Mr. Poops-a-Lot

A whimsical romp starring 4 monarch butterfly caterpillars (Howard, Rita, Baby and Mr. Poops-a-Lot) and 2 young boys (Lars, age 4 and Anders, age 15 months). Guidance by my entomologist father Sam Ristich, with songs inspired by Duke Ellington and Gioachino Rossini and the greatest inspiration of all, Mother Nature. Sound track, Hi-8 shooting and Adobe Premier editing by Ruthie Ristich.

Hi Anders, How cool that you get to see your 15 month old self on YouTube. I had so much fun making this with you and Lars in my apartment and in the backyard. All you could do at the time was scream and go "uh-oh!" and laugh--since you were pre-verbal! Love to see you sometime soon....send me jpeg of you and Lars! ciao for now, Ruthie (from Boston)
