The Muppets have appeared in one form or another in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade every year from 1974 to 2019. These are just a few of their memorable or notable appearances. For more Muppet fun, visit ToughPigs.com!
This was Kevin Clash’s first time performing. He performed Cookie Monster when Frank Oz and the other main Muppeteers performed the Electric Mayhem Bus.
Actually, there were 6 other balloons who survived. Those being Arthur, Garfield, Peter Rabbit, Rugrats, Spider-Man and Bumpé (but only with some minor damages and defects). Also, the two falloons, The Grinch (who got through perfectly) and Paddington Bear.
I saw the Fraggles on the television broadcast of this year’s parade. I think Jim Henson would’ve loved the “Fraggle Rock” reboot, because it had most of the magical moments and valuable life lessons that made the original series special.
