Many happy returns of the day, though commiserations on having to share a birthday with Robbie Williams. I'm so sorry. It could be worse, I share my birthday with Bill Gates.

I was not aware of this until I was in college, and frankly, does it really matter about the twist or the context of the day for fans? I think it does, as history has a way of repeating itself. These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews.
