My favorite giant Mickey Mouse giant balloon? I would say it would be a tie between the 2nd and 3rd Mickeys. The 2nd Mickey Mouse Ballon was during my own childhood, it flew to the Mickey Mouse March, and he looked so huggable. I was really sad when he no longer appeared in the parade. For all those 18 years I was ACHING to see another Mickey balloon in Macy's Parade. Then, in the year 2000, I was supremely thrilled to see Mickey come back. And his comeback balloon appearance was the most perfect ever as a bandleader. After all, Bandleader Mickey is as famous as, say, Sorcerer Mickey. And I now have a stuffed toy replica of Bandleader Mickey, straight out of Macy's, in my vast plushie collection. PS: I also collect inflatable toys of Mickey Mouse, and they're precious jewels of mine.
Not only did he have a love for puppets, but according to the Puppeteers of America, he was the first nationally known puppeteer in the United States--making him the unofficial father of American Puppetry.
Fun fact: mickey was supposed to appear in 1983 but during inflation his arm was accidentally ripped off and he later exploded, 22 years later in 2005 he was disposed of. R.I.P mickey 2, 1971-2005
actually the mickey balloon didn't have the 1975 and 1981 incidents but 1978 mickey's ear was bent for some reason ,the 1982 one happened and in 1983... you won't believe what the workers done to mickey....... THEY EXPLODE HIM UP!!!!!!!! FOR kermit in 1985 a tree ripped his stomach ,in 1991 his head was ripped once again by a tree and in 2004 the winds pushed him to the crowd but the workers push him back
Something tells me Disney and Macy's may bring back Band Leader Mickey in time for Mickey's 90th birthday next year. At least that would be a great surprise to see.
Band Leader Mick is adorable! Definitely my favorite! Cruise Line Mickey is a very close favorite, but mostly because I've been on so many cruises, lol!
Wow! Thanks for another great episode, Dan. I loved that Sailor Mick quite a bit. Always appreciate a good Miami Vice reference, too. That 1971 Mickey was soooooo 1971 with that shirt! I hope they one day have a Paul Rudish variant. That would be amazing! Maybe they'll do it to promote the upcoming ride at Epcot. By the way, I was thinking an episode about the rise of the churro at the parks could be really interesting. They seem to be such a big part of the park experience, and yet I don't remember them from when I went. Granted, that was thirty years ago at this point. Best. Hope your Thanksgiving was amazing.
According to another video I saw, Disney did get to use two Macy's balloons for personal use. One was Buzz Lightyear, which was used during a D23 Expo. The other was Santa Goofy, which they had floating at Hollywood Studios for a while during the holidays. Other than that, this was an interesting video! I hope to see Mickey return in the parade next year for his 90th birthday. It would be cool if they made him wearing a birthday hat or had him blowing a party blower or something like that. Also, like one person suggested, I'd love to see a video about the history of the Christmas parade. I watch it every year on Christmas morning. :)
it will not reason: MACY'S CARES ABOUT TOOTHLESS FROM HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON NOT WITH MICKEY SINCE THEY DO THIS TO FELIX THE CAT IN 2016 WHEN HE GOT A REDESIGN OF THE 1930 FELIX AND WHY NOT MICKEY?
Nice vid. TPMvids made a similar video to this a day ago. But I wished I watched your video first because yours has more information and feels more life like. When I watch TPMvids it's like I'm watching a watchmojo video 😂. Great Job
I'm watching the Rose Parade right now and was wondering if you could do a History of the Evolution of the Rose Parade. I'm very curious as to what some of these floats looked like at the start of the parade's history up to now. If not, maybe a video about the Evolution of Disney Rose Parade floats?
Nicely done! Yea I agree, bandleader Mickey was probably the best balloon
+TPMvids Happy Thanksgiving T! Hopefully he will make a magical great return one day. Haha
TPMvids hihihi I big fan. Happy turkey day!!!!
TPM it's you!
Your videos are awesome p.s big fan of you TPM !!!
im in canada so our thanksgiving is actully on october 11, it sounds strange but at least we get it earlier
I think the evolution of Mickey Mouse stuffed animals would be a good idea
Drew’s anything Odyssey Can he do that?
Drew
And the evolution of Mickey Mouse video games
A floating anchor? How ironic.
+Jackson Stewart Missed joke opportunity.
Jackson Stewart I laughed so hard when I read your comment.

You know what I like all of them actually!
I love the first balloon because it was the only balloon created by the man himself... just so interesting to hear Walt helped Macy’s
Me too.
Not only did he have a love for puppets, but according to the Puppeteers of America, he was the first nationally known puppeteer in the United States--making him the unofficial father of American Puppetry.
Pretty cool to know how popular Mickey already was in the 1930s

4:06 This reminds me of a Plague Doctor and a Gas Mask. My reaction was "Anybody got a match?"
"Vengeance is mine! You are all ants, and I am your destroyer!! Ha-ha!"
I remember Sailor Mickey, but MMC Mickey is DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE!!!
Which one the first one they showed or the sailor Mickey was actually the the first one he showed

FOR kermit in 1985 a tree ripped his stomach ,in 1991 his head was ripped once again by a tree

Pour sonic

I'm Not First, I'm Not Last But when Disney Dan Posts, I click Fast!
I can’t help but laugh when I see the balloons breaking and just flailing around everywhere
I like the parade looking mickey
Thanksgiving Day parades are so cool
I have a stuffed toy of the 2009 Sailor Mickey! I remember buying him as a Kohl’s one night, he still sits on my bed to this day :)
tony sark?
Tony stark..?
Disney Dan is the best because he tells about the Disney history. Do not mess with Dan!
"Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I'm tired. I need to go to bed to survive."
"NEW DISNEY DAN VIDEO CLICKING THAT RIGHT AWAY"

6:20 THIS IS WHY BARNEY STOPPED
6:18 RIP Barney LOL
Cruiseline Mickey is sooo cute.
My favourite balloons has got to be the 2000 and 2009 variants. What about you, Disney Dan?
+CYX 23 Band leader Mickey of course!
You should do a Distory on the various Christmas parades Disney has had on television for a Christmas video. My favourite is Bandleader Mickey as well
I'm kind of surprised they managed to do those parades during the 1930's, because of the great depression
I like the band and the Sailor one.
You will not also believe this, but Cassie from DragonTales made a FREAKING APPEARANCE IN THE MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE.
Yeah we don’t care, we only care about Mickey
I would SO like to see the evolution of Piglet walk around characters at Disney parks!
9:00 Hey that's a cool double-whamy shot, branding-wise! The Mickey parade balloon almost looks like he is saluting Lion King Broadway show!
Band Leader Mick is adorable! Definitely my favorite! Cruise Line Mickey is a very close favorite, but mostly because I've been on so many cruises, lol!
"mick",STICK WITH MICK??
2:04 Mickey Balloon of 1934 , my fave🎀🎈no make up on. But all that march reminds me of the famous chinesse festival.
Felix the cat and micky mouse were the best animation
I want to see tigger costume history and there's a lot of lack of distory videos
Oswald and ortensia Is awesome!!!!! I think its because there's some things in Disney what's to short
+Oswald and ortensia Is awesome!!!!! We had a lot going on the past few weeks. New weekly videos are coming back starting today!
Disney Dan I love Mickey Mouse clubhouse! BTW. I wasn’t alive when Mickey Mouse club aired
I like the last mickey

Wow! Thanks for another great episode, Dan. I loved that Sailor Mick quite a bit. Always appreciate a good Miami Vice reference, too. That 1971 Mickey was soooooo 1971 with that shirt!

reason: MACY'S CARES ABOUT TOOTHLESS FROM HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON NOT WITH MICKEY
SINCE THEY DO THIS TO FELIX THE CAT IN 2016 WHEN HE GOT A REDESIGN OF THE 1930 FELIX AND WHY NOT MICKEY?

+The Iron Giant Thanks Iron Giant! He has great content but I felt my Video was different enough to release without being called a copy cat. Haha
I'm watching the Rose Parade right now and was wondering if you could do a History of the Evolution of the Rose Parade. I'm very curious as to what some of these floats looked like at the start of the parade's history up to now. If not, maybe a video about the Evolution of Disney Rose Parade floats?
Happy Thanksgiving Disney Dan. The sailor Mickey was my favorite.

Evolution of SpongeBob SquarePants and Captain Hook
Wow you rock dude this is awesome 😎 -Jacob
The second mickey balloon was retired after 1983. The reason he did not appear in the 1983 parade was because he exploded during inflation.
Let’s Hope He’s Here This Time!
+Awesome Falcon 15! New Disney Balloon this year is Olaf!
Was there any Chuck E. Cheese ones?
Please do a story of other characters in Disney parks
Cool video
