Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Gavin Cresswell (gavin-thelordofthefu-48-460297) All Hail King Julien, centered around three of the lemurs Julien, Maurice and Mort on their adventures around Madagascar, became the third TV series from DreamWorks Animation and on Netflix after Turbo F.A.S.T. and Veggietales in the House before The Adventures of Puss in Boots in 2015. Since the show still has it's fan base after it ended, I really agree with them that this is a really solid prequel to the Madagascar franchise. Not only does it deliver on the characterization and complexity of Julien and his antics that we know and love, but his interactions with Maurice, Mort, and everyone else in Madagascar including Clover, who steals the show due to her combination of bad*** and funny, along with his determination to protect the throne from his evil Uncle King Julien. Speaking of which, the villains are interesting, especially Karl, who is by far one of the best characters in the entire show due to his rivalry with Julien. Dwight Schultz, known for his roles in The A-Team, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: First Contact, and Ben 10 as Dr. Animo, did a great job providing a mixture of evil and funny to the character. Also, it provided some social commentary on important topics including coffee addiction, social media, election votes, modern music, and more and they all work without feeling heavy-handed.Everything else is neat too. The music score is nice, the comedy is well-done thanks to the line-delivery of Danny Jacobs, who did a great job impersonating Sacha Baron Cohan's voice from the movies, and the rest of the cast members including Andy Richter who returned to voice Mort from the movies. And last but not least, the animation and by golly is it gorgeous. The backgrounds, the movements, the expressions, and the cartoony-ness. Oh, and the characters are likeable especially Julien, Maurice, Mort, and Clover.If there's one nitpick that I do have with this show is that it did started out a little bit childish in the first couple of seasons until the rest of the show got better. That's all I have to say, though.Overall, as a prequel to one of DreamWorks' Animation's successful franchises, All Hail King Julien is definitely the exact Netflix show that everyone else should check out. It's funny, it's clever, and it's really worth your time. Recommended! :)

Gavin Geng This series of animation is very detailed and sometimes can let to some deeper thoughts. Compare to the first movie of Madagascar, some minor characters in the lemurs already exist, for example, Willie. The characters are developed very well. You can always see the changes and same things in their qualities across the episodes. For Julien, he has become more responsible than the beginning of his reign. However, his goal hasn't changed at all----to make his people happy. The stories are superb to me, after all. The voices are much better than the movies, less disturbing and weird. The graphics are clearly much detailed compared to other Madagascar series, similar to Penguins in Madagascar. Trust me, it worth a shot, you will find it interesting while thinking some symbolisms and theme of each story. I also find there are much sarcasm in the shows, hope you find my comment useful and the show enjoyable!

pheonixknight00 Spoilers aheadThis show is great. It starts with Julien becoming king and the antics he gets into after that. Such as an episode where the whole kingdom becomes addicted to coffee. Or where Julien stumbles onto a place for a party he thought he wasn't invited to and accidentally destroys it. He blames it on a giant gecko instead owning up to it. To cover up his lie he asks an inventor to make a mecha gecko for them to capture but it goes wild so he must help stop it. Showing that his lie put his friends in danger and he helps stop it. The animation is spot on, the humor is perfect and the writing is great. I recently saw some episodes of the Netflix Kong King of the Apes and that show is sub-par to this one on every level.The ending of season two is a cliffhanger making me eager to see season three.This show teaches that even a self centered person can have a good heart and does what is right when the time comes. It shows that lying can lead to more trouble than its worth. It also teaches that trusting in others like family and friends will help you in life. But it does all of this without shoving the messages down your throat like Kong does.This show is is amazing for anyone to watch where Kong is a mess. I would love to see Kong fixed with some help from Dreamworks who do a great job here and How to Train Your Dragon. They just need to release season three for me now.

larisarules 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
