Madagascar (TV series)

Madagascar: The Series was an Canadian-American animated television series based off Madagascar.
== Plot ==
In Central park Zoo, They went to go on a adventure.
== Cast ==
=== Main ===
Ben Stiller as Alex, a lion. Tom McGrath explained that "Ben Stiller was the first actor we asked to perform, and we knew we wanted his character, Alex, to be a big performing lion with a vulnerable side."
Chris Rock as Marty, a plains zebra. McGrath explained the character: "Marty is a guy who thinks there might be more to life than what's in the zoo. We wanted his character to be energetic, so we listened to Chris Rock."
David Schwimmer as Melman, a hypochondriac reticulated giraffe who is afraid of germs. When they were looking for a voice actor for Melman, they listened to Schwimmer's voice on Friends and, according to McGrath, thought that it "sounded really neat."
Jada Pinkett Smith as Gloria, a strong, confident, but sweet hippopotamus. McGrath said that they found all these traits in Pinkett Smith's voice, when they listened to her.
=== Recurring ===
Sacha Baron Cohen as King Julien XIII, a ring-tailed lemur and the king of the lemurs. King Julien was initially only meant to be a "two-line" character until auditioning Baron Cohen improvised eight minutes of dialogue in an Indian accent.
Cedric the Entertainer as Maurice, an aye-aye and King Julien's royal advisor (to whom Julien never listens).
Andy Richter as Mort, a Goodman's mouse lemur.
Tom McGrath as Skipper, the leader of the penguins. McGrath, who was also the film's co-director and co-writer, initially only lent his voice to the temporary tracks. Growing up with films starring tough actors like John Wayne, Charlton Heston, and Robert Stack, McGrath wanted Stack for the voice of Skipper. Stack was approached about voicing the character, but died two weeks before production on the animation began. After that, DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg decided to keep the temporary voice, with McGrath explaining: "People were used to me doing that voice. We knew it worked when we screened it." Many character's traits were based on Stack's work. McGrath especially emphasized The Untouchables, a 1959 television crime drama series starring Stack.
Chris Miller as Kowalski, a penguin and Skipper's right hand.
Miller also voices Timo, a tenrec who is only seen attending Julien's meeting.
Jeffrey Katzenberg as Rico, a smart and silent penguin who is only expressed through grunts and squeals. Mireille Soria, the film's producer, commented on Katzenberg's uncredited role: "The irony for us is that he's the one who doesn't talk. There's something very Dadaistic about that, isn't there?"
Katzenberg also voices Abner, a blue-eyed lemur who is only seen at the paradise scene.
Christopher Knights as Private, an eager, lowly penguin. Knights was also an assistant editor on the film.
Conrad Vernon as Mason, a chimpanzee (Phil, the other chimpanzee, is unvoiced).
Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath as the fossa
Darnell also voices Hector and Horst, two lemurs.
David P. Smith as Pancho, a crowned lemur.
Smith also voices Becca, a black lemur and a Spider.
Elisa Gabrielli as Nana, an elderly New Yorker.
Bob Saget as an unspecified off-screen zoo animal.
Jordan Todorsey as Willa, appears in Willa's Wild Life.
Jack Black as Po, a panda. He appears in Kung Fu Fighting.
