∙ 13y agoAccording to the History Channel, the longest balloon in Macy's parade history is the 104-foot long third Superman balloon, introduced in 1982. Unlike the first two supermen, this balloon was designed to fly horizontally, rather than stand vertically, for both practical and aesthetic reasons. The tall vertical balloons are more difficult to control, and also more difficult to view short-range.
Some have claimed the 1937 Nantucket Sea Monster balloon, which was based on a public hoax, was the longest at 120-125 feet (depending on which source you believe); however, this has not been confirmed. The original balloon was destroyed in 1942 and recycled for use in military manufacturing during World War 2, so the identity of the longest balloon may remain a mystery.
New regulations restricting the size of balloons virtually guarantee the 104-foot (or 120-foot) design will remain the largest (and longest) in parade history.
Because Superman is not flying in 2010, the longest balloon in this year's parade is Kermit the Frog, at 78 feet.

∙ 13y agoThe size of the largest balloon varies year to year. A few years ago, the Mickey Mouse balloon was the largest. In 2010, Kermit the Frog is largest, at 78 feet long.
The largest balloon ever displayed was either the third Superman balloon (1982), at 104 feet, or the Nantucket Sea Monster (1939), at 120-125 feet, depending on which source you believe. While the height of the Superman balloon has been verified, the size of the Nantucket Sea Monster has not, or the information is unpublished. Unfortunately, the Nantucket Sea Monster was destroyed and the rubber recycled for use during World War 2, so we may never know the answer.

What anime character have appear at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?
Pikachu, and if you count him, Sonic. Edit: Basically, no anime character appear at all during the Macy's Thanksgiving parades (possibly since Thanksgiving is a bias, all-American holiday). Pikachu and Sonic in actually are mainly video game characters who gained their fame in America through television. Sonic gained his TV fame from AoStH and SatAM. Pokemon, despite being an anime, became a massive phenomena to fans everywhere. It's sad really, how largely known characters like Goku (DB), Naruto Uzumaki, or Astro Boy (Tezuka anime version) wouldn't get their own parade floats. Anime and manga phenomena just tends to focus on story plot exposition and merchandise. No public appearances or direct pop culture references like characters in America.
