and it'll always be a favorite of mine. The comedy is hilarious and the characters are likable. It really gives such depth and development to King Julien that the Madagascar movies forget about.

I found. This looking for something to pass the time with my 16 month old I can't stand Disney channel and most cartoons are terrible and empty for real content. This has a good story line creative ideas and truly is good smart funny show for children. I actually enjoy watching this with my son. I could watch this on my own and I'm 34 and have zero interest in cartons typically. I get good laughs from this show frequently. The character of Julien is my favorite his voice alone cracks me up. I had never seen the Madagascar movies but will be getting the three box set because this show. The characters all are well thought out. Need more like this one 10 stars is not enough I would give 100% if it were an option. I hope they make many seasons to come of this show!

I thought this show was hilarious. At times it does get wacky but that's part of the fun. Some shows are just meant for you to laugh. It touched on modern issues like gun control, safe spaces, helicopter parents, social media and others, but instead of taking stances on the issue, the show just showed how the issues could play out for better or worse. The characters were interesting and the writing was very creative. Great show to lift your mood. There are subtle adult jokes, but I don't think kids will understand them enough to notice. Overall the humor was clean. There's some toilet humor, but I didn't mind it too much. Entertaining and funny show. My favorite character was Ted. In fact, I liked mostly all of the characters. The voice actors did great.

Well... I would not really say that about the first couple seasons (which were still pretty good). Still, throughout the series the humor is actually, well, real humor compared to that raunchy garbage in about half of every comedy in the last decade. Real humor is clean in my opinion, and All Hail King Julien is always clean no matter what. Of course I am not 17 yet and my parents will not let me watch R-rated movies but I do not personally think I am missing out on much of anything. The characters are hilarious (some more than others) and always very fun to watch. The show's screenwriters and character designers actually acknowledge that there is such thing as amusing characters that do NOT hook up, drop F-bombs, or smoke weed. In fact, no form of sex, drugs, or swearing ever occur. The story as well as Julien's kingdom are pleasantly surprising in their complexity, but of course never so complex that the kids would get confused. The first couple seasons are kind of childish but it quickly gets a lot more clever in the third season and beyond. The kingdom is always changing and there is even social commentary every so often, critiquing such topics as coffee addiction, fads, currency, social media, etc. Bottom line: great Netflix show that is recommended to anyone who is NOT annoyed by the characters' voices

Arguably a prequel to the Madagascar movies. This show is set in Madagascar before the penguins arrive and center entirely around the lemurs, in particular King Julien and his somewhat crazy exploits.

You could consider this an upgrade of the penguin series. The format is doubled in length and the result is more complex story lines. The writing is very creative and over the top hilarious with the obvious.

New characters are introduced, chief among which is King Juliens new security adviser. A paranoid female lemur by the name of clover. Leaving Maurice with more fires to put out than normal. I fear for his blood pressure.

Mort has been somewhat sidelined but seems to be a lot more accident prone than usual. Often at the hands of the king himself. Which seem fitting as he is often super annoying.

King Julien is still voiced by Danny Jacobs and he never disappoints. Making this one of the most hilarious shows in years.

I do from time to time miss Skippers frustration. So I must deduct a star. 9/10
