A Lego Proposal

This is just about the sweetest Lego animation I've ever seen. We all watched it together and were truly impressed with the attention to detail, the framing, the lighting, the shift of focus, the costumes/hair, the props (each food item has an inside joke for the couple). It's amazingly well done. Clearly, having a wonderful story to tell, or a very important question to ask, can take these animations to a whole new level.

It was a marriage proposal, Lego style. Chronicled the relationship of two people from when they first met (apparently wearing clothes such as those in the video) until present day.

Okay - I did know it was a marriage proposal but why make them look so different at different times? Its almost as if it was personal and not meant for my consumption - haha!!???!!??

I see your point. You'd be better off watching something absolutely meant for your consumption, then:
