The Untold Story Behind The Macy’s Day Parade Peanuts Balloons - What it Takes for Snoopy to Soar
How do they make those giant balloons for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City? How do they keep them from flying away? How many times has Snoopy been part of the parade. What about Charlie Brown? Will Linus ever get his balloon?
Melissa and David get the inside scoop from Will Coss, vice president and executive producer of branded entertainment at Macy's. Will shares some of the outrageous inside details few people know - “Inflation Eve,” anyone? - and he even talks about what happened during last year’s parade when part of the Beagle Scout Snoopy deflated. He walks us through the design process for a new balloon idea and what it takes to make a balloon actually "fly.” He also shares fun behind-the-scenes stories about the “Peanuts” parade balloons, including some Charles Schulz designed himself.
