Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on August 11, 1962)

Happy Birthday, Rob Minkoff! May your day be filled with more joy than Timon and Pumbaa discovering an all-you-can-eat bug buffet. Your visionary direction gave us "The Lion King," teaching generations the true meaning of Hakuna Matata—though we're still working on perfecting our roar.

From animating iconic savannah adventures to bringing spooky laughs in "The Haunted Mansion," you've shown a talent for storytelling that transcends genres (and species). Here's hoping this birthday is as timelessly entertaining as your films—and may you continue directing life's scenes without any hyena interruptions or ghostly hitchhikers tagging along. Cheers to another animated year ahead!
