Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, wait, it’s… UNDERDOG!
According to ABC7, everyone’s favorite canine superhero is officially returning to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time in 42 years.
Based on the hit TV series of the same name, the original version of Underdog’s float appeared in every Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade from 1964 to 1984, quickly becoming a longtime fan-favorite for parade attendees across the country.
The new version of the float will offer an updated version of Underdog, standing at 28.8 feet tall.
Premiering on NBC on October 3 , 1964 before transitioning to CBS until 1967, Underdog followed the titular superhero who defended his recurring love interest, Sweet Polly Purebred, from dastardly villains like Simon Bar Sinister and Riff Raff.
Among the early Saturday morning cartoons of its era, the show became known for its trademark theme song, with many fans quoting the lyrics in the initial online announcement from ABC7.
“I still remember that from 60 years ago,” one nostalgic fan shared on Facebook. “But I don’t remember where I left my keys.”
“Not bird nor plane or even a frog, just little old me, Underdog,” another user quoted.
“I was one of the Underdog handlers on his last flight in the ’80s!” added a third fan. “Great to know he’s back!”
The upcoming Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is set to take place on Thanksgiving, November 26, beginning at 8:30 AM. The parade will feature 24 main floats alongside numerous other characters and designs.
For the 2026 Thanksgiving Day Parade, fans can look forward to seeing an even mix of classic returning floats and new floats, including Tom Turkey, Santa’s Sleigh, Harry Potter, Tony Sarg’s Amazing Marionettes and Disney’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice-themed Mickey Mouse, among many, many others.
