Boston filmmaker Lee Loechler proposed to his girlfriend Sthuthi David in a unique and creative way. He animated himself into her favorite movie, Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty” and spent six months altering the animation to look like him and his girlfriend. He also brought in their family and friends to watch the movie with them.
Loechler expressed his excitement on YouTube, stating, “It’s not every day you get to propose to your High School sweetheart. For the past six months, I’ve been working with an illustrator to animate my girlfriend and myself into her favorite movie, ‘Sleeping Beauty.’ On 12/30/19 I popped the question in a theater filled with our friends and family.”
The video was shared by the Art House Convergence on Thursday January 8. An email attached to the video read, “On December 30, a young man rented the Coolidge Screening Room for a surprise proposal to his girlfriend. ‘Sleeping Beauty’ is her favorite film, so he hired someone to animate a fake ending where they become the main characters and his onscreen character tosses a ring for him to ‘catch’ in real life. He went to great lengths to make this seem like a real screening, even making fake movie tickets (so the girlfriend actually unwittingly invited HIM to her own proposal), and got strangers from Reddit to show up so it wouldn’t just be her family in the room.”
The proposal reached a magical moment when Loechler’s animated self tossed the engagement ring to his real-life self, and then he went down on one knee to propose to his girlfriend, who is a cardiologist.
