Hey what's one (or two) character(s) from all hail king Julien that you would

1) absolutely jump at the opportunity to hang out with them if they asked you

And

2) would run for the hills if they asked you to hang out with them

Mine are

1) Willie and Rob McTodd

2) Tammy and Uncle King Julien

I absolutely adore Willie and I think he'd fun to hang out with and while I hate parties I'd definitely like to bake something with Rob.

Tammy gives me icky soccer mom vibes and I'd hit Uncle KJ with a baseball bat if he asked me. Nothing good comes from being near that man.

fun little thing I realized: in the phantom of club moist, Maurice refers to himself as "uncle Maurice" and the viewers as "kids"

HE IS TELLING THE STORY TO HIS NIECES/NEPHEWS... BC BROSALIND HAS KIDS (REVEALED IN SQUAD GOALS) AND YKNOW SHES HIS OLDER SISTER SO YEAH. HE IS BASICALLY SHARING SOME OF THAT UNCLE LORE...

Theme 3: Villains

Just like in previous years I made an edit with multiple villains! But this year I didn't do every single one I did these 6 who definitely feel like the most iconic to me

[jtheplante]

made a song for Madaparty 😭 what am I doing

[jtheplante]

Hector's gotta be at least a little older than "Uncle". I just assumed Doc Sugarfoot/KJ The Terrible was his father (King Julien's grandpa)

Thinking of uncle's childhood makes me crazy too bc there isn't any backstory but we probly know everything we need to know. people usually just act out to their children the things that were done to them as a child. going with the theme of family inheritance passed down to Julien, Uncle likely had his own "uncle" growing up

also crazy to think Uncle was alive maybe when Doc was overthrown and 'killed', which then could easily have shaped Uncle into becoming the scared ruthless murder king he ended up being.

(I have to rewatch the doc sugarfoot ep to remember the timeline but I think Hector knows and remembers when doc was overthrown. Assuming he and Uncle are near the same age that means Uncle could have been a kid when the royal family was attacked. A formative life event Perhaps)

Theme 7 Family

on tvtropes there is a trope called Found Family/Family of Choice

this trope in short is about two or more people who are not related to each other forming a family like a bond between them

this trope has a subtrope called Found Family via Work this trope is about people who have jobs together, work together/work for each other and form family bonds

this is the royal trio (quartet)

let's see in order

Maurice was hired by Uncle King Julien to take care of the then Prince Julien

however as time passed he and the Prince became closer to the point that they became family in fact in the first episode Maurice said

"Immediate family only, which means, well, me,"

this is a quote directly from the episode King Me

now Clover she started working for the previous king as his personal bodyguard and head of security and when young Julien became king she simply continued her work for him now

but over time Clover became friends with King Julien Maurice and Mort

Julien and Maurice accepted her into their circle and she became part of their family

even in the episode Dance, Dance, Resolution King Julien called Clover and Maurice his family

and I'm sure even Mort is part of their family as a weird distant cousin

and that's a beautiful theme in AHKJ it tells about the adventures of a family,

a family not by blood but by choice

While the Madagascar timeline can be a mess at times, it's so funny to me when they actually try to make the timeline make sense but it just comes completely out of left field. Like in MALW, the two chimps Pickles and Dave had been supporting characters throughout the whole series, but there had been no sign of Mason and Phil. How did they solve this problem, then? In the final episode, Pickles and Dave were put in a rocket and launched into space for 20 years. And in AHKJ, they spend the final four episodes just getting rid of all the villains and other supporting characters that weren't present in the original film (i.e. Karl moves to Florida, Uncle King Julien runs off with Zora, Clover marries Sage and moves to the other side of the island, etc.). Don't even get me started on the comics, because there is a whole lot of stuff going on in there.

Um…Doodle Julien showing off his uncle, who is wearing a salmon suit?

sure

For 2023MadagascarParty theme 7: Love

Logical brain: “Uncle King Julien x Zora makes no fucking sense! It’s just another stupid, lazy way of trying to justify the series being a prequel! And speaking of! Dare I say that it’s even worse then Clover x Sage because at least they had build up spanning multiple seasons! Piss poor build up but still, better then nothing! And if you have to make the series a prequel and you have to get rid of Zora and Uncle King Julien, there are better ways to do it! Zora should have just dumped Mort’s ass without needing another man to fall back on and Uncle King Julien should have been torn to pieces by the fossa or thrown into the volcano by the very lemurs that he once threw to said fossa or something! It’s not like other villains in the show haven’t been killed off before. Why not him!?”

Romantic brain: “Because then he and Zora couldn’t show that ‘ugly’ women can be loved for who they are no matter much how society says that they can’t and that it’s never too late to change for the better!”

Logical brain: “Bullshit! Writing brain, what are you thinking!? You know as well as I do that Uncle King Julien falling in love and giving up everything that he’s been trying to achieve for the entire series, since the very first episode, in the span of a single episode makes no god damn sense! Why didn’t you have Zora show up in The Sign and say that she dumped his ass!? Why do you keep indulging in this…this pea brained, bleeding heart, piece of horseshit ship!?”

Writing brain: “That is an excellent question! It’s true that Zora x Uncle King Julien came out of fucking nowhere and makes no god damn sense for either character, especially not Julien’s. I’m not gonna argue with you there. What I am going to do is make a case for how the pair makes sense in The Sign.”

“The contrast between them and Cla9e. With Uncle King Julien being the former villain who owns up to his mistakes. Who doesn’t fault people for hating him because he knows damn well that they have every right to after everything he’s done. Verses Sage the former hero who does everything he can to down play his mistakes. Who blames his reputation being in the crapper on ‘haters’ who rightly call him out on his crap. Including his own wife, Clover.”

“Who denied her feelings for him immediately after Exiled. Who seemed more excited to be a queen and have a big strong army and a bunch of cool weapons then being with the man she’s supposedly in love with. Verses Zora who, while she tried to hide her feelings initially, then proudly proclaimed her love for Uncle King Julien without caring who knew it. Who was happy at the thought of being a queen and living in a castle but then seemed perfectly content to live as a normal lemur with the man she loves.”

“How throughout The Sign, Sage and Clover’s relationship has taken and endangered lives while Uncle King Julien and Zora’s has created and saved lives. How much happier the latter couple are then the former. How this all eats away at Clover more and more as the story goes on.”

“For at this point in The Sign, Zora’s had more time to train Dr. S then Clover. It was Zora's idea to train Becca and Abner and it was her idea for the couple to make their own weapons. Which inspired the pair to make their battering ram. Which they used to save people before Clover’s very eyes. And that’s not even mentioning everybody else Zora has trained who possibly saved even more people offscreen. So arguably, Zora has done more to protect the lemurs of King Julien’s kingdom than Clover. The very lemurs who Clover, however unintentionally, left for dead to marry a man who couldn’t even be bothered to complete a sacred ceremony that Uncle King Julien could.”

"A ceremony that wasn’t sacred to the former king but was to Zora. A ceremony that’s supposed to be a promise that a groom makes to his bride to change his self centered ways for the better. A promise that Sage has broken time and again.”

“”This isn’t right!” Clover thinks to herself. Zora is the one who ran off with a guy she just met! Zora’s the one who wants to be a guy whose caused more misery for Clover and her friends and the entire kingdom then anyone can count! Zora should be miserable! Zora should be dismissed and criticized and patronized by her romantic partner! Uncle King Julien is the bad guy! Sage is the good guy! Sage is the one whose supposed to be loving and supportive and attentive and everything that Uncle King Julien is pretending to be!”

“Now do you see, logical brain!? It’s about the foils! It’s about the consequences of one’s actions! It’s about the misery! It’s about shattering characters psychologically into tiny pieces! Do ya feel me!?”

Logical brain: “…”

Romantic brain: “…”

Loves to torture my favorite characters brain: “…Yeah!!!”

So yeah, that’s my analysis/explanation for why I ship Uncle King Julien and Zora. Honestly, it was writing The Sign that made me enjoy this weird little ship so much. It just works so well for the story I want to tell, more then I ever could have imagined when I first decided to include them in it. So thank you to anyone whose read this whole rambling thing and happy Madagascarparty!

Cut line from Exiled (ep 9) where Uncle King Julien explains how he recognized Ted. It would almost be sweet that he remembered a detail like that from Julien’s childhood, if he hadn’t just tried to murder him. I wonder why it was cut from the final product.
