Top 10 Floats and Balloons that Will Be Introduced in the 2017 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
The Grinch is a fictional character created by Dr. Seuss. He first appeared as the main character of the 1957 Christmas story How the Grinch Stole Christmas! In 1982, he appeared in a crossover with the Cat in the Hat, with the 25 minute episode 'The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat' and in 2018 will get another movie after the 2000 movie: 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas', with Jim Carrey playing the Grinch. In 2018, Benedict Cumberbatch has taken on the role and will play the character in 2018's 'The Grinch'. The second version of it, this time as a balloon.
Olaf the Snowman is a character from the 2013 animated film Frozen, produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. I wonder why they haven't done this already. Well, Olaf is appearing in a theatrical short soon so...
I think this will be cool to see.
A recreation of the 1946 The Baseball Player balloon, which itself is a redesigned version of Bobo the Hobo.
I don't know what to say for this one.
It is lower on the list because I am not looking forward to it. I've seen Super Wings before and I hated it. Jett was sooo annoying.
(I'm still salty that Sprout rebranded to Universal Kids)
Anyways, IIRC, I think Nina and Star from The Good Night Show from Sprout appeared at the parade once.
Shimmer and Shine is an American-Canadian animated children's television series created by Farnaz Esnaashari-Charmatz. It airs on Nickelodeon in the United States and on Treehouse in Canada. The series premiered on August 24, 2015. The show was based on an unreleased pilot from September 2013.
On February 11, 2016, it was announced that Shimmer and Shine was renewed for a second season that uses CGI animation. On June 21, 2016, Shimmer and Shine was renewed for a third season The float is on right now. Nickelodeon decided to use this as another cheap tactic to promote JoJo Siwa,ugh...
My most dreaded balloon. PAW Patrol getting its own balloon at the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade just goes to show how really overrated Paw Patrol is. I feel bad for saying this, but I hope the balloon pops. Not to mention that Nickelodeon is using this balloon to promote PETA. PETA sucks! Why would you want to promote it?!? Why can't Ready Jet Go get a balloon?!?
Don't listen to the idiot it awesome
Pikachu (Japanese: ピカチュウ) are a species of Pokémon, fictional creatures that appear in an assortment of video games, animated television shows and movies, trading card games, and comic books licensed by The Pokémon Company, a Japanese corporation. A mascot of the Pokemon franchise, it's considered to be the most iconic character of all Pokemon species, as well as a major character in Japanese pop culture, due to its companionship with Ash Ketchum in the anime series. Pikachu has been featured in movies such as Pokemon Detective Pikachu as well as music videos - most notably Katy Perry's "Electric" in 2021.
