Caillou is an children's television series which aired on Nickelodeon – with the first episode airing on the former channel on September 2, 1996 – until the fourth season. After that, it moved to NickToons for season five. The series finale aired on July 29, 2017. It also aired on Disney Channel and Disney XD.

Based on the books by Hélène Desputeaux,[1][2] it focuses on a four-year-old boy named Caillou who is fascinated by the world around him. The series was produced by the Nickelodeon Productions.

In 2023, it was announced that the show would be rebooted. It was originally set to premiere on Paramount Plus with 52 11-minute episodes some time in 2023, but ultimately began streaming on February 15, 2024, with a batch of seven episodes.[3]

Plot[edit]

Caillou lives with his mother, father, and younger sister, Rosie. He has many adventures with his family and friends, and uses his imagination in every episode.

Each episode in seasons 1 through 3 has a theme and is divided into several short sections that mix animation, puppet skits, and video of live-action children in real-life situations. In seasons 4 and 5, the episodes are divided into three short sections; the puppet segment was dropped, alongside the "Real Kids" version of the segment.

During the first season, many of the stories in the animated version began with a grandmother (who is also the show's narrator) introducing the story to her grandchildren, then reading the story from a book. Starting in the second season, the narrator and grandmother is an unseen character.

Characters[edit]

Major characters[edit]

Caillou[edit]

Caillou (meaning pebble or stone in English), nicknamed by himself The Prince of Imagination,[4] is the title character of the show. Caillou was first voiced by Bryn McAuley from 1996 to 2000, then Jaclyn Linetsky in 2000 until 2003, and then, due to Linetsky's death, Annie Bovaird from 2003 to 2010. Caillou was first shown in the episode "Caillou Makes Cookies", which aired in 1996.

Caillou is an imaginative four-year-old[5] boy with a love for forms of transportive machinery such as rocket ships and airplanes. A dreamer, Caillou is inclined to frequent dream sequences in some episodes, visualizing his daydreams and wishes, and many episodes describe his normal daily experiences with his parents, friends, and neighbours. Caillou particularly loves his stuffed dinosaur, Rexy, and teddy bear, Teddy, along with his pet cat Gilbert, all of whom are depicted as puppets in segments featured in the earlier episodes. He is Boris and Doris’ son as well as Rosie's older brother.

Caillou's family[edit]

File:Caillou's family.gif
Caillou and his family from left to right: Rosie, Daddy, Caillou, Mommy
  • Rosie (French name: Mousseline) – Caillou's lively younger sister and Boris and Doris’ daughter who is a typical toddler. She is two years old.[5] She always wants to take part in the same activities as Caillou. In later seasons of the series, she becomes more talkative and independent. She wears a blue dress, red socks and blue Mary Jane shoes. Rosie fights with Caillou for some reasons, but they still love each other. She appears to be the only family member with red hair. Rosie was first voiced by Brigid Tierney, then Jesse Vinet.
  • Doris[5]/Mommy – Caillou and Rosie's mother as well as Boris’ wife and Grandma and Grandpa's daughter-in-law. She is a busy homemaker most of the time but is seen to work in an office, as well. Caillou occasionally helps his mother with different chores, and she often takes time to involve Caillou and his friends in activities such as crafts and baking. She is predominantly dressed in a red blouse with yellow trim, blue headband, ankle-length blue jeans and blue shoes with green soles. Voiced by Jennifer Seguin.
  • Boris[5]/Daddy – Caillou and Rosie's father as well as Doris’ husband. He wears a green sweater with a red trim with blue jeans. In the episode "Caillou The Chef" he says he once worked at a restaurant and made pizza.[6] He and Caillou occasionally work on projects around the house together. He is voiced by Pat Fry.
  • Gilbert – Caillou's pet cat. In the puppet segments, he is shown to be knowledgeable about things which are foreign to Rexy and Teddy.
  • Grandma – Caillou and Rosie's paternal grandmother as well as Doris’ mother-in-law. Grandma is a very active lady who loves the arts and the outdoors. She passes that love onto Caillou. Grandma often comes up with creative ideas to solve Caillou's problems. She and Caillou paint and go bird-watching together. Voiced by Pauline Little.
  • Grandpa – Caillou and Rosie's paternal[5] grandfather as well as Doris’ father-in-law. He takes Caillou on adventures, often going on walks and riding the bus throughout the town where they reside. In "Caillou's Hiding Place", he showed Caillou a hidden area inside a tree in the backyard.[7] In the episode "Caillou Goes Camping", he and Caillou camp in the backyard. He is Daddy's father and loves to tell stories about when Calliou's father was a little boy. He wears a blue shirt. Voiced by George Morris.

Caillou's friends and neighbours[edit]

  • Mr. Hinkle (French name: Monsieur Lajoie) – Caillou's neighbour, introduced in the 1996 episode "Caillou's Not Afraid Anymore". He has a gold tooth. In the episode "Farmer for the Day", it is stated that his first name is Paul.
  • Leo – A boy who started out as a bully in the 1997 episode "Caillou at Daycare", but quickly befriended Caillou in the same episode. They have been inseparable since. He is of Jewish faith and celebrates Hanukkah (stated in Caillou's Holiday Movie). Voiced by Johanne Garneau from 1996 to 2003, Vince Davies in Caillou's Holiday Movie, Jonathan Koensgen from 2006 to 2008 and Graeme Jokic in 2010.
  • Clementine – Clementine was the first to befriend Caillou in the 1997 episode "Caillou Goes to Day Care". She can get rather bossy for some reasons, but all in all she is pretty understanding. She is of African-Canadian descent. Caillou has a crush on her, as indicated in "Caillou's Valentines" (Season 4, Episode 8). She is voiced by Brigid Tierney and Sophie Uretsky.
  • Sarah – Caillou's friend, whom he first met in "Caillou Goes Around the Block". She is of Chinese descent and celebrates Chinese New Year. She has a cousin in an episode where she invites Caillou to celebrate Chinese New Year. In another she invites him to school for "Bring Your Younger Siblings to School Day" because she has no siblings. Sarah has a pet cat named Olly and a dog named Murphy. Sarah is voiced by Amanda Tilson.
  • André – A redheaded boy, André is introduced in the episode "Caillou's Big Friend" and usually wears red sandals. According to the song "Days of the Week", released on the Caillou music CD Caillou and Friends, Caillou plays with him every Saturday. André enjoys biking and soccer.
  • Julie – Caillou's and Rosie's teenage babysitter. She has blonde hair in a ponytail, and enjoys playing with Caillou and Rosie. Voiced by Holly Gauthier-Frankel.
  • Jason and Jeffrey – Identical twin brothers who are of Hispanic descent. They both enjoy eating pizza. Initially, they wore identical clothes. By Season 4, though, Jason began wearing a shirt with inverted colours so it's easier to tell them apart. They are both in Caillou's playschool class. The first episode they appeared in was "New House, New Neighbors".
  • Billy – Clementine's older brother. He is usually seen playing in a band with his friends or playing sports. Voiced by Michael Caloz in Season 1.
  • Miss Martin – Caillou's preschool teacher. She has red hair and wears red overalls with a long-sleeved white shirt. According to the episode "A Surprise for Ms. Martin" her birthday is in June. Her first name is Ann; this was stated in "Caillou Goes to Daycare". Voiced by Ellen David.

  • Emma – A girl in Caillou's playschool class who dislikes loud noises, wearing red.[8] It is stated in an episode that she has Type 1 Diabetes.[9]
  • Xavier – A boy in Caillou's playschool class who has brown hair and wears blue overalls.

The puppets[edit]

The puppet segments were used only on the Nickelodeon and Toon Disney broadcasts of Caillou from 1999 to 2004 as continuity to fill time usually taken up by commercial breaks during the original Teletoon broadcasts; later episodes on PBS did not include the puppet segment continuity.

  • Gilbert – Caillou's pet cat. He is the leader of the group. He has greyish-blue fur with black stripes and loathes dogs with a passion. He especially dislikes the bulldog in the neighbourhood. In the puppet segments of the show, Gilbert often consists odes. Puppeteered by Bob Stutt.
  • Rexy – Caillou's toy dinosaur. Bluish in colour and speaks in a somewhat foreign accent, he is very playful. Rexy has the incapability to give a "good" hug. Rexy is noted for being rather pedantic. He is often teased about his speech impediment, and tends to react violently to any mention of it. Puppeteered by Pier Parquette and voiced by Rick Jones.
  • Teddy – An old teddy bear that once belonged to Caillou's father, and now belongs to Caillou, Teddy is reasonable and nice. He is somewhat pessimistic, but all in all, he just needs a hug. Puppeteered by Frank Meschkuleit.
  • Deedee – A brown squirrel, she has a bushy tail, and is often seen playing with Rexy. Deedee first appeared as a baby squirrel when Rexy found on the ground lost from her family. Deedee lives in Caillou's backyard where most of the puppet segments take place. She never appeared in Season 3. Puppeteered by Wendy Welch.

Production[edit]

Caillou books have been published by Chouette Publishing Inc. since 1989.[13]

The series was originally broadcast in English. Caillou was designed primarily for children. It was created by child developmental psychologists. In 1996, 65 five-minute episodes of Caillou were aired in US and in selected markets worldwide, including the US. In 1999 there were 40 30-minute episodes of the show, containing a mixture of the five-minute episodes plus new stories, songs, real kids segment and puppets. This was followed by another 16 30-minute episodes containing all-new stories on September 2004. Caillou started attending preschool and there were new themes and a new opening. The show was renewed for a second and third season in 2003,[14] and later a fourth season. The fifth season was animated by South Africa-based studio Clockwork Zoo.[15]

On November 14, 2012, the fourth season of the series was pre-sold to Disney XD in the United States.[16]

Reception and controversy[edit]

Critical response[edit]

Caillou initially received generally positive reviews from television critics and parents of young children. The staff of Entertainment Weekly wrote that its protagonist "embellish[es] everything he sees with his rich imagination."[17] The New York Times wrote "Caillou looks at the world through the eyes of its 4-year-old namesake [and] takes life's not-always-so-simple lessons and presents them in a way preschoolers can understand."[18] while Lynne Heffley of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "each animated episode is an unusually realistic reflection of a preschooler's daily fun, family interaction, challenges, disappointments and misunderstandings as Caillou grows and learns to make sense of his world", also describing it as "a virtual guidebook for parents and caregivers".[19]

Controversy[edit]

As the years progressed, however, the show drew criticism for the perceived incorrectness of the lessons gleaned through numerous events, mostly from the first season, as well as some episodes from the second season and third season. In a National Post column, writer Tristin Hopper identified Caillou to be "quite possibly the world's most universally reviled children's program." A common criticism towards the series is that the titular character behaves like a spoiled child and suffers no consequences from his parents for his behavior.[20] One example of Caillou's bad behavior is in the episode Caillou Joins the Circus, in which he throws a tantrum after discovering the postponement of a planned circus event. Another episode, Big Brother Caillou, features Caillou being jealous of the level of attention received by his baby sister Rosie to the point where he pinches her; most considered this to be a minor improvement over the original book the episode was based on, in which Caillou bit Rosie. When the show started airing on Nickelodeon in 2021, the pinching scene was cut out.

Hopper once said: "Unlike most children's programming, Caillou makes almost no attempt to educate its young audience. There are no veiled math problems, spelling lessons or morality tales; it's just calm, non-threatening, bright-coloured people navigating everyday tasks." These criticisms of the show's titular character have been echoed on online platforms.[21] Last Week Tonight host John Oliver referenced Caillou in a comparison of boring things against net neutrality, going on to insult Caillou for its themes.[22]

As Caillou appeared as a much younger child in the original line of children's books, he originally had no hair.[23] When illustrators found that adding hair made him look unrecognizable, it was decided that Caillou would never have hair.[24][25] This decision led to an internet meme asserting that the protagonist has cancer or pediatric alopecia.[26]

Broadcast[edit]

Caillou first aired on Nickelodeon on September 2, 1996, and was the first show aired on the English-language Disney Channel on November 11 of that year.[27] The series was moved to NickToons in 2008. Caillou made its US debut on Toon Disney (now Disney XD) on September 6, 1999, and ran on that network until December 27, 2020. Reruns and New Episodes started airing on NickToons on its launch on May 1, 2002.

On January 5, 2021, Nickelodeon announced on Twitter that they would no longer broadcast reruns of Caillou.[28] Deadline Hollywood reported that many parents and viewers celebrated the news of the cancellation, as they have complained that Caillou had taught their kids bad lessons and encouraged them to be bratty and whiny.[29] On August 16, 2021, it was announced that Nick@Nite had acquired the US-broadcast rights to the show after Nickelodeon's rights expired, with reruns of the series airing on Nick@Nite from September 13, 2021 to May 4, 2022 in its HD remastered form.[30][31] Nickelodeon ultimately sold the rights for US$6.4 million.[32] However, NickToons continues to broadcast reruns since February 5, 2018. Disney XD currently retains the physical media and streaming rights for the original series. Paramount Plus acquired global streaming rights for the reboot series (via Paramount Plus) as of 2022.

Home video releases[edit]

In the United States, Caillou videocassettes and DVDs have been released by Nickelodeon DVD (distributed through Paramount Home Entertainment).

Music from the series[edit]

In 2003, an album titled Caillou's Favorite Songs was released by Paramount DVD under the Nickelodeon Records imprint.[33]

Revival[edit]

YouTube series[edit]

Beginning in late 2016, a new Caillou web series for YouTube premiered on the official Caillou channel and was later released onto Amazon Prime.[34] These shorts are mainly remakes of older episodes and are produced by WildBrain Spark Studios, a subsidiary of WildBrain that produces original content for their WildBrain Spark network. However, the videos were not made available to YouTube users in the United States until 2021.[35]

In August 2021, it was announced that NickRewind licensed the series for broadcast on US television.[36]

Reboot and specials[edit]

In September 2021, WildBrain announced the production of five new 45-minute specials based on the franchise for NickToons[37] These specials are the first Caillou related media to be produced in CGI animation, and will[needs update] focus on Christmas, Halloween, Family Day, Summer Vacation and National Anti-Bullying Day. The specials will be produced by WildBrain Studios, with animation provided by IoM Media Ventures.[38]

In June 2022, WildBrain announced they teamed with Paramount's Paramount Global Streaming Serivce, Paramount Plus, to produce a new series of the show, consisting of 52 11-minute episodes to go along with those specials.[39] It was set to premiere in 2023, with IoM also providing animation production as the specials are. Despite the specials being released on Peacock, it is now confirmed to stream on February 15, 2024.[40]

The first special: Rosie the Giant, which focuses on the effects of bullying, simultaneously premiered in Canada and the United States on Nickelodeon. and Paramount Plus respectively on July 10, 2022.[41]

The second special: Adventures with Grandma and Grandpa, which focuses on Caillou visiting his grandparents for a sleepover at their beach house, premiered on Paramount Plus on August 25, 2022.[42]

The third special: The Bravest Wolf Boy, which focuses on Halloween, premiered on Paramount Plus on October 15, 2022.

The four special: The Silver Knight, which focuses on imaginative play, premiered on Paramount Plus on November 13, 2022.

The fifth special, Caillou's Perfect Christmas, which focuses on Christmas, premiered on Paramount Plus on December 2, 2022.
