Honestly I find it pretty surprising that nobody really talks about the parallels between Alex and King Julien. They’re so similar yet so different. Both love dancing and music, were threatened by ‘evil uncle’ type rivals, grew up with found families instead of their biological ones, and even have the title King (though Alex’s is metaphorical). What mostly sets them apart is their connection with other animals. Despite being the most popular attraction at the zoo, Alex was treated as an equal by the other zoo animals and became more down-to-earth because of it. Julien, on the other hand, could never live or even completely comprehend a life that wasn’t above the rest of the lemurs. It’s such unexplored territory to see them interact one on one.
