Happy Birthday! Recommended birthday videos: Ideas (1–10)
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.
Happy birthday sand art
This is a birthday video made with sand art.
Sand art refers to artworks and activities that use sand—are you familiar with it? There are many ways to express it, such as spreading fine sand and drawing patterns with your fingers, or using the sand itself to create pictures.
The works are wonderfully enchanting yet somehow warm.
You can simply send this video as is, but it might also be nice to watch how it’s made and create your own original sand art—that could make someone really happy!
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.

Dance movie
A classic choice for entertainment or a performance is a dance.
How about brightening a video celebrating your friend’s birthday with a dance? There are plenty of dance tracks to choose from—songs by the recipient’s favorite artists or birthday tunes.
Pick a hype song and give it a try.
Even if you’re not great at dancing, it’s not scary when everyone dances together, right? Don’t just dance—edit in a short message as well.
It’ll surely become a wonderful memory for both the giver and the receiver.
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!
Toy Story 3 Birthday Surprise Movie
The appeal is that it features the familiar characters from the Toy Story series all together.
It also includes Japanese subtitles, making it easy to understand.
The way the toys put their heads together and work hard to celebrate a birthday is really cute, isn’t it?
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.
