Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
pinkarray Caillou is a pre-school show about a little 4-year-old boy and his daily life. The events are typical of everyday life from having siblings born to eating food you don't like, to having rough days. It's typical in every kid's life but the kid can react harshly to them. Now, when I was 4, I was a sweet kid, which most 4 year olds typically are until they grow older where they may become brats.Caillou is a rude boy who lies, picks on his sister, and says naughty words (picked up by someone), which is basically things I don't like to see little kids doing nor understand. These days, kids are more mature than they should be. Despite contrary belief that 4 year olds are rude, this boy can do and say things that makes him a mean person. Rosie is two years old, who also cries, does things she is told not to do, and ruins Caillou's playtime, whom I also don't like and is forgettable.So, why is he named Caillou anyway? Why is he bald? The story is uninteresting, it just shows typical days and maybe even with friends and disapproval. The drawings and animation is bad.And I forgot to mention the mom and dad, who do nothing to punish Caillou nor help him out, which every kid gets when misbehaved. The opening is unrealistic, none of the kids in the framing device are even interesting, and voice acting done for Rosie doesn't even sound like a toddler. I wasn't even that interested in the show when I was little.Avoid this, especially if you do not like little kids misbehaving.
qubit01 This show seems deliberately designed to teach kids that they should be greedy, disrespectful, whiny, entitled little sh!ts and they will get whatever they want from gullible, drugged- out, uncaring hippie parents who won't ever discipline them. I say this is deliberate because we all know that liberals hate discipline and order, and want to believe everyone is a special snowflake who is entitled to anything they want from life just because they graced the universe with their existence. Sorry, but this little girly- voiced puke needs a spanking.I mean, the writers and producers must know that the target audience is going to imitate every cartoon character they see right? And what they see is this whining, screaming, disrespectful, privileged, mean little puke crying and demanding and throwing things and calling people names until his useless, apparently doped out parents give him what he wants.My child was just born, but I'll be darned if she will ever watch this show. Oddly enough my wife, who often acts like a spoiled five year old and is liberal as the day is long, likes this show. Go figure.
Michael Cohen As you can see, Caillou is a great show for preschoolers and for grown-ups to let their Inner Child out. It's great for people who are taking Child Care courses so that while watching it, they can observe what Caillou is doing and how he explores the world around him.After all, Parents, Grandparents and Babysitters, would find this show interesting for 2-6 year old children and how they can learn from what he sees and he thinks. It is a better affirmation to a child to understand what Caillou has learned.Overall, this show is great for preschoolers and to the grown-ups who look after the children, will sure going to be loved to this child who dreams of growing up in every story presented.
info-36-866636 I only logged on here after having to endure a Caillou episode last night with my 3 year old. This show has absolutely NO educational value. I'm shocked that this is allowed on Treehouse. This child sets no example for your children. Last night's episode was laced with the word "stupid" now I can only hope that at the end there was some kind of message but the amount of times that the word was used likely defeated the purpose. I am looking for a way to block this show on Netflix. This show is not suitable for children and should be taken off the air. If there was a petition to sign, I would sign it in a heart beat. WORST Children's SHOW EVER.
