Is this the only instance of side characters getting their own that actually worked?

>>153032187*own show
>>153032187All Hail King Julien was better
>>153032187Yes.This is one of those franchises where the main cast are the least interesting part, and the makers knew that.
>>153032235Gloria's just Jada Pinkett Smith with a fat butt.
>>153032187>>153032235There's also the fact that unlike someone like Sheen, who only works as a comedic contrast to Jimmy, the Penguins can easily function when removed form the rest of the cast. Hell, even in the movies their subplots are mostly isolated from the main plot save the climax.
>>153032226It is funny how the second instance is different side characters from the same franchise.
>>153032187And they have their own movie.
>>153032420Oddly not as good.You can tell they're trying to adapt the show's energy into the movie continuity but it doesn't work quite as well on the movie actors.Especially since the movie penguins were all just voiced by dreamworks staff who didn't realize they'd just end up using those voices for the trilogy rather than the professional voice actors the TV show had.
>>153032420And it was so bad it almost killed Dreamworks
>>153032187DOGS LIKE CHEESE COWS LIKE MONKEYS
>>153032420The movie was weak
>>153032187YesIt's a shame king Julien's show flopped
>>153032187it's way better than those shitty movies>>153032420the standalone penguins movie wasn't as good as the show, mostly because they wanted the>I recognize this celebrityaudience, so they casted a bunch of famous people and made a new storyline continued from madagascar 3, unrelated to the show
>>153032187I liked the puss in boots show
>>153032187penguins are so cool
>>153035200These penguins in specific or penguins in general?
>>153032187idk, MAYBE??
>>153035227In general, but the Penguins of Madagascar are indeed in the higher tier of fictional penguins.
>>153033493They should've made an epic stylized movie like they did with Puss in Boots.
>>153037759Yeah, they should've.
>>153037759Madagascar's never coming back.
>>153038478>tfw watching Madagascar 4 and realizing why Marty and Gloria share zero interactions
>>153033497It flopped? It has five seasons plus one inbetween two major story arcs
>>153038512>Madagascar 4 ??
>>153038512They can very easily replace him with a zebra voiced by Kevin Hart and explain away Marty's absence from the film with him getting a near fatal slap-related injury that threw him into a coma.
>>153038647Also won 7 Emmys
>>153038647This is single-handedly the most Jewish piece of fiction I've ever seen even out doing Big Mouth.
>>153039245Fag
>>153039245Please explain how. I really, genuinely want to know how you reached this conclusion.
>>153039245>admits to watching Big Mouth
>>153039351I mean, anon probably took the gamble that it was a As Told By Ginger situation where it was a good show that just looked ugly.Apparently, that wasn't the case.
>>153039351Mad at gas cars
>>153032187Good charactersShit writingGood running jokesBad short-term jokesHilarious overall toneIt would have been better if they didn't shove the lemurs into EVERY little thing that happened.
>>153041053>Shit writingNo
>>153041069Alright, I'll keep an open mind. Give me some examples.
