Happy Birthday, Howard Ashman! Your magical touch transformed a beast into prince charming and gave Aladdin his genie-powered charm. Who knew singing teapots and candlesticks could teach us about love, bravery, and how one really shouldn't judge by appearances? Clearly you did.Your lyrics continue to enchant generations—"Be Our Guest" still guarantees instant smiles around any dinner table. They're timeless gems that leave us inspired (and humming uncontrollably). Wishing a delightful day filled with magic carpets, enchanted roses—or at least plenty of laughs—as memorable as your brilliant musical legacy!
