What is the name of the lemur group’s leader in the 2005 film Madagascar?

The lemur group’s leader in the 2005 film Madagascar is King Julien.

King Julien XIII is a ring-tailed lemur who rules the lemurs encountered by Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria after they arrive on Madagascar. He is flamboyant, self-confident, and fascinated by dancing, while his adviser Maurice often provides a more practical perspective.

The character became one of the franchise’s most recognizable figures after his repeated use of the song “I Like to Move It.” Sacha Baron Cohen voices King Julien in the theatrical Madagascar films.

King Julien is sometimes confused with Maurice or Mort because all three are members of the lemur community. Maurice is the adviser, Mort is a small mouse lemur, and King Julien is the monarch.
