In the cartoon Madagascar, King Julian is the self-proclaimed leader of the lemurs. Managing a large colony, he uses his charisma and loves to tell others what they should do. However, he looks more intelligent and judicious compared to other lemurs (except Maurice). This is especially noticeable when everyone, with the exception of Julian, panic at one word.
King Julian quite often throws parties for his people in Madagascar, and behaves like a child.
Hero and plot
When Alex and his friends arrived in Madagascar, Julian and his subjects enjoyed one of their parties. Their appearance scared the foss, and the lemurs saw this, hiding in the trees. After this, King Julian held a meeting of lemurs and other jungle creatures and stated that if they could make friends with Alex and his friends, the Foss would stop threatening them. Maurice was skeptical of this plan, but Julian insisted. It became obvious that this was not a good idea when Alex began to get out of control and tried to kill lemurs (because he needed meat). Despite the fact that the situation ended well, and the Fosses really stopped threatening the lemurs, it became obvious that Maurice was right.
Madagascar 2 - continuation of the story
In the second part of the cartoon, the Lemur king Julian (along with Maurice and Mort) decided to accompany Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman to New York on a plane “repaired” by penguins. When the plane crashes in Africa, Julian lands with a parachute, but at the same time loses his crown.
Arriving in Africa, the king first believes that they are in New York, and makes himself a new crown. He manages to gain some power, but very few characters pay attention to him. First, he gains the confidence of a flock of flamingos, and then begins to command ostriches, and finally, he tries to impress the elephant. Later, when the watering hole dries, King Julian invites the animals to sacrifice to the "water gods" on the volcano. To convince the masses, he depicts a conversation with the Divine and convinces Melman to voluntarily sacrifice himself, since he believed that he would die soon in any case. But when Melman realized that he would live, he refused to be a victim, breaking Julian’s plans.
However, a shark falls into the volcano, from which Marty tried to escape, and everyone saw the water returning to its former places when King Julian leaves the volcano. In fact, this was due to the fact that Alex and Tooth destroyed the dam, built by tourists, but the king of lemurs remained convinced that the Water Gods love seafood more.
Madagascar 3: Adventures Again
In the third part, Julian also appears regularly, and behaves quite annoyingly. He continued his journey with four animals from New York with only one goal - to expand the boundaries of his kingdom. In fact, only Marty and Maurice sincerely believe in his abilities and respect him as a leader, the rest simply allow him to constantly proclaim his own decrees. However, the plot of the cartoon shows that it can be a completely reliable ally, as it often saves various characters.
