"Madagascar" became a TV series. This doesn't surprise me...this is the youTube fodder of tomorrow's nostalgia-addicted ADD generation.

Hopefully it's better than the Penguins of Madagascar. Kung Fu Panda itself was better than Madagascar, so I think it will be.

No Jackie Chan, no sale.

No Jackie Chan, no sale.

This is my general outlook on life.

It makes for very awkward conversations with telemarketers, I can tell you that.

[Jester]

See, that's just it. Who are they gonna cast? Because I'm sure they aren't gonna get any of the actors from movie. Then again some of the best voice actors could probably do decent sound alikes.

I really enjoyed Kung Fu Panda and think there is a series in there. I just hope they don't ruin it in the process.

I'm sure James Sie will voice Monkey and I'm sure everyone else will be replaced with the actors used in "Secrets of the Furious Five". Not sure about the actors who are in both, but you get the point.

I think Kung Fu Panda was a better movie but I enjoyed Madagascar mostly for a few characters like the Lemur King and the Penguins. (I really liked the Christmas short too)
I would give it a chance but I was pretty disappointed with the Penguins cartoon and it was centered around those characters I really liked. I also think there are limitations to the show as far as plot. I am not sure how long lived either series can be.
The 3D quality of the show bugs me too even though I know not to expect movie quality on TV. I almost wish they would have tried hand drawn for it. I guess I am just biased.

Animated movies turning into TV series never goes well, so I don't expect much from this.

Aladdin, Osmosis Jones, Lilo & Stitch, Madagascar, etc. All of them started off as good movies, but the TV shows based on them sucked royally. In the case of the two Disney movies I mentioned, they also received sucky sequels.

I really liked Kung Fu Panda, I think this has a lot of potential. I'll be looking forward to it.

What about Star Wars: The Clone Wars? Wait... that's the other way around.

Shut the hell up. Clone Wars is a great Star Wars show. People who talk sh*t about it haven't even watched it, or aren't Star Wars fans and have no business watching it either.

[The Stryker]

But I hate that show.

No no I was saying the clone wars movie sucked and the show is awesome. the original trilogy are the best ones and part 3. i didnt really like 1 & 2 though.

[Peanut]

The "movie" was just several episodes of the show strung together. People went into it expecting the wrong thing. It probably wasn't smart of them to release it as a movie, but when you look at it from the perspective of being a pilot for a TV show, it was good.

"Clone Wars" is the only show on CN right now that I can actually stand watching...I like it.
