great for 2 and 4 year olds.......2007-08-23
Caillou has a bit of an annoying voice at first, but if you can get over that it's really quite a sweet boy. I agree the puppets inbetween episodes is pretty boring for the 2, but the 4 is moderately interested. Calillou is 4 and has a younger sister around 1, so it fits our family well. I like these quite a bit, definitely worth getting if you are looking for a calm "cartoon".
Caillous Extras.......2007-08-13
My 2 year old daughter loves Caillou, but wasn't very interested in the puppets that take up at least 1/2 of this video time. Still satisfied the Caillou fix, though!
Grat for little ones.......2007-08-01
My two year old daughter can't get enough of Caillou so this DVD fills the need. She really seems to enjoy watching it over and over.

My kids love Caillou. Caillou goes on many adventures and teaches lessons along the way. Keeps kids attention for the whole movie! Great!

Rude little boy.......2006-03-18
Caillou frequently talks to his parents and others in a rude, bossy tone, and they let him get away with it.
If this is the kind of behavior you want your child to model, go for it.
Caillou is not for us.
Caillou's Train Trip & Other Adventures is a hit!.......2005-10-24
My son received a Calliou DVD as a gift and he liked it so much, I thought I'd get him another one. So I picked this one and it's another hit. He really enjoys Caillou. If he's happy, then I'm happy!
Cailou Train DVD.......2005-07-05
It is great. They watch it over and over.
I actually like it despite not particulary liking Cailoiu
My 2 Yr old LOVES Caillou.......2005-03-31
I think Caillou is a great way for kids to learn how to express their emotions. Some days Caillou gets to do what he wants and others he has to respect mommy and daddy's needs. I also enjoy seeing how the parents react to Caillou with patience and understanding. There is some whining and tantrums from Caillou, but overall it's a great tool for kids. Caillou is a typical 4 year old. I find the show entertaining and by watching it with my son, we often pretend we are the characters and act out the scenes. Really a lot of fun! I definitely recommend this video to kids 2 and up.
I am sick to death of Caillou!.......2004-08-11
Yes! I can't stand Caillou! (Pronounced KAH-you) But I give this DVD 4 stars because my 19 month old daughter LOVES it. And when I say LOVES it, I don't just mean she'll sit and watch it when I put it on, I mean she BEGS me to put it on. We can be sitting and watching the news or the Simpsons and she'll wander in and say "Caillou tv?" Our daycare provider lets the kids watch it on PBS and she had to teach my daughter that when the credits come on, that means the show is OVER!! "Caillou ALL Done!"
That being said, this is a good DVD for the toddler-to-preschool set. Like all the Caillou material that I have seen (we also own Caillou's Treasure Hunt), the messages are basic and not condescending, the relationships and stories between characters are realistic and not preachy, and Caillou does real-life stuff like take a train trip (he's excited at first but gets scared when the HUGE train pulls in, then has fun exploring with Daddy), and decide what toys he might sell at a yard sale ("But then I won't have any to play with!"). And between the animated Caillou segments are puppet characters and "music videos" of real kids doing the kinds of things that Caillou does in the cartoons.
It's also a fairly long DVD. I haven't let my daughter watch the whole thing straight through, but it seems to be over an hour long. And she stays engrossed for 20 minutes at a stretch: long enough to get a load of laundry done or prepare dinner!
But PLEASE don't make ME watch it anymore!!! The theme song is just so catchy....
