I really love that design - especially because of the moving elements.
Are there ANY moving elements on any of the floats?

There's a disco ball on the Minion float...that doesn't move.I really love that design - especially because of the moving elements.

I just found it odd to promote a film from another studio while ignoring things like Shrek and classic monsters among others. I mean why call it Universal Mega Movie parade - just call it The Mega Movie paradeWho cares?? Add Harry Potter and Beetlejuice into the parade. They’re missing out
Doc and Marty do need more banter, E.T needs pedaling, where is Gru? And there is of course a missing Ecto-1 but the ghostbuster characters are doing a great job. But otherwise is a very good job!
Or the Ops Should wear black. They are stagehands, and while Character Ops should be visible, these should blend into to the background. Or be themed, as suggested.
its inside the Universal park, and it’s a parade, I just really want other additions like the aforementioned Potter and Beetlejuice (this would be an absolutely sick float, Sandworm, cemetery and house)I just found it odd to promote a film from another studio while ignoring things like Shrek and classic monsters among others.

I am the audience for parades I love them, and this one could be great, " could" still be great, but it's missing something for repeat views.I'm just not the audience for parades (I don't quite "get" them in terms of appeal, and never did even as a kid), and nothing I've seen of this one would change that.
Many of the floats are very nice, though. Especially the JAWS one.
wax museum is a good way to put it. which is technically beautiful to look at. the actors do seem kind of awkward specially the E.T. ones lolMost of the floats are really lacking any kinetic energy at all. Feels like most of the time I’m looking at a wax Museum on wheels. There’s exceptions, sure, but it all seems so lifeless and uninspired.
But I will save any more criticism until every float is there and everything is working.
Eh. My issues with it are more fundamental design questions about some specific floats, and those questions REALLY bother me. (Lead float aside, it bothers me that the Delorean and the Orca are weirdly moving backwards through the parade).My prediction:
A month from now, it turns out that there's a lot more kinetic moving effects and other effects in general - and people on here will mostly love it.
and, with more floats coming, and some better choreography and better cast enthusiasm, it should only get better. I'm sure Universal will get feedback and do some staff enhancements to fix issues. Those are pretty easy fixes.....and it is in 'technical' phase and the floats were behind the expected completion date.So my friend who is GP watched this on opening day and loved it. So my guess is GP won't care about the small things. She said yes the floats are static but the people on the floats made it really enjoyable and she loved how it was so many classic movies she grew up with.
