Ronald has appeared in four versions since he was introduced to the parade. In his first balloon in 1987, he was holding balloons; in his second from 2000, he was normal; in his third from 2009, he was wearing a scarf and ice skates, and in his fourth in 2015, he was wearing a tuxedo version of his usual costume. Macy's has officially stated that Felix, the first character balloon in the parade, was introduced in 1927.
Summing it up it's quite good show, respecting its source material and amazing audio. Animation wise it ain't the best, especially when mixing too much of CGI with more grounded 2D animations but nothing, that would kill the atmosphere. Bacgrounds are spot on, character designs stay true to the source and overall manages to keep up with the creepiness of the original work. Best enjoyed alone in darkness, ain't work to enjoy with friends and definitely not your regular entertaining shows. Being a seinen I believe should be watched by more mature audience and definitely audience that understands this type of work.A balloon brings awareness to your brand and property in ways that few events can. What's more, since placement in the parade can not be bought (unless you are a sponsor of the TV broadcast), any character that is included in the parade is considered by Macy's to be a character of significant importance in pop culture. Recently it was a big deal when Bluey was announced to be part of the parade, as it meant that the character was no longer a mere pre-school show for kids; she is an iconic character that the average American recognizes and loves. When it comes to anime, you can count the number of characters included in the parade on one hand:
A second balloon of the character was made in 2011, based on a redesign introduced after the original balloon was retired. But here we are, we got 20 short stories from Ito's rich and vile world, some were great, some quite disappointing, unfortunately what works on paper not always works on the silver screen. Regardless that - it was fun yet Moreover, this isn’t the only time Junji Ito’s manga has inspired an anime anthology. There were several adaptations of The Model, Tomie, Window Next Door, and Smashed in the past. Anime fans believe it didn’t live up to the original manga artwork. Now, with the upcoming Netflix adaptation, fans are looking forward to great storytelling, especially since the visuals have been perfect to start with.Balloons have since been split into several categories; giant character balloons (balloons that require 5,000 or more cubic feet of helium, generally depicting pop-culture characters), Novelty/Heritage balloons (balloons that require less than 5,000 cubic feet of helium, generally depicting generic objects and recreations of historic Macy's balloons ); Balloonicles (a balloon figure powered by a vehicle inside the balloon, introduced in 2004); Balloonheads (an inflatable character head attached to a costume worn by the performer, introduced in the 1930s but later reintroduced in 2003); Trycaloons (balloon figures riding on bicycles, introduced in 2011); and Floaloonicles (part-float, part-balloon-part, vehicle, introduced in 2021).
