If the franchise has always been incredibly successful with kids, how come it was never as popular with older audiences as much as Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, and How to Train Your Dragon? Madagascar tends to be considered mainly for kids and while there are teens and adults who liked it when it came out, it was generally 7 year old kids who enjoyed the films and feel nostalgic about them years later
>>144308614No substance. QED
>>144308614Is there a reason?
>never as popular with older audienceswell SOMETHING certainly was...
>>144308614Never really watched them
>>144308614That hippo
It's a shit movie that spawned even shittier sequels and some of the worst shows DW has ever put out. What more did you expect?
>>144311470P.S, The Wild mogs it in every single avenue.
>>144308614Trilogy ranking>MD 2 > MD 1 >>>>> Penguins of Madagascar spinoff > MD 3
>he doesn't like to move it move it
Because all the good characters are the side characters, which is why people would rather talk about the penguin and lemur shows. Or just coom to Gloria.
>>144308614It's popular with older audiences in Russia because it has an amazing russian dub.
>>144311623I think anything furry is going to be more popular in Russia, just look at HTF.
>>144311623do they like the hippo to
>>144311623Gee, it's almost like not having live-actors doing voices actually improves the voice acting.
>>144311643They like the male hippo song from the second movie Люблю бoльшихЛюблю пoпacтых
Madagascar 1 is pretty fun and likeable
>>144311689Not even Russia is safe from barrafags.
>>144311708If literally no other Chuck Jones-eque film existed, yes. However, we live in a world where The Emperor's New Groove exists.

>>144311709>implying Russia wasn't ground zero for barafags to begin with
>>144311775At the very least, I thought they were the world's last HTFfags.
I respect the first movie. It has a completely different animation style than the previous movies by the PDI division (Antz, Shrek and Shrek 2)
>>144311823It's just a shame that all the designs are an eyesore to look at.
