Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on March 31, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Chris Conkling! May your day be filled with more joy than a hobbit discovering second breakfast. Your timeless storytelling in the animated "The Lord of the Rings" screenplay continues to enchant generations—proving that not all who wander into animation are lost!

From crafting epic adventures in Middle-earth to inspiring countless imaginations, you've truly mastered the art of bringing fantasy alive. Here's hoping this birthday is as legendary and memorable as Gandalf's fireworks display at Bilbo's party—and may you celebrate many more years filled with creativity, laughter, and perhaps fewer encounters with ring-obsessed creatures!
