So, the Legos float appears to be #MechaTurkey. #MacysParade
Of course it sucks. It’s a parade. It’s loud, slow, garishly colored traffic. (rob) #MacysParade #ThanksgivingDayParade
Was that #FunkyRat I just saw in the #MacysParade? #Bugaloos Actually, it was someone dressed like an elephant ... that looked like Funky.
On TV: a giant Hallmark Channel float, appropriate for their Christmas movie focus. What it should've had: some sort of take that against Great American Family (maybe a cameo by a gay couple from one of their films)? 🙂
On TV: Jimmy Fallon gets a parade float presence? (*Hits the mute button*)
Watching the Macy's Parade stream replay. Happy Thanksgiving! #Thanksgiving #MacysParade
On TV: the Goku balloon. The announcers seem to talk him up some, mentioning he's one of the most popular anime characters of all time?
On TV: The Luffy balloon for "One Piece." The announcers note how many episodes it has, and how much time it'd take to try to catch up on part of it...
On TV: a Disney cruise float. Seems they got Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy's voice actors to do a few lines (Donald and Daisy are silent). Also a weird mix of corporate owned characters on the float: Tiana ("Princess and the Frog"), Moana (per the current sequel out), and... Spider-Man and Black Panther?
On TV: The Spider-Man balloon! And a name check of John Romita Sr. surprisingly, given the general public doesn't view superheroes as comic characters anymore---they're movie/TV characters only.
The music playing with the float is the (catchy) theme song from "Spidey and His Amazing Friends."
On TV: a peacock float to promote this parade being on Peacock. Al Roker says "how meta!"
Reminded of people who were snickering about the name "Peacock" when the service launched... which made me roll my eyes (or think of the phrase "go touch grass"), as it's an actual bird. Plus NBC's logo since the late 50s...
On TV: A SpongeBob balloon and float, with... Patchy the Pirate?! Guess that explains Tom Kenny's credit in the opening credits...
Also a Dora float and balloon.
The announcers note a new SpongeBob special's on Paramount+ (despite being a rival streaming service?).
On the Macy's Parade: Someone named Cole Escola on a giant pink flamingo. (Wikipedia says they're a playwright/Broadway star.) "They/them" pronouns get used by the announcers.
Santa and Ms Claus got like 30 seconds of screen time before the credits started.
On TV: the Minnie Mouse balloon. The announcers mention "Steamboat Willie," though no mention of it being in public domain, which everyone was abuzz about way back in January. Now, it's just "whatever?" That or everyone's waiting for 2025's upcoming public domain stuff (Popeye?).
Parade’s done.
