Hippo and Giraffe’s Meeting Reminds the Internet of “Madagascar”

Hippo and Giraffe's Meeting

Are you a fan of animated movies and cartoon characters? If you answered yes, chances are you’ve seen Madagascar. Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath directed the computer-animated survival comedy film. The main characters of the novel are four animals: a lion and a zebra who are best friends, and a giraffe and a hippopotamus who are in love.

Now, a video depicting the union of a young hippo and a giraffe is reminding netizens of the film’s love tale of Melman and Gloria. The message reads, “Something to brighten your day,” and it was shared on Twitter by a user named Buitengebieden. The video was uploaded by a user named Joey Senior.

A newborn hippo approaches the cage containing baby giraffes in the viral video. One of them, oddly, cranes its neck toward the young hippo. They then rub their noses together and look to be best pals.

Since being shared, the video has received over 29,000 likes and 8.2 lakh views. More than 2,700 people have shared the message. Twitter users absolutely like how they engage with one another. They have flooded the post’s comment area with nice messages complimenting their friendship.

Relating them to Madagascar’s characters, one user simply wrote, “Gloria and Melman.”

“Oh, buitengebieden you sure do know how to brighten my day every day,” a second person said.

Another person commented on the post, saying, “It seems Madagascar (the movie) was based on a true story!”
