The city's economy is tanking, but there exists money to pay for civil servants to work this parade? #7,if I'm not mistaken Macy's and their sponsors pay for this parade thus paying for all overtime of city employees (don't worry your taxes are safe) not to mention the amount of revenue this parade generates with the over 1MM people it attracts and the over 50 million viewers on TV. I hardly doubt the city is playing for any of this.

The celestial one is beautiful (even if the moon is depressed)! And who knew they painted by numbers? Cool stuff.

I'm all for hisorical accuracy, but perhaps having the pilgrim fox coiled and ready to maul and eat the little Native American Dramatic Prairie Dog is a bit much.

I'm always a little disturbed at all the happy cartoon turkeys that appear every year. It's like the turkey is the one character not in on the joke.

Bolt is Walt Disney Animation Studios, not Disney/Pixar. Wall-E was Disney/Pixar.
