Paul Frank’s Julius Joins the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade is about to start monkey-ing around! Paul Frank’s Julius will premiere as a larger-than-life character balloon during Macy’s upcoming annual holiday event.

With help from Macy’s Parade Studio and Paul Frank Industries, Julius will transform into a giant helium balloon measuring more than 40 feet tall. Around 3.5 million spectators at the parade will see firsthand Julius’s inaugural flight, while an additional 50 million viewers nationwide will watch it on television.

Following his flying debut, Julius will star in his own seasonal animated special about the true meaning of Christmas. Julius fans that can’t wait for the parade can keep busy with interactive experiences at Paul Frank online.

Saban’s Samurai Power Rangers will also return to the parade and will escort the giant Earth balloon. The 2011 Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade will air on Thursday, November 24 on NBC, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m in all time zones.
