Most of the characters came in the form of huge balloons. But there were also real cars made after the Wacky Racers. Scooby’s Mystery Machine was also quite real with a new, modern van. There was also a quite big Transformer’s truck. It didn’t “transform” but it still looked great.

Toy firms and staples like Cartoon Network also had their own special booths. There visitors could see more characters and minievents. You can check the parade out in Mirror’s huge gallery.

The event was sure great. And we already look forward to the parade next year. But before that, there’s a lot more cool stuff coming. You know, like Christmas.
