I think that @candyfordinner Teddy made a very good point in this post. What is wrong with Madagascar? King Julien the second has the answer.
The issue with me getting obsessed with a show and watching it over and over again is that I start to over-analyze. Hereās something thatās
I also think that there is something wrong with the Madagascar in our beloved show and the movies. In our reality, there are people living there along with their domestic animals, especially zebu. It's said that every family owns atleast one zebu. It's a cow that came from India.
At first I thought, it's a kids show, the lemurs are the people of Madagascar. Then I started thinking deeply. There are people in the series! Like Teddy said the scientists who kidnapped Mort a number of times, the French people who eat snails, (yes! Because they know people won't come for them in Madagascar, they migrated there), when the mango monster heads to the mainland, Timo makes a call and a human sends a missile destroying it and the Russians! It's as if they 'are' people. They acknowledge the fact that people live in the mainland and the dolphins sell stuff to the Russians.
I did some research and my theory is that,( in AHKJ,) people used to live in Madagascar. The people of Madagascar were stricken by poverty and they had to eat the most abundant species of animals in Madagascar, the lemurs. They also considered the Aye aye as a bad omen and killed it on the spot. This much is true for the real Madagascar. Now in the series, due to these reasons, the lemurs became endangered and they had to protect themselves from the humans. They wiped out the humans in Madagascar with the help of foosas and other powerful animals. As we see in the series, foosas and crocodiles help king julien sometimes. When did it happen? According to my calculations, during the reign of King Julien the second. We know that he married a royal cow. I always thought. Why a cow? Do cows live in Madagascar? Throughout the series, we haven't seen a single cow except the one that appears in the Book of Julien kings.
This is an image of the zebu cow in Madagascar. There were no cows in Madagascar before and zebu was imported to Madagascar from India. They were mixed with African zebus to form new breeds and hence, if cow wasn't mentioned in all hail king Julien, we could say that humans never lived there but king julien second proves that there had been humans. He ate his wife, the cow. It symbolises the lemurs victory over human civilization. The cow is a symbol of Power to people of Madagascar and king julien crushed that power. See, zebu is even in their coat of arms. This even strangely remind me of King Julien's crown, which could be a distortion of the coat of arms, symbolising the lemurs victory over the humans.
King Julien the second's action is not a small thing, if you think about the people of Madagascar. Cow is a sacred animal to them and it is that animal we see getting eaten in All hail king Julien. It could have been included to show how much the lemurs hate humans for what they had done to them but the new generation doesn't know any of this. If king Julien really wanted good milk he would have kept his wife alive but he ate her and drank gecko milk, which caused an allergy and grandma rose killed him
From then on, no human dared to live in Madagascar and the snails might have migrated there according to Jingle-Jangle's prophecy that Maurice will save them. Jingle Jangle must have heard how bravely the Aye ayes fought for justice. Finally, animals destroying humans is not something we haven't seen in all hail king Julien. Remember the monkeys. They did it.
Very good point. Very interesting.
