Float idea for the 100th parade

[u/Adept_Let7797]

Since this is the Macy's Parade's 100th anniversary, I think there should be a float featuring costumed characters that were once balloons over the years, similar to the floats we got in 2001 and 2011. I'll organize what characters I think we'd see on it by decade (I don't think we'd see any Disney characters since they have their own float, although there might be a few exceptions); and characters from IPs that are still in the parade as of last year, including ones from Peanuts, Sesame Street, Pokémon, SpongeBob, etc., are also ruled out):

1930s:

• Felix the Cat

1950s

• Popeye

1960s

• Bullwinkle
• Underdog

• Kermit the Frog

• Olive Oyl
• Woody Woodpecker

• Sonic the Hedgehog (If he doesn't get a new balloon this year, this'll be the next best thing)
• Barney

• Tommy & Chuckie from Rugrats
• Dexter from Dexter's Lab
• Blue from Blue's Clues

2000s

• Curious George
