Why do the penguins look better in the series while the lemurs look worse?

Penguins are better then lemurs, That's the answer, accept it!

I can't explain the eyes, but I do know that the penguins' general shapes were all somewhat altered in order to make each one look unique. In other words, some confused the penguins in the "Madagascar" films; their "makeover" for TV was to ensure each 企鹅 had their own look.

For further details, here is an in-depth 文章 about the show's early development: link

As for the lemurs, Nickelodeon-DreamWorks did not have the time 或者 funds to do 毛皮 in the series (which is also mentioned in the above article).

If 你 look closely at the penguins in the movies, you'll notice they have 更多 detail then they do in the 电视 show. The difference is obvious with the lemurs, though.

The lemurs have fur. In the show, they are made less furry. Maybe it had something to do with the techonology they had for it that they had in the movie and not for the show?

The penguins are the main characters. But I think the lemurs look better in the show. Though, Mort is cute being so fluffy. AWW.

Yes in the 电影院 they look 更多 similar to each other, but they definitely had 更多 detail in the movies. Like others have said, the 显示 was animated differently than the 电影院 and as a result the characters in the 显示 look 更多 flat than they do in the movies. Just like with the lemurs, 你 can see the penguins' feathers if 你 look closely whereas in the series it looks like paint:

Well, the appearance of the penguins has been altered for the series to make each one look 更多 unique (I know that's already been said, but it's true, so I'm saying it again, anyway XD). Their faces seem to match their personalities a lot more, probably because their personalities are far 更多 developed in the series than in the films. Because they are no longer side-characters, they've been, shall we say, upgraded. However, while the character designs have been improved for the series, the 动画片 itself is less realistic. They haven't gone into as much detail on the feathers, probably because they spend less money on the series than on the films (that's what I'm assuming, anyway).

The same thing has happened to the lemurs; their character designs have changed (their faces are very different to how they are in the films), but the quality of their 动画片 has gone downhill. This is much 更多 noticeable when it comes to the lemurs, because of all their 毛皮 and their big eyes.

Hmm... I get the feeling this is going to be one of those 答案 I give that doesn't make ANY sense when I read it again the 下一个 day. XD
