NEW
YORK, Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nickelodeon
will kick off the holiday season in high-flying style with two
brand-new elements at the 98th Macy's Thanksgiving Day
Parade® on Thursday,
Nov. 28. The new Parade entries will showcase popular
characters from Nickelodeon's hit animated series PAW
Patrol, produced by Spin Master Entertainment, and new
Paramount+ original series, DORA.
Marshall, the heroic firefighter dalmatian pup from PAW
Patrol, takes to the streets and will join this year's Parade
and soar above the New York City
skyline Thanksgiving morning. This lovable pup is sure to save the
day and delight live spectators and viewers across the country.
Alongside Marshall, Dora, the first Latina character to ever
appear in the Parade, and her friends, including Boots, Map and
Backpack, will bring the wonders and fun of the rainforest to the
streets of New York with DORA's
Fantastical Rainforest, a vibrant, eye-catching float and
balloon hybrid element.
"We're so excited to bring two of the most iconic preschool
franchises, PAW Patrol and DORA, to
one of the most legendary family events of the year--the Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade," said Jamie
Drew, Executive Vice President, Consumer Products &
Experiences, Paramount. "The brand-new Marshall balloon and
DORA float, along with Nickelodeon's parade mainstays
SpongeBob SquarePants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, will come
to life on the streets of New York
City, spreading holiday cheer and captivating fans of all
ages."
"The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is thrilled to welcome
Marshall from PAW Patrol for his first appearance along
with the return of Dora and all her friends," said Jordan Dabby, producer of Macy's Thanksgiving
Day Parade. "We know fans across the country and in New York City will love seeing these beloved
characters join SpongeBob SquarePants and the Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles for an exciting and memorable Thanksgiving morning."
Marshall, and Dora and her friends, are the latest character
additions to Nickelodeon's lineup of globally beloved franchises,
joining the SpongeBob SquarePants balloon and the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles float in this year's nationally televised
Parade.
In celebration of the 25th milestone anniversary of
the animated series this year, the SpongeBob SquarePants balloon
will be accompanied by a brand-new "Garriage"—an electric-powered
yellow carriage drawn by Gary, SpongeBob's pet snail. Additionally,
the fan-favorite pizza-loving Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will
emerge once again from the sewers onto the streets of the Big Apple
with a vibrant multilevel float inspired by the new series Tales
of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, streaming now on
Paramount+.
