I thought it was cute, and they did a good job with the character.

But I am also VERY disappointed that Frankie is nowhere to be seen, neither in the parade or the how-to-draw ads. It makes me feel left out.

She couldn't have helped. I'm sorry, but the float was a real let-down. :(

Thanks Sparky! I missed seeing it on the parade this a.m.

I wasn't dissapointed, but for some reason I was expecting, I don't know just a little more zing or pizzaz to the float.

The cover song was pretty good though.

I'm actually glad they didn't have Frankie. They would have undoubtedly had some struggling Broadway actress who "sort of looked like" Frankie, and it would have just been sad. :P

8D I definitely won't disagree with you there.

I actually had uploaded the parade clip to Google video (where I keep my ComicCon panel clip) first, but then remembered it can take a while for them to approve videos on there, that's why I did it on YouTube too. But just in case YouTube decides to axe it, here is the same clip on Google:

Thank you so much Sparky! I knew we could count on you!

I was SO mad this morning when I missed it. My mom called me and asked "Did you see it?!!" and I was like "OMGWTFBBQ WE'RE ON THE WRONG CHANNEL!!" I darted to the remote so quickly that it would have impressed Olympic judges, but I didn't make it in time. You should have seen me... I was angry like the Hulk. 8D

I'm glad I got to see it - it wasn't the most fantastic thing in the history of mankind, but it was really really really cute! :D

AWW! I deffinatley loved the float!! xD It was sooo cute! :)

"C" the Dragon 11-23-2006 05:32 PM

I saw it, and loved it!:D I can finally hear Wilt sing more! It was *so* cute!

Chaos Wielder 11-23-2006 06:56 PM

Yeah, I also thought it was cute! I was SLIGHTLY disappointed that Frankie and Mac were nowhere to be found, but the truth is that I think it could've went either way if they were brought into the picture. If they had gotten the right costumes and people for them everything would've turned out ok probably, OR they could've gotten the wrong people to dress up as them-it'd be hard to get people that could pull them off well, in my opinion. But overall I liked it. :)

Invader Bloo 11-23-2006 07:39 PM

It was OK, still sad there was no mac or Frankie. Yep that was Cheese at the end, I wanted to hear Cheese sing. :(:P

Imaginary Light 11-24-2006 07:07 AM

I thought the float was cute. Bloo singing in his off-key voice was funny8D

Yeah, especially at the end when he spun around in the chimney! 8D

Chaos Wielder 11-24-2006 01:46 PM

I forgot to mention that! It really was hilarious when Bloo was spinning in the chimney and singing VERY loudly and off-key! 8D

InsaneFan 11-24-2006 05:45 PM

Muaha, I got up and watched all the of the parade until it came on, then stopped after it was over. I WANT THAT FLOAT. ^^

I knew you guys would get it uploaded to the internet. That's why I didn't bother to tape it myself. xP

bloonuggets 11-24-2006 10:53 PM

And did you notice there wasn't one Bloo, but FOUR?

Mr. Marshmallow 11-25-2006 04:19 PM

I have to say I was a little satisfied and a little disappointed at the same time. I think Bloo singing like an idiot and randomly popping out of here and there with his singing was great, as was hearing Wilt singing good this time. I was upset Cheese didn' say jack tho.

While the song was a nice touch and the float was neat to look at, I agree that the dsiappearance of Mac was a STUPID and very hollow move. They could have easily got some people up their in costumes to do Mac and possibly Frankie. Mac is a GIVEN where as Frankie seemed like an iffie.

I'd love to see her up there as much as the next Frankie fan, but due to Mac and Bloo's spot light identities I didn't hold my breath. But I really think this was a very..."plastered" representation of Foster's and felt it could have been more lively and more active. But still, nice to see them getting popular.

DoubleLatte 11-25-2006 06:34 PM

For being such an energetic show, yeah, the float seemed like a watered-down version of Foster's. Wilt looked odd to me without the ear-to-ear Colgate smile. Maybe they could have made him sing and smile? :3

Saw the parade and loved seeing Fosters!
