The series is based on the books by [[Hélène Desputeaux]].<ref name="RAAV2015"/><ref name="Devoir8-10-15"/> It centers on a 4-year-old boy named Caillou who is fascinated by the world around him. ==Plot== Caillou lives in a blue house at 17 Pine Street (as mentioned in the episode "Where I Live") with his mother, father, and his younger sister, Rosie. He has many adventures with his family and friends and uses his imagination in every episode. Each episode in Seasons 1–3 has a theme and is divided into several short sections that mix animation, puppet skits, and video of kids in real-life situations. In Seasons 4–5, episodes are divided in 3 short sections; the puppet segment was dropped, along with 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. Since the second season, the narrator/grandmother is an [[unseen character]]. ==Characters== The following lists every character in the show. There are 23 major characters and currently 66 minor characters, making a total of 89 characters. ===Major characters=== <!--Keep the characters' sections brief. Every minor detail about the characters does not need to be included, as this is not the Caillou Wikia.--> ====Caillou==== '''Caillou''' (''pebble'' or ''stone'' in [[French language|French]]), nicknamed '''The Prince of Imagination''',<ref>{{cite web |url=http://shop.pbskids.org/caillou-stars-red-trick-or-treat-bag |website=PBSkids.org |title=Caillou & Stars Red Trick-Or-Treat Bag |quote=Caillou is surrounded by stars on a personalized swag bag that's ready for Halloween treats.

Caillou was first voiced by [[Bryn McAuley]] from 1997 through 2000, then [[Jaclyn Linetsky]] in 2000 through 2003, and then, due to Linetsky's death, [[Annie Bovaird]] from 2003 through 2010. Caillou was first shown in the episode "Caillou Makes Cookies", which aired in 1997. Caillou is an average, imaginative, bald four-year-old boy with a love for forms of transportive machinery such as rocket ships and airplanes. A dreamer, Caillou is prone to frequent dream sequences in some episodes, visualizing his daydreams and hopes, and many episodes chronicle 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. ====Caillou's family==== [[File:Caillou's family.gif|frame|Caillou and his family from left to right: Rosie, Daddy, Caillou, Mommy|150px]] * '''Mommy''' – Caillou's mother.

In the puppet segments of the program, Gilbert often composes odes. * '''Rexy''' – Caillou's toy dinosaur. Bluish in colour and speaks in a somewhat Hispanic accent, he is very playful. Rexy has the incapability to give a "good" hug. Rexy is noted for being rather pedantic. His [[speech impediment]] has been the scourge of his existence; he is often teased about it, and tends to react violently to any mention of it. * '''Teddy''' – An old teddy bear that once belonged to Caillou's daddy, and now belongs to Caillou, Teddy is reasonable, cute and brown. 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.

In 1997, 65 five-minute episodes of ''Caillou'' were aired in Canada and in selected markets worldwide, including the US, as mentioned above. In 2000 there were 40 thirty-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 thirty-minute episodes containing all-new stories in 2003. The film ''Caillou's Holiday Movie'' was released on October 7, 2003. On April 3, 2006, a new set of 20 episodes finally premiered after a three-year hiatus. Caillou started attending preschool and there were new themes and a new opening. While the original episodes were made by a South Korean company, the producers animated the new episodes in-house using [[Adobe Flash]]. On November 14, 2012, PBS Kids announced a 4th season of Caillou of 26 episodes to premiere March 11, 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://kidscreen.com/2012/11/14/dhx-media-sells-fourth-season-of-caillou-to-pbs-kids/|work=KidScreen|title=DHX Media sells fourth season of Caillou to PBS Kids}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ket.org/tvschedules/episode.php?nola=CAIU++000501|title=KET}}</ref> The year 2014 is celebrated as the franchise's 25th anniversary.

[http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/analysis-caillou-is-an-aggressively-bad-show-ruining-the-worlds-children-and-its-all-canadas-fault "Tristin Hopper: Caillou is an aggressively bad show ruining the world’s children … and it’s all Canada’s fault"]. ''[[National Post]]''. [[Postmedia Network]]. Retrieved May 7, 2017.</ref> Examples include several "I hate Caillou" pages made on [[Facebook]], posts saying that Caillou is a ripoff of [[Charlie Brown]], numerous parenting blogs criticizing the series, and petitions on [[Change.org]] for the show to stop airing.<ref name = "NationalPost"/> A common criticism towards the series is the whiny and temper-tantrum behavior of the titular character and the lack of consequences Caillou is given for it.<ref name = "NationalPost"/> As Hopper explained, "This has understandably led to theories that this is an accurate portrayal of Canadian parenting and that Canada is raising a generation of psychopaths. Or that Caillou’s parents are so blasted on Canadian weed that they are unable to summon the presence of mind necessary to properly discipline their child."<ref name = "NationalPost"/> He called the series "a toddler version of ''[[Sex and the City]]'' or ''[[Mad Men]]''," criticizing its lack of educational value: "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."<ref name = "NationalPost"/> A 2011 study conducted at the [[University of Virginia]], published in the journal ''[[Pediatrics (journal)|Pediatrics]]'', tested the show's effect on preschool-aged children's attention spans and cognitive abilities. The study had three groups of four-year-olds each engaged in activities; one group watched ''Caillou'', another watched ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', and the third group drew pictures. After nine minutes, the children were tested on mental functions; those that watched ''Caillou'' had very similar results to the group that drew pictures, both of whom performed significantly better than the group that watched the ''SpongeBob'' episode.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2011/09/08/peds.2010-1919|author=Lillard, Angeline and Jennifer Peterson|title=The Immediate Impact of Different Types of Television on Young Children's Executive Function|quote=peds.2010-1919; published ahead of print; {{doi|10.1542/peds.2010-1919}}|work=Pediatrics|year=2011|accessdate=September 12, 2011}}</ref> As Caillou appeared as a much younger child in the original line of children's books, he originally had no hair.

The series is based on the books by [[Hélène Desputeaux]].<ref name="RAAV2015"/><ref name="Devoir8-10-15"/> It centers on a 4-year-old boy named Caillou who is fascinated by the world around him. ==Plot== Caillou lives in a blue house at 17 Pine Street (as mentioned in the episode "Where I Live") with his mother, father, and his younger sister, Rosie. He has many adventures with his family and friends and uses his imagination in every episode. Each episode in Seasons 1–3 has a theme and is divided into several short sections that mix animation, puppet skits, and video of kids in real-life situations. In Seasons 4–5, episodes are divided in 3 short sections; the puppet segment was dropped, along with 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. Since the second season, the narrator/grandmother is an [[unseen character]]. ==Characters== The following lists every character in the show. There are 23 major characters and currently 66 minor characters, making a total of 89 characters. ===Major characters=== <!--Keep the characters' sections brief. Every minor detail about the characters does not need to be included, as this is not the Caillou Wikia.--> ====Caillou==== '''Caillou''' (''pebble'' or ''stone'' in [[French language|French]]), nicknamed '''The Prince of Imagination''',<ref>{{cite web |url=http://shop.pbskids.org/caillou-stars-red-trick-or-treat-bag |website=PBSkids.org |title=Caillou & Stars Red Trick-Or-Treat Bag |quote=Caillou is surrounded by stars on a personalized swag bag that's ready for Halloween treats.

Caillou was first voiced by [[Bryn McAuley]] from 1997 through 2000, then [[Jaclyn Linetsky]] in 2000 through 2003, and then, due to Linetsky's death, [[Annie Bovaird]] from 2003 through 2010. Caillou was first shown in the episode "Caillou Makes Cookies", which aired in 1997. Caillou is an average, imaginative, bald four-year-old boy with a love for forms of transportive machinery such as rocket ships and airplanes. A dreamer, Caillou is prone to frequent dream sequences in some episodes, visualizing his daydreams and hopes, and many episodes chronicle 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. ====Caillou's family==== [[File:Caillou's family.gif|frame|Caillou and his family from left to right: Rosie, Daddy, Caillou, Mommy|150px]] * '''Mommy''' – Caillou's mother.

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.

The original books were also in French. ''Caillou'' was designed primarily for [[toddler]]s. It was created by child developmental psychologists. In 1997, 65 five-minute episodes of ''Caillou'' were aired in Canada and in selected markets worldwide, including the US, as mentioned above. In 2000 there were 40 thirty-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 thirty-minute episodes containing all-new stories in 2003. The film ''Caillou's Holiday Movie'' was released on October 7, 2003. On April 3, 2006, a new set of 20 episodes finally premiered after a three-year hiatus. Caillou started attending preschool and there were new themes and a new opening. While the original episodes were made by a South Korean company, the producers animated the new episodes in-house using [[Adobe Flash]]. On November 14, 2012, PBS Kids announced a 4th season of Caillou of 26 episodes to premiere March 11, 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://kidscreen.com/2012/11/14/dhx-media-sells-fourth-season-of-caillou-to-pbs-kids/|work=KidScreen|title=DHX Media sells fourth season of Caillou to PBS Kids}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ket.org/tvschedules/episode.php?nola=CAIU++000501|title=KET}}</ref> The year 2014 is celebrated as the franchise's 25th anniversary.

[http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/analysis-caillou-is-an-aggressively-bad-show-ruining-the-worlds-children-and-its-all-canadas-fault "Tristin Hopper: Caillou is an aggressively bad show ruining the world’s children … and it’s all Canada’s fault"]. ''[[National Post]]''. [[Postmedia Network]]. Retrieved May 7, 2017.</ref> Examples include several "I hate Caillou" pages made on [[Facebook]], posts saying that Caillou is a ripoff of [[Charlie Brown]], numerous parenting blogs criticizing the series, and petitions on [[Change.org]] for the show to stop airing.<ref name = "NationalPost"/> A common criticism towards the series is the whiny and temper-tantrum behavior of the titular character and the lack of consequences Caillou is given for it.<ref name = "NationalPost"/> As Hopper explained, "This has understandably led to theories that this is an accurate portrayal of Canadian parenting and that Canada is raising a generation of psychopaths. Or that Caillou’s parents are so blasted on Canadian weed that they are unable to summon the presence of mind necessary to properly discipline their child."<ref name = "NationalPost"/> He called the series "a toddler version of ''[[Sex and the City]]'' or ''[[Mad Men]]''," criticizing its lack of educational value: "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."<ref name = "NationalPost"/> A 2011 study conducted at the [[University of Virginia]], published in the journal ''[[Pediatrics (journal)|Pediatrics]]'', tested the show's effect on preschool-aged children's attention spans and cognitive abilities. The study had three groups of four-year-olds each engaged in activities; one group watched ''Caillou'', another watched ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', and the third group drew pictures. After nine minutes, the children were tested on mental functions; those that watched ''Caillou'' had very similar results to the group that drew pictures, both of whom performed significantly better than the group that watched the ''SpongeBob'' episode.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2011/09/08/peds.2010-1919|author=Lillard, Angeline and Jennifer Peterson|title=The Immediate Impact of Different Types of Television on Young Children's Executive Function|quote=peds.2010-1919; published ahead of print; {{doi|10.1542/peds.2010-1919}}|work=Pediatrics|year=2011|accessdate=September 12, 2011}}</ref> As Caillou appeared as a much younger child in the original line of children's books, he originally had no hair.
