King Julien

King Julien the 13th is the king of lemurs and is the party animal of the Madagascar gang

## appearance

King Julien is a black, white, and grey ring-tailed lemur. He is unique in the Madagascar films as he is much different than the bunch of ring tailed lemurs in his kingdom because his ears are much pointed, much pointed and thin snout, a slim body, a slim face unlike the others with broad faces and possess an excellent blend of colors.

However in All Hail King Julien, there are only four such ring tailed lemurs and not seen as an abundant species like in the films: his uncle, Magic Steve, his mother and himself, where Magic Steve is his exact copy (clone) where his friends too are fooled by Steve. However, Steve was swallowed by the Crocodile Ambassador in Body Double.

King Julien is usually is seen wearing different crowns. His crowns are:

1. The green and yellow (and with a hint of orange) crown from AHKJ and Madagascar 01, the crown he bears the most time of his reign in Madagascar, which he got in the beginning of his reign in King Me. (which he gets back in the fourth film:- Penguins of Madagascar: The Movie and in the Penguins Of Madagascar TV Series)
2. Orange and green leaf crown with gecko Stevie from the last scene of Madagascar 01 and beginning of Madagascar 02
3. White and red cloth head wear with a box (more like a sultan of Arabian countries) depicted from the middle parts of Madagascar 02 and Madly Madagascar.
4. The purple feathered crown from Madagascar 02 and 03.

### ***King Julien's overall personality***

King Julien is the ultimate party animal and is continuously full of himself. This spoiled king likes to order everyone around and he would be completely intolerable if not for his insistence that everyone has fun! King Julien's towering ego more than makes up for his pint-sized body. He's quick with an insult but even quicker with a smile, so it's hard for anyone to take this lemur too seriously. King Julien very much speaks his mind; even it might be rude or mean he gives his honest opinion. He is the most eccentric and colorful character. Sometimes he likes giving others advice (Madagascar 2, Hello, Dollface, Operation: Antarctica), as he believes he has an answer for everything. He also seems to be very inappropriate for Private, depicting that he is only 9 in the series. As Melman said, that he spotted 27 health laws being broken at the party beneath the Central Baobab Tree.

### King Julien's personality in All Hail King Julien

In All Hail King Julien, he is portrayed as easily excitable and eccentric, with fantastical and often outlandish ideas. He's easily distracted, and often becomes wholly consumed by an idea or notion. He is also shown to be very self-centered and never takes the blame for his actions. He always blames someone for his fault, mostly Mort or Maurice. However in All Hail King Julien, in The End is Here, he blames himself and takes the responsibility of his fault for forgetting where he buried Sage, though he first blamed Maurice. Such other moments could be seen throughout the episodes which compiled to portray the War of the Beasts

As the show progresses, he steadily becomes less self centered. While in Season 1 his concerns were more geared towards his peoples' perception of him (as seen in Poll Position and The Really Really Big Lie), but when the series progresses, he's shown to care more about the happiness and safety of his people than himself.

While he still has moments of selfishness and is portrayed as a self-obsessed character, he still proves to be selfless and self sacrificing when it really counts, which crafts King Julien to a great and memorable king of the Kingdom of Madagascar with a great legacy. The character of Julien in All Hail King Julien is much selfless and less autocratic The Lemurs (AHKJ)|(probably due to the advice he got from his royal entourage), than in The Penguins of Madagascar and the movies released. At moments, he becomes extremely selfless and caring, only in All Hail King Julien, to ensure that his people are happy and and his friends safe, no matter how eccentric and weird his ideas and plans are.

A common thread for his outlandish ideas involve finding some new way to keep his people happy. While Uncle King Julien ruled the kingdom with fear, King Julien encourages his people to have as much fun as they can, because who knows if there will be a tomorrow. His schemes and ideas revolve around improving their quality of life, from introducing coffee so they can get their jobs done faster, to creating 'fast food' so his people have more time for fun. He introduces trampolines, water slides, and regular dance parties to the kingdom as enrichment and as a means to distract them from the constant fear of being eaten.

While many of his kingly duties seem to bore him, such as paperwork and the like, he loves having the role of king. On numerous occasions he seems to go above and beyond in his role as king to support his people, from attending their weddings to handing out prizes at graduation ceremonies. He takes a very proactive role in the lives of his people, and he is seen to learn many of their names as the show progresses.

His friendship with Maurice and Clover also proves invaluable for bringing out positive lessons for him, and opportunities to prove himself to be a good friend and King. On many occasions when he's too self focused or proving to be selfish, Maurice and Clover will help to show him how his actions affect others, steering him towards making the right decisions. In the end, he proves that at heart he cares more about the happiness of others than his own ego, and finds happiness in the joy of others.
