Happy, Happy Birthday to You

Barney's Birthday is a Barney Home Video that was released on August 6, 1996. It is not to be confused with the 1992 Barney & Friends Episode Video of the same name. On April 23, 2006, it was re-released under a different title, Barney's Super Singing Party.

Plot
After singing "If You're Happy and You Know It", the kids find out that it's Barney's birthday, and he's turning two hundred million years old, or two dinosaur years. Everyone then plans a special birthday party for Barney, with songs, games, decorations, and, of course, cake. Stacy and Laura also take time to explain how birthdays are celebrated in the Spanish and German respectively, and they sing birthday songs from both places. After giving Barney her Taco Bell Dog and Teddy Bear, Carly learns that presents aren't the most important thing of a birthday; it's the thought that counts. Barney makes a special birthday wish for all his friends to join him at the party, and of course, it comes true. Everyone ends by singing I Love You, and they continue to celebrate from there.
