While almost all of NBC's parades since 1980 have been widely bootlegged, most of which were in full, the 1989 parade is the only one since 1981 (except [[Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 1982 (partially found NBC footage of parade; 1982)|1982]]) that has yet to surface in full. This is especially odd since it (like all the other parades during this time period) aired during a time when nearly everyone in North America had some form of home recording media, though for some reason no one wants to share the whole thing on the Internet. Unlike the 1982 parade, plenty of footage of the parade does exist online, but it wasn't in its entirety.

This was especially odd since it (like all the other parades during this time period) aired during a time when nearly everyone in North America had some form of home recording media, but few were willing to upload it online.  


On September 8th, 2015, YouTuber FragglevisionReturns under her Major League Pong Gods channel uploaded an incomplete copy of the 1989 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This copy of the parade was edited at the taper's discretion, and thus was missing about 2/3 of the first hour, a marching band performance shortly after then, and a substantial (or not?) chunk in the middle (not to mention a ton of commercials). Some lost footage that wasn't from this copy can be seen online like the new Bugs Bunny balloon inflation test and a marching band performance before the Nestlé Quik Bunny balloon.
