Whethertheir children are young or already grown, parents across the world greeted with glee the news that PBS has finally canceled Caillou, an animated show about a bald young boy, after 20 years on the air.

(For the record, Chouette Publishing, the Montreal company that created Caillou, says that the character was initially envisioned as a 9-month-old baby and remained hairless when he grew older to maintain visual continuity.)


I think caillou is not cancelled because of his CGI reboot, and his show was on cartoonito. Also he aired Caillou: Rosie the Giant, But I am gave him last changes to not ruined his childhood like he did that on pbs kids.


Wow. You demonstrate a shocking opinion lacking in perspective and reason. For many years I have been horrified and mystified about that shows existence. An absolute train wreck of misguided bad behavior and worse parenting. Strange that you make the above excuses, instead of just saying that the parents could have consistently offered a healthy solution, and maybe he could learn to become a decent human. And children watching could learn something worth learning.


My brother looked forward to Sesame Street when he was in Kindergarten, and to Wild Kratts and Odd Squad during fifth grade. I looked forward to Arthur, The Electric Company, WordGirl, ZOOM, Cyberchase, and Maya and Miguel during my third and fourth grade years. As younger kids, we looked forward to Mister Rogers Neighborhood.

Caillou is a primary character/subject for several GoAnimate-focused YouTube channels. He is a parody character of the canon character, Caillou, from the PBS Kids series, "Caillou". He is generally regarded as the primary antagonist of the entire world. Some People pronounces his name "kayloo" "kai-ou and the normal one "caillou"


He first appeared in African Vultures Caillou Gets Grounded series. He is based off the character of the same name from the Canadian children's TV show that also shares the same name. Caillou is usually portrayed as a scheming troublemaker who often gets caught disrupting class, skipping school or important events, going to Chuck E. Cheese's, lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, terrorism, or playing pranks on his siblings. Usually, he is punished by being grounded (usually for absurdly long periods of time) or a Punishment Day, which consists of various different and often extreme punishments done successively.


Caillou's canonical age and birthdate place him at 30 years old, though his age seems to vary depending on channel or circumstance, Caillou was 4 years old when his Original PBS TV series first premiered back in 1997. Taking into his current enrollment in a school, the fact that he's sent back from 12th grade in "Caillou gets held back" videos, and the fact that there's often a graduate forever card included in "Behavior Day" videos, we can assume Caillou is actually anywhere from 0-100 years old. However, his mannerisms, behavior, voice and other details across various videos indicate he could be much younger.


Caillou's appearance remains remarkably consistent across all channels and videos he appears in. He wears a yellow t-shirt with red trim and navy-blue shorts, as well as red shoes with white socks which have a single red band across their top. Earlier GoAnimate videos might depict him with medium-length brown hair, though newer depictions more often depict him as bald, as he is canonly. He may have a high-pitched children's voice, or he may have a much deeper older male voice, depending on the GoAnimator. He is usually depicted as slightly shorter than the adults.


There's no logical reason as to why he's always bald. In the show, it's likely because he is very young. However, for some reason, in a lot of Go-Animate videos he's portrayed as much older and still bald. A lot of speculation said that he might've had cancer or alopecia, but this was a misconception that was debunked officially.


Hi everyone



This is a bit random and I hope I'm okay to post here as it has the most people responding



I bought some books to read to my daughter. I'm learning French and want to practice with her at night. They're the Caillou books, about a little boy with a bald head.



I thought they were in French, as in the French spoken in France.



Someone's just told me that they come from Canada and the French isn't the same, it's Qubcois.



Aibu to be confused? Does anyone know what kind of French is used?



Link to one of the books:




Thanks in advance for any help xx


I wouldn't worry, there is not a huge difference between the written dialects/languages (the main difference is the oral accent); there will be some different vocabulary particularly colloquialisms, also greetings. The grammar in a children's book will be the same.


The books will be absolutely fine for your daughter. The differences are more in accent and spoken French, with a few vocabulary differences too.



You would presumably read British and American books to a child learning English? This is the same thing.
