This show is really cute and the fab 4 are still getting into mischief. It's great for toddlers/little kids - songs, colors, humor - it's all around a great show.
Mere words cannot describe how flawless Madagascar: A Little Wild is. In just six episodes, the show manages to pack a deep, compelling story arc with character development for every single character on the show, even the background characters.
I have a very active 5 year old and very few cartoon animations catch her attention. However, this one truly does!
Far be it from me to drag down what might be a perfect show for little kids. However I was expecting at least the personalities of characters from the original movie to be in place:Alex The Lion: friendly and constantly suppresses his predator instincts Gloria The Hippo: Opinionated and empowered Melman The Giraffe: Hypochondriac extreme, sick all the time Marty The Zeba: Carefee and often careless, clumsy, friends with AlexAdd to this a no show of popular characters that were in the movie:King Julien The Lemur: Smug and vain ruler, loves to move it move it Mort: King Julien's lackey, completely ingratiating, quite brave actuallyTop Secret Penguins: Kowalski,Skipper, Private, and Rico.
I loved all the Madagascar movies and their holiday specials. But I never pictured the Penguins or King Julian get their own show.
