Anand Mahindra’s ‘Sleeping Beauty proposal’ post received lots of appreciation and people dropped all sorts of comments.
Anand Mahindra recently took to Twitter to share a viral proposal video which has already created quite a stir online. In case you have missed it, it’s a video of a man proposing to his girlfriend through an animated Sleeping Beauty movie. There’s a chance that the clip will fill you up with warm fuzzy feelings or leave you with an ‘inferiority complex’ – just like Anand Mahindra.
“This clip has been going viral globally. This gent apparently hack-animated a Disney movie to propose to his childhood sweetheart,” Mahindra wrote. Then he jokingly wrote that he thought he did a good job with his proposal 40-year-ago. Further wittily added, “now I have an inferiority complex”.
Mahindra’s post received lots of appreciation and people dropped all sorts of comments. Since being shared some 16-hour-ago, the video has gained close to 1.2 lakh views. It has also garnered about 15,000 likes and over 2,700 retweets.
While some were at awe, others agreed with the business tycoon. A few even urged him to share the story of his proposal. Some went a step further and suggested Mahindra to recreate the magic of his proposal again. Here’s what they tweeted:
The people seen in the video are Filmmaker Lee Loechler and his girlfriend Sthuthi David. Loechler worked for six months to animate a fake screening of David’s favorite Disney movie Sleeping Beauty, reports CNN.
Loechler hired an illustrator to get the images done where the main characters were recreated to look like Loechler and David. He then rented out a theater to play the movie and invited David’s family. Also, in a bid to make the setting look real, he took to reddit to invite volunteers to fill up the movie hall.
It was during a pivotal scene where the price in the movie wakes up the princess, Loechler included the proposal scene. From that point, the story turned into a real life fairy tale with David finally saying yes.
It happened on December 30 at the Coolidge Corner Theatre. The duo along with David’s family and the volunteers went out for pizza and beer to wrap up the sweet event.
