What happens

Madagascar: A Little Wild (also known as A Little Wild) is an American animated television series produced by DreamWorks Animation Television and animated by Mainframe Studios. The series, which is a prequel to the 2005 film, features Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo, and Melman the Giraffe residing in a rescue habitat at the Central Park Zoo as children. The series premiered on Hulu and Peacock on September 7, 2020. Unlike The Penguins of Madagascar and All Hail King Julien, the series features all four zoo animals (here called the Zoosters) in main roles (both prior series had only Alex appear in guest roles), and does not feature an appearance in any form from either the Penguins, the Lemurs, or the Chimps.
