TMNT Float to Debut in 2012 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Tweet

Nickelodeon has released the above concept art for their planned Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade float.

From the press release:

"Millions of families around the country will come together for the annual tradition of watching Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and we couldn't be more thrilled to once again partner with Macy's to bring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to life," said Pam Kaufman, chief marketing officer, Nickelodeon Group. "Our new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series has really struck a chord with fans and this spectacular float will offer them an exciting Nickelodeon entertainment experience."

This is the first time ever the TMNT will have a dedicated float in the parade. They have, however, appeared in the parade before, though it was no where near as elaborate.

The TMNT last appeared in the parade in either 2008 or 2009, when the 4Kids Turtles costumes walked the route. However, these Turtles did not make it to the TV broadcast.

The 86th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade airs nationwide on NBC, Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012, from 9am-12pm in all time zones.
