Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Viewers Not Impressed With 'Beetlejuice' Performance

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is underway but it seems as though fans weren't too impressed by the Beetlejuice performance. As millions of viewers tuned in to the annual spectacular, most anticipated a show involving oversized balloons and happy performances, and while they got that, according to the world of social media, the Beetlejuice production was more about death than Thanksgiving. Several have taken to social media to air their confusion and dismay for the odd, live show.

Tuned in to @CBS to see the #Balloons and watching a weird #Beetlejuice song and dance routine about #death, complete with dancing #skeletons. 🎼 “Hope you’re ready for a show about death!” 🎼😳Anyone else find that a little odd for a show millions of children are watching? 😁

Someone else seemed more fixated on Beetlejuice's costume more than anything, commenting that his jacket looked dirty.

Beetlejuice's coat is pretty gross, but I guess that's probably the point. It's ratty and dirty. I don't mind a well-loved coat, but he has not shown that he loves and cares for his coat. Let this be a lesson. #coatparade
