uschi and desiree asked me where the word butterfly came from.  i did a little research and thought others might be interested in the answers as well.

also, doesn't this movie look great? (found via eendar)

That movie does look great - had not heard of it, I am a big fan of stop motion.

Thanks for the info! The image is so beautiful... quite symbolic for the season as nature begins to change! Beauty surrounds thee...

thanks a lot for the research.Great to know more. I wondered for such a long time...
I like "little soul" a lot. So many different little souls!! And I really love to say "papillon". A beautiful word.
And Madame Tutli-Putli is stunning. I wonder if the film will make it to Germany but I surely will try to get it!!!!
