Since you may read previously Friday, Tim Burton is creating a balloon for that Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade this season.

But exactly how did the prolific director find yourself generating this exclusive -- if slightly unpredicted -- recognition? Discover might four other fun details ahead. 1.

"The only real guideline we gave him is: Try to step back from something skinny and sharp," Macy's parade creative director Bill Schermerhorn told the Occasions. 5.
