Roi Julian! L'Élu des lémurs

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

Forget the penguins of Madagascar, the lemurs are so cue and funny! My daughters and I have seen every episode on the first season. My daughters have been asking for more lemur shows and I keep telling them that we have seen all the shows. My girls are always humored by the characters dancing and the fun, upbeat music too. I would enjoy seeing another season and even a movie with these adorable characters in it!

I have to say that Mort seems to be the favorite in our household. To be honest, I love each of the main characters and feel that they are perfectly fit with their voices. I have seen and loved many things that Jeff Bennett has voiced over and he didn't disappoint on his characters. Sadly, this show is only shown through Netflix, which is okay to me because we are members.

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.

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.

Like me, if you're an animation fan you'll love what they have done with the show! Every episode comes with a different trouble created by our beloved King Julien. The show is very entertaining throughout, and casual, full of life lessons, for instance there are episodes portraying bad habits adults often stuck on. In a sentence, the show is a mix of children theme with dirty jokes for adults. So even if your kids are around you can watch and have a laugh together.
