KPop Demon Hunters Floats to Take Center Stage at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
As Thanksgiving approaches, the selection of giant inflatables for the 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has been unveiled. Enthusiasts of the animated hit KPop Demon Hunters have a special reason to celebrate, as beloved characters Derpy Tiger and Sussie are set to appear as spectacular floats.
The parade is held each year in the heart of New York, featuring an impressive variety of inflatable figures from different corners of pop culture. Previous appearances have included characters ranging from SpongeBob SquarePants and Scooby-Doo to anime favorites like Dragon Ball and One Piece.
Meet the Mascots: Sussie and Derpy Tiger
These two adorable animal mascots are featured in the hit animated show KPop Demon Hunters. Within the series' plot, the group Huntr/x is a K-pop girl group by day and a squad of supernatural hunters by night, using their voices to restore the Honmoon and shield humanity from invading demons. Similar to Huntr/x and the Saja Boys, these mascots have won the hearts of viewers everywhere and are sure to be a standout attraction for audiences of all ages during the parade.
An Incredible Year for KPop Demon Hunters
It's no exaggeration to say that 2025 has been the year of KPop Demon Hunters. The Sony Animation production has soared to the top as the most-watched film on Netflix, received 5 Grammy nominations, and the singing stars behind Huntr/x—Rumi, Mira, and Zoey's voice actors—recently performed on a popular television program, presenting a breathtaking Honmoon-worthy act.
Adding to the excitement, the talented trio are set to make an appearance during the Thanksgiving Day festivities. Audiences can look forward to a potentially "Golden" performance from the group.
Future Plans for the Franchise?
A new feature film, KPop Demon Hunters 2, is reportedly in development, with a expected debut in the year 2029. While it's a long wait, the widespread love for the first movie suggests that audiences are eager for a follow-up worthy of the first installment. In the meantime, everyone can look forward to the amazing Derpy and Sussie balloons at the upcoming Thanksgiving parade.
