@samperry5383

I don't know who is better at singing or voicing as King Julien Danny Jacobs or Sach Baron Cohen?

@JHEntertainment98

They both are fantastic, but Jacobs has had more time with the character than Sacha has, Sacha only voiced him in the first 3 films while Jacobs has voiced him in everything else.
