I've heard somewhere it's non-canon.
Is that true?

@12DAMDO I'm confused, are you saying that it is canon, or you are saying that it's not canon.
@EmmyAnimal I have no idea what you're talking about. But what I do know is, Penguins of Madagascar (in terms of canonicity) has the less continunity errors then All Hail King Julien (which has the most continuniy errors) and Madagascar A Little Wild (which as of today the show is still streaming on HULU and Peacock as the show is on it's 4th Season. So it does have several continunity errors but it also has less continunity errors ugh My Mind is So Confused!).
@Joshsonic1992 what i mean is that it is canon but the theory goes around that it isn't
I don't know what was unclear, but I'm sure everything can be explained friendly and constructively.
The crew themselves stated they weren't explicitely trying to make it consistent, and that kind of sounds like they weren't preocupied with whether it is canon or not- and that's the only context in which I mentioned consistency. This may be true for AHKJ and Wild to then. They also never confirmed if any of them are canon, and until they do, I think everyone is free to have their own theories.
The arguments I've seen contain more than this- they speak of exact dates, and the absence of characters that are supposed to be present at that time-and vice versa, but as I also said, I don't remember the exact arguments, so I don't know how I feel about them right now.
Penguins of Madagascar TV Series was confirmed to be canon, as the show makes it very clear on that as stated in episodes like the Baby Foosa Episode, and in the TV Movies The All Nighter Before Christmas and the 2nd Dr. Blowhole TV Movie. All Hail King Julien is in fact canonical, which the same goes to Madagascar A Little Wild (depending on whether the show does end up being more aligned with the films or not).
Regarding the continuity errors, Penguins of Madagascar the TV Show has the less continuity errors out of the 3 TV Shows. I found more evidence that it is in fact in the same universe as the films, then evidence that the TV Show was in it's own universe, and there was the fact that while in Penguins of Madagascar The Movie the end credits scene would lead into the events of the First Episode of Penguins of Madagascar The TV Show, that's only just a possible explanation or heck even a theory that could explain how Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, Private, Mason, and Phil came back to New York City (with King Julien, Maurice, and Mort entering the Zoo was shown in the intro to Penguins of Madagascar The TV Show being their reasoning how they came into the Central Park Zoo), and we never saw how they came there on screen.
Contrary to Popular Belief, All Hail King Julien surprisingly, have the most continuity errors then Penguins of Madagascar the TV Show. There's Alex the Lion's first reaction to Madagascar after his was opened, there was the fact that the Lemurs know what a toilet is, there was the fact that Maurice was King Julien's Cousin in the First 3 Madagascar Films but was retconned to be King Julien's Friend who was paid by his uncle to take care of him but was later retconned again, only this time it was retconned that Maurice was King Julien's Adopted Brother (other then his other Adopted Brother) who was apparently the Chosen One of the Aye Aye Kingdom. But those are just the notable examples, there are more continuity errors but these are just some notable examples like I previously stated.
As for Madagascar A Little Wild, since that show hasn't been cancelled or ended yet (as well as it's 4th Season being released on August 2nd or August 6th as I'm editing this.) so far, there isn't any more continuity errors yet, since the continuity errors we have so far, are Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman can go outside of the Zoo's Walls and thus head to any location in New York City by using the sewer system when they're kids, which would break continuity as they will still remember the events of the show and the Movies and Specials and the Standalone Nickelodeon Series as well as the Netflix Prequel Series wouldn't end with a recreation of a scene from the First Movie, never happened. And also continuity errors where the characters' younger personalities doesn't stay aligned with their adult personalties. But again, A Little Wild is still continuing (as I'm editing this), so we don't know if the show will follow the continuity as did the other prequel series, All Hail King Julien (which while it had continuity errors, for the most part, it stays consistent within the continuity of both the show and the films).
Interestingly enough, there's a debate about this on the Central Park Zoo Discord server too, and people there are mostly convinced that neither is canon, and have stated there was a confirmation. When I asked, one user said that there is a link on the TPoM Wikpedia page to the crew's staterment that it isn't canon. I haven't checked this myself, and I'm saying this for mere informational purposes, so that OP could look at that too as I feel it possibly answers their question, so I hope my participation in the discussion won't be taken as an attempt to argue or cause drama. I too would rather it wasn't true. However I again want everyone to be allowed to have their own beliefs about this, and I think this disagreement only shows what I said at the start- it's a topic about which no one agrees. The info I mentioned could be very reliable evidence if true, but I'd still have my own headcanon because I prefer to. Once again, I do hope this isn't taken or becomes a serious argument, as we've really had good faith towards each other by now.
For TPoM, From what I recall, there was a source which came from an obscure website where it states the show is not in the same universe as the films, however since TPoM makes it very clear that it is in fact, shares the same universe as the films (with episodes even addressing the show's events.), and since I found less evidence supporting the show being not canon, it's safe to say TPoM is actually canon.
As for AHJK, it's canon, but there were problems that was addressed that condridicts the first Madagascar Series, and anything related to the films.
And ALW hasn't ended or wasn't cancelled yet, and as I'm editing this, the continuity errors are there, it's just that ALW doesn't have alot of contiunity errors yet, as again, as I'm editing this, the show is still continuing,
Maybe, thank you for that info as well. It already casts a different light on this bit.
On one hand I feel like sharing it with those who gave me the initial info, but then I keep being the messanger between the two sides, I'd really come more in handy if they connected themselves lol. But if they don't, I always feel they'd be missing out on important info if I don't tell them, so I continue to...
...two types of replies, everyone :P
What do you think?
