Today, the "God of Special Effects", the Master of Monsters who brought life to Godzilla, Ultraman, and so many other characters that we love, turns 114. And best of all, he's being recognized for it around the world today... in a big and AWESOME way.

Visit the Goodle home page and... watch the fun. ;)

Great interview with August Ragone about Tsuburaya:

Eiji Tsuburaya made Godzilla come alive — and it changed film forever
