Tim Burton is the
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade's newest balloon man. Yup, the good people over at Macy's asked Tim Burton to contribute to their 2011 palatial motorcade and he oblidged. And in true Tim Burton fashion, he plans to deliver a deranged little character named B. Boy complete with backstory and all according to the New York Times blog:
According to an origin story dreamed up by Mr. Burton, B. was created, Frankenstein’s monster-style, from the leftover balloons used in children’s parties at the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. Forbidden from playing with other children because of his jagged teeth and crazy-quilt stitching, B. retreated to a basement lair, where he obsesses over Albert Lamorisse’s film “The Red Balloon” and dreams that he, too, will be able to fly someday.
