The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has been going on since 1924, so it has understandably undergone some changes. This video gives you a peek at what the parade was like when it was still relatively young. The balloons are little awkward and lopsided, but not lacking in charm. Even the voiceover is delightful—you can't make a bad joke with a Transatlantic accent: "Walt Disney's Donald Duck seems to be suffering from that morning after the night before feeling. Pull yahself together."
