This is a very fun short cartoon pilot done over 2005-2006 by Mike Kunkel and Scott Sava for Nickolodeon Studios. Though it never went as a series, and reverted back to its creators, it now is gaining a very strong fan following for the character Emperor. . . a little Napolionic penguin who lives in a Zoo and who views the world as if he is and should very naturally be in charge . . . even if everyone else seems to disagree.

ENJOY!
The lions voice is familiar but i can't think why

Beats the heck out of that Penguins of Madagascar show. The art style's cool! And is that Will Friedle voicing Emperor?

Hi all...and thanks for the kind words about Emperor.
It was actually very highly reviewed and tested at Nickelodeon. The pilot was very well recieved. But when they found out they had to make a Madagascar Penguins tv show (as part of a contract with Dreamworks)...Emperor got cancelled.
That's the breaks. but thank you all for watching.

Sorry for the double commenting, but I'm wondering why it never went on as a series. It has its potential and really tickled my funny bone. I also just realised that the lion's den looks exactly like the place in The Lion King!
