Barney didn’t just appear in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, he changed it permanently. From the early ground floats, to the towering “megasaurus” balloon, to the infamous 1997 disaster that changed parade safety forever, this video breaks down every single one of his appearances across twelve years. It’s the full history of how a giant purple dinosaur became a Thanksgiving icon… and how he suddenly vanished from the skyline.
