Why is Morris so loyal to King Julien when Julien sometimes treats him badly and/or like dirt?

Because Maurice is King Julien's right-hand man. His job is to serve him no matter what. =)

Maurice is nice and loyal. I dunno, they're friends!...I guess. :D

Maybe he owes King Julien's family something. Like looking after the spoiled lemur. Or he secretely hopes to take his place one day. Being friends with royals isn't such a bad idea, too.

He's got nothing better to do, poor guy. He needs to have a day off, *evil grin* or better yet...

Me: Sky Spirits, can you strike Julian with lightning so Maurice doesn't have to serve him anymore?

Sky Spirits: We'd like to, but we're not actually real.

Me: Oh. Hey Julian, the Sky Spirits are fakesies.

Julian: What? This can not be possibly happening. Maurice, sacrifce her to da volcano, so she can think about what she had said about da Sky Spirits.

Then the Penguins will come rescue me and Kowalski will invent a machine to turn me into a Penguin,,so I can live with them forever.

End.

Me: Maurice, I tried to get the "Sky Spirits" to strike Julian with lightning so you wouldn't have to serve him anymore.

Maurice: Oh well, it's the thought that counts.

Random script I did there. Feel free to ignore it.

Maurice is too loyal, in my opinion. If Julian can shake his booty and be active when he's dancing, why can't he do it when it comes to his every, illodgical need? I would probably put Julian higher up on my 'favs list' if we was a little more grateful and kinder.

Then again, it's part of the show and I wouldn't change it for anything. (except for Kowalski to invent a machine that can turn me into a penguin, so I can live with them forever)

Watch the Netflix series "All Hail King Julien". Its a prequal series which delves deeper into and explains this topic and it is seriously amazing to watch even on its own.
