Murakami’s Kaikai and Kiki Join Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Sunday September 05, 2010 |
 Expect more than Mickey and SpongeBob at this year’s 84th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. Organizers have invited Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami’s Kaikai and Kiki characters along for the ride. Murakami’s trademark characters will be turned into balloons to float along in NYC’s Thanksgiving Parade with other, perhaps more recognizable, traditional cartoon stars and corporate trademarks.
Kaikai and Kiki should translate excellently into massive balloon form. Dammit, now we have to sit through the whole Parade coverage on TV.
