Happy Birthday! Recommended birthday videos: Ideas (1–10)
The classic! Birthday cake video
One of the highlights of a birthday party is that moment when you blow out the candles on the cake while making a wish.
And of course, the familiar birthday song is essential at that time.
Even when you can’t bring an actual cake, giving someone a birthday video with the cake as the star can still let them enjoy the mood.
The birthday song BGM starts with a simple, classic piano version and then builds up with cheerful, country-style vibes to keep the excitement going.
Happy Birthday By Hilary Grist
Set to stylish acoustic Western music, this birthday video features adorable watercolor illustrations.
The artwork isn’t a still image; the drawing process itself is captured on film.
Because it plays like a time-lapse of the piece coming together, it never gets boring, and the anticipation of “What will they draw next?” is delightful.
The handwritten words and birthday cake feel especially heartwarming.
If you’re looking for a handmade, gentle-feeling video, this is a perfect pick.
Chill Cat Anime
Characters with a loose, hand-drawn feel—like those you see in LINE stickers—have an indescribably cozy vibe and are really popular, aren’t they? This is a birthday movie featuring a “Yuru Neko” (chill cat) that’s perfect for cat lovers in particular.
The way it throws its paws up for banzai over and over with all its might is super cute and funny! Because it’s a relaxed video that isn’t too formal—just like a laid-back character—it seems perfect for casually sending to friends.

Clay birthday video
Many of you probably remember playing with paper clay or flour dough when you were children.
Clay, which can be freely shaped, is also used in animation methods such as claymation.
This is a cute birthday video where flowers bloom on a clay-crafted birthday cake—an essential for any birthday—and adorable dogs gather around to celebrate.
The exciting Electone birthday song is a perfect match for the charming clay creations.
Mickey & Minnie’s Birthday
This is a video of Mickey Mouse celebrating Minnie Mouse’s birthday with all his heart! He rents out the venue, gifts her a birthday song with his own drum performance, and hands her a bouquet—surprise after surprise that any woman would love.
While the video itself features Mickey and Minnie’s birthdays, how about sending this video first, then giving her a bouquet just like Mickey does? If your girlfriend loves Disney, she’ll probably be thrilled!
Happy Birthday song animation ever
This video is recommended for people who have birthdays in winter or whose birthday falls on Christmas Day.
A stick figure drawn with a pen pops out of the paper to go skiing, climbs up to the moon to fetch stars, and more—a slightly whimsical yet dreamy story unfolds.
Many children probably share the wish to climb to the moon or grab a star, so it’s also great as a birthday video for kids.
Watching this heartwarming birthday video against a fantastical snowy backdrop will likely bring a little chuckle and leave you feeling very happy.
Cute celebration videos of animals
Cute animals are loved by women, of course, but they actually have lots of male fans too.
For someone who loves animals, how about this birthday video? The relaxed illustration of a bunny wearing a “Star of the Day” sash over its face is adorable, and the dog, cat, and guinea pig that look like they’re joining the birthday party are truly cute! Plus, the video includes a heartfelt birthday message that really hits home, so I highly recommend it.
It’s a jam-packed video that delivers both birthday wishes and soothing vibes.
