The Teddy Bear is a giant balloon from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
The Teddy Bear balloon was a balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and one of the five balloons that debuted in 1945.
It initially only appeared in 1945, and was redesigned to the Panda Bear balloon in 1946.
In 1949, the balloon was recycled back into the Teddy Bear and returned for that year's parade, before briefly retiring after the procession.
It made one last flight in the 1952 Parade, with a slightly different appearance, having yellow pupils instead of black pupils. After 1952, it was retired for good and made three appearances.
