Caillou is great.......2006-12-21

We love Caillou and this dvd is a great addition to our collection!

Distressed!.......2006-11-18

I felt my own distress level growing to an intolerable level as the poor little dinosaur realized that he came to Caillou with 'nothing', no family. I had to turn off the dvd. I am the proud grandmother of a 19 month old who was adopted at birth through an open adoption, a helpful aunt to a 19 month old nephew who was conceived with donor sperm, and friend to a 19 month old adopted girl who was born in China. In this day and age, when families are created through laboratory technology, surrogate mothers, donated sperm, open adoption, foreign adoption (isn't it wonderful!), I felt that this video's handling of a sensitive topic was intolerable. The animations and simple stories are just right for a young audience, but the handling of a sensitive topic by a set of puppets was downright distasteful. p.s. I am assuming that the issue of where the dinosaur came from was resolved in some way, but I couldn't watch to the end.

DVD is twice as long as VHS.......2006-01-21

Video = 3 stars
DVD = 5 stars

My daughter enjoys this cartoon much more than any other video.

She doesn't particularly care for the puppets - but that is not a big deal - they are only about 30% or the show. The live action segments are pretty good. The Caillou parts (cartoons) are very good.

The DVD probably will cost you more but you get two vhs length show in one dvd.

Another Decent Caillou DVD.......2005-11-07

After a long hiatus, a new Caillou DVD is out. It's generally up to the standard of the past releases, but doesn't really contain much new or exciting in the way of special features.

The DVD is divided into a section about Caillou and his family and a section about Caillou and animals/pets. Viewers will see Caillou taking pictures with his Dad's old camera, meeting Gilbert for the first time, picking strawberries, visiting a fire station and learning about dogs that have jobs. (To describe a few of the segments.) The puppet segments feature Teddy and Gilbert helping Rexy out when he's upset because he doesn't have a family and then later Teddy and Rexy dressing up as dogs. The normal musical and real-kids segments are also interwoven throughout (for those that like these, and they're easily skipped past if you or your kids don't). Oh, and don't worry about whiny/bratty Caillou --- he's hardly anywhere to be found on here.

The special features are character biographies (normally shown at the end of the TV show), Parents' Information (a few screens to read --- taken from the website), coloring pages (only for those with DVD-ROM) and a color-matching game. The picture and sound quality are great --- the picture is full-screen as normal and there are also close-captions (no subtitles). Also, select the PBSKids logo on the main menu for a cool PBSKids promo spot.

Cute.......2006-11-11

My 4-year old son loves Caillou and these DVD's are his absolute favorites of the Caillou collection. Great for quiet time for kids, the DVD's seem to really engage them and settle them down. Also have some good lessons in them. Of course there is some of the classic "Caillou whining" but what kid doesn't whine! I recommend these to anyone with young children.
