A filmmaker has rewritten the ending to Disney’s Sleeping Beauty in order to propose to his girlfriend in front of their friends and family. Lee Loechler from Massachusetts, USA, spent six months working in secret with an illustrator to edit the final scene of the 1959 princess cartoon, which is his partner’s favourite film. On 12 December Loechler took his unsuspecting girlfriend of three years, Sthuthi David, to see a showing of the film at their local cinema. The couple sat in the front row, unknown to Ms David, in the rows behind them were her friends and family, hidden in the dark. As the final scene started to play, Ms David noticed that the sleeping beauty character looked different, gradually clocking it was meant to resemble her instead.
