Which character was the first to appear as a balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade?

A Felix the Cat
B Big Bird
C Snoopy

In 1927, Felix the Cat was filled with air instead of helium, so instead of being held down by tethers, he was attached to stilts and held up for attendees to see. For the 90th anniversary of the parade in 2016, Felix returned in the exact same fashion.

The correct answer is Felix the Cat.
