Customer Reviews

Even my little girls like it
I have two little girls ages 2 and 3 and they are addicted to Caillou. We are used to watching the TV show on PBS, so the puppets in between the segments took a little getting used to. My little girls watch Caillou over and over. It's nice there is something that keeps them out of trouble, for at least a little while. BTW, I don't find Caillou "Bratty" at all, and I am a certified educator so I have experiences with children of all ages.

Cartoon is excellent; kids dancing and puppets are irritating!
This video contains one or two episodes of Caillou, which is fine, but the musical interludes with kids dancing and lip-synching is horrendous! The songs are awful, and the choreography is lousy.

The puppets used to be on the show on PBS, but they aren't anymore. We have another Caillou DVD (The Creative) that is MUCH longer and doesn't have any kids or puppets. I'm not sure how to tell which of the other videos contain them...

Puppets and Live Action Ruin It
My three-year-old daughter loves Caillou. We rented this one from the library, the first one we've seen with puppets and live segments. My daughter was irate, and from my adult perspective the quality of those bits is not nearly as high as with the cartoon portions.
