Caillou
The series was originally broadcast in French in Canada, and the episodes were later translated into English. The original books were also in French. Caillou was designed primarily for toddlers. It was created by child developmental psychologists. On September 15, 1997, 13 thirty-minute episodes of Caillou were aired in Canada and in selected markets worldwide, including the US. On September 4, 2000 there were 20 30-minute episodes of the show, containing a mixture of the five-minute episodes plus new stories, songs, real kids segment and puppets. This was followed by another 13 30-minute episodes containing all-new stories on November 15, 2002. The film Caillou's Holiday Movie was released on October 7, 2003. On April 1, 2006, a new set of 20 episodes finally premiered after a three-year hiatus. Caillou started attending preschool and there were new themes and a new opening. The show was renewed for a first and second season in 2000, and then a second and third season in 2003, and later a fourth and fifth season in 2013. The fifth season was animated by South Africa-based studio Clockwork Zoo.
