Get ready for some Minion mayhem at this year's Holiday Parade featuring Macy's.

The giant parade balloons are back for this year's holiday season. Expect to see massive Minions, giant Dronkie babies and a huge pineapple courtesy of the animals of Madagascar.

Not just content with big Thanksgiving day parade style balloons, there are huge floats themed to three of Dreamworks/Illuminations biggest movies. There's also a whole section of the parade dedicated to toys and Santa. The parade was designed to remind everyone of childhood memories, no matter how old you are.

It's a great parade that runs every day in Universal Studios Florida.
