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. ๐ผ โHope youโre ready for a show about death!โ ๐ผ๐ณAnyone else find that a little odd for a show millions of children are watching? ๐

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

While one performance seems to be sticking out like a sore thumb via social media, there are still plenty more of those who attended the New York parade and those tuning in that have plenty enjoy! The 93rd annual event has been quite the treat so far. Those watching an expect to see 16 giant character balloons, 40 novelty balloons, 26 floats, 1,200 cheerleaders and dancers, more than 1,000 clowns, and 11 marching bands.
Something extra exciting this year is that there will be five new balloons introduced: “Blue’s Clues & You!” by Nickelodeon, “The Brick-Changer” by the Lego Group, “Home Sweet Home” by Cracker Barrel, “Rexy in the City” by COACH, and “Toy House of Marvelous Milestones” by New York Life.
