Gloria is the tetartagonist of the Madagascar franchise. She is a hippopotamus who formerly resided in the Central Park Zoo in New York.
Madagascar: A Little Wild
Gloria appears as a calf in Madagascar: A Little Wild along with Alex, Marty, and Melman, also appearing as young animals.
Madagascar
During Marty's birthday, Gloria was another animal residing in the Central Park Zoo and she was one of the many attractions, drawing crowds that enjoyed seeing her swim about in her water tank. She would also receive the star treatment as one of the zoo's main attractions and attend Marty’s birthday party. At the party, Marty announced his wish upon blowing out the candles on his cake: to go to the wild. Gloria, Alex and Melman tried to have Marty come to his senses by telling him that life out in the wilds was savage and difficult, whereas life in the zoos was adequate. Marty was unhappy at hearing this and Gloria told Alex to go and console Marty. Later that night, however, Marty acted out his wish and headed straight for the Terminal Station so as to take a train and go to Connecticut, where Marty heard that wide-open spaces were found. Gloria urged both Alex and Melman to come with her so as to find Marty and bring him back before any people would notice. They were found, regardless, alongside Mason and Phil, the two chimps, and a troupe of secretive penguins, all ending up tranquilized with darts. When they all woke, they found themselves in crates bound for Africa. When the penguins hijack the ship, the crates fall into the ocean and wash up on the island of Madagascar. After some confusion, they start to set up their own society and attract the attention of a lemur colony.
Merry Madagascar
Gloria is happy to help her friends save Christmas, and shows her usual amount of enthusiasm throughout the special, even when helping Melman out of various situations. It is also shown (perhaps guessed) that she loves children, as when the girl named Abby hugs her friends, and then her, Gloria hugs her back.
Like every hippo in the franchise, Gloria is fat, her skin is grey, but her belly, face and ears are a little lighter than the rest of her body. Even as hippos go, Gloria is made apparent to be heavier than other female hippos. Infamously known in the second movie are Moto Moto's remarks at Gloria's «plumpiness», «chunkiness» etc. Gloria's upper bo...
Alex
Alex and Gloria share a strong bond and friendship, with Gloria often assuming a role akin to that of an older sister to Alex. Notably, her imposing size sometimes causes trepidation among the other Zoosters, yet she demonstrates a firm yet caring demeanor. For instance, she intervened when Alex needed encouragement to converse with Marty, emphasizing the importance of their friendship. Additionally, Gloria displayed a pragmatic approach when she urged Melman to depart from the Zoo in search of Marty, highlighting her role as a mediator amid the group's conflicts. Despite the challenges they faced, Gloria remained steadfast, refusing to abandon Alex even after they narrowly escaped his predatory instincts. Similarly, she prioritized Marty's safety, recognizing the continued threat Alex posed to their group dynamic. Gloria's level-headedness and loyalty contribute significantly to the dynamics within the Zoosters' circle, portraying her as a stabilizing force amidst their trials and tribulations.
