Let's make this birthday one to remember.

58 years old (Born on January 21, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Goro Miyazaki! May your day be as magical and adventurous as "Tales from Earthsea," but hopefully with fewer dragons causing trouble. Your storytelling has enchanted us all—though we're still waiting for our invitation to that charming clubhouse in "From Up on Poppy Hill."

Congratulations again on winning the 2012 Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year; clearly, talent runs strong in your family tree (no pressure!). Here's wishing you another year filled with creativity, laughter, and perhaps a little less parental critique. Keep animating dreams into reality—we can't wait to see what masterpiece you'll craft next!
