The Snoopy as the Flying Ace balloon on the 2008 NBC telecast.

Status: Partially Found

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade needs absolutely no introduction. Spanning an over 95 year history, the parade has been loved by children and adults alike. Many American's also watch the official NBC broadcast of the parade. While most are found, some are also lost. What is interesting however, is that even the widescreen cuts of parades can be considered lost media.

Availability

Since 2005, NBC has broadcasted the Parade in widescreen. While 2012-present are viewable in full in widescreen on YouTube, the same can not be said for the 2005-2011 parades, as most of those in that timeframe can't be viewed in full online. Most people were not using Widescreen TV's at the time, making the 2009-2011 parades more likely to be found then the 2005-2008 parades. Only a handful of clips have made their way to YouTube, implying that they still exist. The only one that is viewable in full that is widescreen is the 2007 Parade, having been uploaded originally by FraggleVision Returns under her Major League Pong Gods account, but being squished into 4:3. The 2007 broadcast stayed like that until 2021, when user JuggleBuggle would upload the balloons in widescreen to his YouTube account. Later in 2022, he would upload the rest of the parade in widescreen.
