* HumanlikeAnimalAging: Generally averted, with Hector acknowledged as one of the older lemurs and implied to be in his 20s, which is a decent age for a lemur that averages a 30 year lifespan. The notable exception of Mort is frequently remarked upon by other characters as being unusual when he drops hints that suggest his age could exceed even 50 years.

* MatryoshkaObject: Often when Julien is struck with inspiration, his crown pops open to reveal a visualization of this, often featuring one or more smaller copies of himself in the process. At one point this happens so that Julien can engage in inner monologue with himself, which leads to the tiny Julien in his crown coming up with an idea represented by ''his'' crown popping over to reveal another tiny Julien to express the idea.

[[spoiler:They complete each other and ultimately get married.]]

* ParentalAbandonment: The mortality rate for lemurs before the events of the series is said to be extremely high, so it's no surprise that very few characters seem to have any living parents at all. The only main character to have confirmed living parents is Julien, who abandoned him anyway to live a life of luxury.

* AmbiguousTimePeriod: Given that the films aren't quite sure if they are set in the 80s or the modern day, it's a given that there isn't any clear indication of when this show is set.
