Director Statement

This program grew from two separate ideas. A young friend of a friend was watching TV where a cartoon depicted eating "people soup." Appalled, I thought, gee, there should be something better for kids to watch. About that same time, an artist friend painted charactatures of alpacas, one being based on an actual surfing alpaca in South America.

Thus the idea of real hand puppets performing meaningful scenarios came to be. This film is a part of the barnyard group idea featuring "letters" written to Lorelai and her wise and funny answers.
