Parade 101: Balloon Design Basics

Artists Joey and Lauryn have really fun jobs, they design the larger-than-life balloons in the #macysparade! In the remarkable Design Department at the incredible Macy’s Parade Studio, they will teach you the fundamentals you need to design your own gigantic balloon.

Are you still gonna make the 95th anniversary float for the 2021 parade with current and retired characters that have been balloons in the parade, but this time with Felix the Cat, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Popeye the sailor man, Bullwinkle J. Moose, Olive Oyl, Woody Woodpecker, Garfield, Raggedy Ann, Spider-man, Snuggle Bear, the Pink Panther, Bugs Bunny, Paddington Bear, Barney the dinosaur, Curious George, Spongebob Squarepants, Dora the Explorer, the energizer bunny, Shrek, Papa Smurf, Finn the human and Jake the dog from "adventure time", Red Angry Bird, Poppy from "trolls" and Sam-i-Am & Guy-Am-i from "green eggs and ham"?

Looks like you're a true Macy's Parade fan! Please stay tuned for more news about the 2021 parade lineup next year :)

Well, my suggestion for a giant balloon would be a Darkwing Duck (a.k.a. Drake Mallard) balloon, from Disney's "Darkwing Duck", to promote an upcoming Darkwing duck reboot on Disney plus and to celebrate his 30th anniversary. Here's an image of him images.app.goo.gl/aoNZrF19GXfG8LL56 . Are you going to make it, along with the 95th anniversary character float?
