“Today we are here at East Rutherford, testing out our balloons for the first time in real-world conditions. We’ve been building these balloons over the last 8 to 12 months, and today is our first opportunity to fly them. See them, see how they react with wind in real-world conditions. It also gives our balloon handlers an opportunity to start to understand the movements along with our flight management team. So today is both our first opportunity to reveal our collection of balloons, but it also is an opportunity for us to train the team that’s going to be bringing them down the parade route on Thanksgiving morning.”

We have a long history in partnership with the Disney organization from Mickey Mouse’s first debut balloon in 1934 to Minnie’s debut here and our 98th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. So throughout the years, we’ve celebrated this great partnership and really excited to bring Minnie Mouse to the streets of New York City on Thanksgiving morning.”

Some of the world’s most popular animated characters have taken to the skies as Macy’s prepares for their annual Thanksgiving Day parade.

Among the balloons are characters that have never been seen before at the event, as well the debut of a very famous mouse.

STORYLINE:

A giant Spider-Man hovers in the New Jersey air.

His hand is in the familiar web-shooting pose, but today he’s attached by strings.

He’s one of a host of familiar animated characters set to take part in this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Organizers are conducting test flights for six new character balloons that will join the 98th edition of the event in New York City later this month.
