A Cinematic Valentine’s Day

What’s more romantic than dinner and a movie? Wait! Before you answer, let me make one tiny adjustment. What’s more romantic than dinner and a movie in Minecraft? Nothing! That’s why I invited my beloved team to spend Valentine’s Day in the Overworld. A feast was provided, but since no movie theatres or television sets were available we had to provide the entertainment ourselves. As we chowed down on Bridget Jones’ blue soup, Scott Pilgrim’s garlic bread, and a bucket full of Titanic ice cubes, we each reenacted some of our favorite and most romantic scenes from the world of fiction. Cristina Anderca, would you like to kick us off? There seems to be a lot of commotion coming from your cubicle.  

One of the pups is a bit shy, but still friendly

Well that certainly explains the howling, but my homework remains at large. I wonder if Sophie Austin has something equally adorable and friendly in store. She’s always so kind and un-dangerous. I’ll just make myself comfortable with all these puppies and pay no regard to fire safety, because why would I?  

Sophie, I believe I specifically asked you to make something cool. But I am really glad you turned up the heat instead! Keep not taking my advice, it will get you far in life. 

Speaking of me, I adore a love story with a happy ending. And if it’s packaged in a fairy tale, all the better! This Valentine’s Day, I wanted to take the opportunity to highlight some of the most groundbreaking, innovative, and romantic storybook romances of our time. What better way to pay homage than to bring them to life in the Overworld! Or should I say – Ogreworld? Who needs to send Valentine’s Day cards when they can put jokes like that out in the world, am I right? Probably not. While I consider my life choices, please enjoy this blocky tribute to the grand love stories courtesy of Shrek & Fiona, Donkey & Dragon, and Puss in Boots & Kitty Softpaws.  

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at Mojang Studios! Now if you’ll excuse me, these flowers and chocolates won’t deliver themselves to Fairy Godmother.
