United Press International | Thursday, November 3, 2005 5:00 a.m.

A balloon of top-rated preschool cartoon show, "Dora the Explorer," has been added to the 79th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The 54-foot-tall balloon filled with 15,000 cubic feet of helium will become the first Latina-character balloon in the New York parade, the New York Post reported Thursday. The Dora balloon joins four other Nickelodeon-based balloons -- "The Rugrats," Blue from "Blues Clues," "Little Bill" and "Spongebob Squarepants." © Copyright 2005 by United Press International
