SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Sandman 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

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.

shanefarley 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!

cathyparr1001 I enjoy that cartoon. But, I'm a huge fan of Sasha Baron Cohen. To me, the king just isn't the king unless he's voiced by Sasha Baron Cohen. SBC has King Julien's personality to a tee. I think the King was created to be voiced by SBC. This is not to discredit Danny Jacobs. He does a good job. But, to me, King Julien and SBC are one and the same. I'm sure the children will enjoy this show. I enjoyed the movies. I still like to whistle and tell people that I hope to someday be a professional whistler. I need to come up with more lines to post this. I get a message saying I have to have at least ten lines of text and I think I have twelve. I don't mean to pad the message with words. But, I can't think of more to say.
