Remember the Foster's Float from the Macy*s Parade?

[bloonuggets]

Say, remember last year when the Foster's float was in the Macy*s Thanksgiving Day Parade? Well, you can find out how it was created at http://www.macysparade.com, and click on the "Behind The Scenes" link under "Parade Information".

Thanks for the link. There's something to watch for this year. Expect debuts of Jackie Khones, Fluffernutter, and Bloppy Pants at the 2007 Macy*s Thanksgiving Parade.

That's cool. I always thought they had to disassemble the floats to transport them to Manhattan. But *fold* them. I wonder how they do that exactly. The only thing I can think of is how one "folds" a pop up trailer. Interesting.

Still no confirmation that the float will be in this years' parade, too. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Only five more days to go.

Edit: ORD, you got confirmation?? Sweet!

Will they be doing that pants song?

[One Radical Dude]

The song mentioned in the press release would be "You're My Best Friend" by Queen. Read all about it here.

Cheese? Singing?! Somewhere, Freddie Mercury is doing backflips six feet under. :lol:

[BabyCharmander]

Aaaagh, Cheese is going to sing!? D% THAT's going to be fun...

Still, I'd like to see this one. The float last year was cute. %3 When will they be showing this float? I don't normally watch the parade at all, so...

Do what I did last year; record it and fast-forward through the boring parts until you get to the float.

[BabyCharmander]

Agh, but I'll be taping Good Wilt Hunting that day and I only have one VCR that can actually record anything. XD; When does the parade start?

[Cassini90125]

Tape the parade, if you can only tape one. Good Wilt Hunting will be rerun; the parade is a one-shot deal.

Well, it's 9 AM where I live, but I don't believe it's necessarily the same for everyone. Check your local listings.

plus an encore presentation of the Emmy-nominated 90-minute animated feature, “Good Wilt Hunting.”

*snicker* The movie was 60 minutes. XDD

Yay! I watch the parade every year, but I rarely wake up in time to see it from the beginning. I hope I catch the float. I remember last year I had no idea before hand that Foster's was going to have a float. I was sitting on the couch, only half watching the parade (I think I was browsing through a catalogue) when I heard a very familiar song, so I turned my full attention to the TV. I was sooooo thrilled, I clapped my hands and laughed in pure glee! I do remember the Wilt puppet looked NOTHING like himself, and it creeped me out a bit. I felt sorry for him. I wonder if they'll be using the exact same puppets this year, or maybe made some improvements. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Only four days to go! Woohoo!!

Yeah, I remember the Wilt puppet looking a bit odd. No matter what happens, I look forward to seeing the Foster's float once again at the Macy*s Thanksgiving Day parade. Last year, I missed seeing the float during the airing of the parade.

Saw the pics of last year's float, quite impressive, I have to say, it'll be good to see what they do this year.
The Thanksgiving Parade, unfortunately, isn't something that would be shown on prime time British telly though. Though it might get a little snippet on the news, maybe. And there's always YouTube.
