There's nothing not to love in this video by Mushanga. The song, of course, is Melanie by Toto. The animation is by Mushanga. The end result is a splash of late '90s music with a liberal dose of WoW.
The fine points of the video are up to each viewer's interpretation. In my opinion, though, Mushanga has nailed the theme of Toto's ballad incredibly well. The music video is sweet, endearing, and conveys that epic romantic feel.
Mushanga is competing in the European Memories of BlizzCon video contest. You can check out his video on the contest page, as well as vote for him to be awarded a trip to BlizzCon in October.

The only "Melanie" song I recognize is Weird Al's stalker-gram.

His entry for the contest is freaking hilarious!
I just wonder how somebody can have so much imagination to that.
Got to hope he wins :)

Not keen on the inserting photo-faces, but even taking that into consideration, this is a beautiful and charming video.

Agreed, the real life faces are jarring. Would have been far better without those imo.

Hold on, are you telling me that Toto did songs other than "Africa??"

I watch this and I realize that I don't really have a romantic bone in my body. That's kind of sad.
I have no idea who Toto is. Evidently I was listening to angrier stuff in the late 90s. ;-p
