True I'm shocked that Nintendo has never had Mario as a balloon in the parade, I guess they thought Pikachu is enough of a representative, but still Mario should be in too.
I would've thought with the movie coming out, there would be a Mario balloon. There's still a chance for the sequel. Keep in mind, Shrek didn't get a balloon until Shrek 3. So there's still hope.
@@pikachu0Z the Pikachu one was mostly the pokemon company’s decision, even though they seem more strict legally, they’re more opening to licensing, notice how there are Pokémon funko pops but no general nintendo ones
Thanks for the information of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. I love watching the parade since I was young. The 1980s were the best of my favorite decade. Take care and Happy Thanksgiving, man. 🦃🍽
Fun Fact: The accident that Barney’s Balloon had became a viral video. I guess you can say that Barney’s balloon didn’t have a super dee duper time at the 1997 Macy’s Parade.
My favorite balloon is Garfield (2nd version). But that's just because Garfield is my favorite character. But I also really like balloons that are very unique. Garfield is pretty standard. But there are some really cool ones, such as: Rugrats, which has 3 characters. Buzz Lightyear has a clear helmet over his head, which is cool. Spongebob Squarepants is really cool because it's a square balloon, and how they did it is very cool. If you look at the anatomy of the Spongebob balloon, they actually have strings inside to keep the tension, so he stays square.
Yeah. Most of them have exploded, lost arms, and had their heads punctured. If you didn't know that wiki page was about balloons, it would be extremely violent.
I wish They got DreamWorks characters like Shrek, Zhen, Death, Puss in Boots, Mr. Wolf, Diane Foxington, Roz, Dog Man, Ruby Gilman, Cleasha, Mr. Snake, Ms. Tarantula, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark, Misty Luggins, and Tiffany Fluffit.
Very nicely done video, I found this rather comforting with your voice and all, but that's also partly because I find the Macy's Parade in general comforting as well. I love seeing the balloons and their designs become more sophisticated with each passing decade in the timeline. This has been a very enjoyable journey! Can't wait to see next year's parade.
The 80’s seemed like the best years for the parade. They got some great editions that decade that would last a long time. But that transition into the 2,000s was God tier. Amazing and informative video! Fritz the cat cause issues also got a laugh out of me
Thanks for taking the time to research this and finding all those pictures. I find it surprising how Winnie the Pooh has yet to have a balloon, Minnie Mouse wasn't introduced as a balloon until this year and especially that Tom and Jerry were never featured in the parade until a float in 2020 and still doesn't have a balloon yet as iconic as those characters are. Lastly I'm curious as to why there weren't many new balloons in the 1970s
My List of Giant Character Balloons I Wanted for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade: - Batman (DC Comics) - Wonder Woman (also DC Comics) - The PowerPuff Girls Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup (Cartoon Network) - Courage the Cowardly Dog (Cartoon Network) - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Rankin-Bass and Universal Classics) - Frosty the Snowman (Rankin-Bass and Universal Classics) - Spyro the Dragon (Insomniac Games or Activision) - Crash Bandicoot (Naughty Dog Games) - Donkey Kong (Nintendo) - Mario Kart Mario (Nintendo) - LEGO Batman (LEGO, Warner Bros., and DC Comics) - LEGO STAR WARS R2-D2 (LEGO, Lucasfilm, and Travelers Tales) - LEGO Jurassic World Velociraptor Blue (LEGO, Universal, and Amblin) - LEGO Jurassic World T-Rex (LEGO, Universal, and Amblin) - The Loud House Lincoln Loud (Nickelodeon)
My all-time favorite balloons were the two of Sonic the Hedgehog. Despite the first one popping one year, I still remember just how excited I was to see it on TV when I was a little kid in the 90’s. That excitement followed me to the 2010’s when the new Sonic made its debut! I really hope to see another Sonic balloon in the future!
I loved Barney, Big bird, super Grover, dragon tales, Thomas the tank engine, Clifford the big red dog, SpongeBob, chicken little and shrek when I was little boy and still love them.
One of my favorite things is when the ballon is referenced on the show/movie of whatever character it is. I'm sure there's a bunch of examples. But the ones I can recall are the Superman balloon being referenced and shown in a comic book. The Arthur Read balloon being referenced and shown in the movie Arthur's Perfect Christmas. And most recently, the original Garfield balloon was referenced and shown in the 2024 Garfield movie.
I'm a sucker for history, especially when it comes to the Macy's Parade. Definitely interested if you make more videos, I loved this - super cool and nostalgic. Thank you for the awesome video (Although some of those early balloons are nightmare fuel 😅)

This is a incredible amount of work. Amazing. I'm left wondering what type of licensing goes on that Garfield and Sonic get balloons in such a short amount of time but Bugs Bunny is famous for 50 years before he's introduced. And doesn't get enough appearances.
Another Fun Fact: Thomas’s UA-cam Channel made a short 3D animation about the blue tank engine himself transforming into a balloon and heading to New York for the 2014 Macy’s parade.
Oh man, for years I wanted a Looney Tunes and Animanicas styled float, it would be nice when the show was still bigger in the 90's along with Looney Tunes.
This video is just about the balloons. The Wizard of Oz related materials has made tons of appearances in the parade. Floats, Broadway shows, etc. Wicked performed in 2003.
I'm surprised anyone went to the parade in 2001 with the attacks happening 2 months before the parade, I would assum that people would want to stay clear of New York.
Nice I'm impressed however something to mention Rexy ran into a stoplight ripping at the mouth and Kermit tore at the stomach one year you also forgot to mention that Popeye had a design flaw in 1957 causing water to pool inside getting spectators wet
Since the parade's return from wartime hiatus in 1945, there are fourteen balloons which were "One-edition Wonders", and some could still be in the parade studio in storage to this day.
Excellent. I love the ones from 1939 to 1941 annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades the most for being a centerpiece of an early 40’s traditional classic.
The Extra Character Balloons I Wanted for the 2018 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade: - The PowerPuff Girls Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup - Spyro the Dragon - The Loud House Lincoln Loud
There's just two more parades left after this year's parade ends, and I predict which characters could have new giant balloons alongside their sponsors for each of them, and I quote: 2025: Super Mario (Nintendo) Harry Potter (HBO and Max) SpongeBob SquarePants Version 4 (Nickelodeon) Kermit the Frog Version 3 (The Walt Disney Company) 2026: Pilgrim Snoopy (Peanuts Worldwide) Winnie-the-Pooh (The Walt Disney Company) Link (Nintendo) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (DreamWorks Classics) Unquote.
@@kennethjames763 Don’t forget these: - How to Train Your Dragon Toothless (DreamWorks Animation; returning to celebrate the opening of Universal Epic Universe and its How to Train Your Dragon Isle of Berk, the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon, and the 15th Anniversary of How to Train Your Dragon) - Funko POP!

That's awesome! It's amazing to me how many people are involved in putting the parade together. I hope you have a fun time tomorrow. I heard it's supposed to be pretty wet.
Characters featured in the most parades - Snoopy has been in 43 parades - Ronald McDonald has been in 31 - Rocky and Bullwinkle in 26 - Pikachu in 24 - Sinclair’s Dino in 24 Longest Running Balloons - Happy Dragon - 23 Parades - Bullwinkle - 23 Parades - Linus the Lionhearted - 21 Parades - Underdog - 20 Parades - Smokey Bear (1st Version) - 17 Parades
Did they really have the elf riding the fox balloon at the parade this year. I watched the whole live stream and did not see it. I don’t think I saw Minnie either?
For some reason the Scrat balloon from Ice Age is way up there. I really like the new Spider-Man as well. Goofy is also great. The gnome has a classic feel too that I just love. There are a few, what are your favorites?
What really annoyed me, and it still does annoy me, is that the announcers at the parade, CAN'T EVEN SAY THE WORD SAIYAN RIGHT when announcing the Goku balloon. Do these announcers even watch anime at all? I mean, COME ON. If you're going have a famous japanese anime character in the parade, learn how to say Saiyan the right way. Also, missed opportunity by the Thanksgiving Day parade to not promote the upcoming Sonic 3 movie
First off: thats a strange thing to be upset about, given the problems in the world. And second: That's not the announcer's fault. They have a table read, and rehearse the script the day before the parade. That would be the time that the people in charge would correct them, and tell them the correct way to pronounce it. But obviously they were never corrected. So your frustration is pointed towards the wrong person. How are they supposed to know they're saying it wrong if nobody tells them?
@matthewweatherford6566 How many years has that Goku balloon been in the parade? They've had PLENTY OF TIME to learn the pronunciation of the word and they STILL HAVEN'T LEARNED to say it correctly in 2024 cause they said it wrong in this year's parade
My favorite balloons are Barney Arthur papa Smurf rugrats Thomas Garfield sonic dora shrek snoopy Beethoven spider man goku red from angry birds Mickey Mouse blue from blue’s clues big bird scooby doo bart Simpon and SpongeBob SquarePants and so much balloon that I love but not trolls Dora 2024 version and paw patrol because it sucks
I wish Nintendo would have a heart and let there be a Mario balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade someday.

Wouldn't it be awsome to see Winnie the Pooh, Figment, Skye from Paw Patrol, and Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer as giant parade Balloons?
That would be fun! Frosty the Snowman should join in the fun!
I would like to see Pingu, Gumball Watterson and Perry the Platypus in the parade.

Yesss that would be so cute!!

@@joeyshortcake1423 me too bro I love Thomas when I was a kid watching him on PBS Kids.
Don't forget the Barney balloon that's the most iconic Macy's balloon mishap ever
They better in 2028 get the orginal or reproduce the very first balloons.
What a fun, fascinating history! I've been waiting for someone to do this!
NASCAR and Macy's balloons had one thing in common;
Goodyear rubber
I wish They got DreamWorks characters like Shrek, Zhen, Death, Puss in Boots, Mr. Wolf, Diane Foxington, Roz, Dog Man, Ruby Gilman, Cleasha, Mr. Snake, Ms. Tarantula, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark, Misty Luggins, and Tiffany Fluffit.
Shrek has been a balloon.

I feel like after ‘97 you see less tall balloons and more long and low balloons
I want a return of Old Man Pumpkin. Have him follow Snoopy, and have the handlers dressed as Linus Van Pelt.
Skye from Paw Patrol would be appropriate for a balloon in the sky. Skye in the sky.
more videos for floats would be fun also for hosts and Rose Bowl or Mummers performances would also be fun
32:48 Greatest balloon of all time
Wish there was Crash from CTR🎉
It’s sad that they didn’t add halo master chief or Marcus from gears of war holding the cog flag
Those would be some pretty intense Thanksgiving balloons. Though I agree, giant Master Chief would be awesome.
Another Fun Fact: Thomas’s UA-cam Channel made a short 3D animation about the blue tank engine himself transforming into a balloon and heading to New York for the 2014 Macy’s parade.

Underdog wasn't obscure when he appeared in the parade.

1989 is also the year Mel Blanc died.

You left out Virginia from Yes, Virginia.
Virginia is a novelty balloon, not a giant balloon.

22:48 🎈💥. 🥴😴
32:09 I know what u mean
What really annoyed me, and it still does annoy me, is that the announcers at the parade, CAN'T EVEN SAY THE WORD SAIYAN RIGHT when announcing the Goku balloon. Do these announcers even watch anime at all? I mean, COME ON. If you're going have a famous japanese anime character in the parade, learn how to say Saiyan the right way.
Also, missed opportunity by the Thanksgiving Day parade to not promote the upcoming Sonic 3 movie
No offense, but I find that a little funny. Imagine what would happen if Bill and Ted were hosting the parade. Either way, we all make mistakes.
Dude expecting announcer’s to know about anime is like expecting an Otaku to know about sports and fitness
Anime sucks and is for 5 year olds.
First off: thats a strange thing to be upset about, given the problems in the world. And second: That's not the announcer's fault. They have a table read, and rehearse the script the day before the parade. That would be the time that the people in charge would correct them, and tell them the correct way to pronounce it. But obviously they were never corrected. So your frustration is pointed towards the wrong person. How are they supposed to know they're saying it wrong if nobody tells them?
@matthewweatherford6566 How many years has that Goku balloon been in the parade? They've had PLENTY OF TIME to learn the pronunciation of the word and they STILL HAVEN'T LEARNED to say it correctly in 2024 cause they said it wrong in this year's parade
My favorite balloons are Barney Arthur papa Smurf rugrats Thomas Garfield sonic dora shrek snoopy Beethoven spider man goku red from angry birds Mickey Mouse blue from blue’s clues big bird scooby doo bart Simpon and SpongeBob SquarePants and so much balloon that I love but not trolls Dora 2024 version and paw patrol because it sucks
