The King and I is a 1999 American animated musical film directed by Richard Rich and written by Peter Bakalian, Jacqueline Feather, and David Seidler loosely adapted from the Anna Leonowens story and uses songs and some of the character names from Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's stage musical of the same name.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
In 1998, to help promote the movie, which was to be released the following year, Warner Bros. Pictures teamed up with the Macy's Parade team to create a brand-new float. It featured a well-derailed Chinese temple at the rear of the float, with a Chinese-themed garden that decorated the front of the float. Various actors dressed in traditional Chinese attire stood at the front of the float. It was only seen in the 1998 Parade.
