Caillou

***Caillou*** is an Canadian animated educational preschool TV series created by CINAR (later known as Cookie Jar Entertainment), based on the book series of the same name by Christine L'Heureux and Hélène Desputeaux. Caillou was first aired on Teletoon and its French-language counterparts in Canada (its originating North American country) in 1996 as the series became one of the 1st ever shows to air on the channel. But unlike many other countries that CINAR sold, Caillou did not air in the United States until September 6, 1999, when the series began airing on PBS Kids a year after being picked up by the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) the last year in 1998; it was re-aired on PBS Kids for many years until 2020. The show later moved to Treehouse TV in 2010, where it aired its fifth and final season. It currently re-airs on Family Jr. and Cartoonito.

The show is about a four year-old boy named Caillou, who learns about the world around him with his family (consisting of his Mom, Dad, baby sister Rosie, and pet cat Gilbert), and friends (including Leo, Clementine, Sarah, Jason and Jeffery, Andre, and many more). In PBS Kids broadcasts, puppet segments featuring Gilbert, Caillou's toy dinosaur Rexy, and Caillou's teddy bear Teddy were added. Segments involving real kids doing activities and song segments were also added. Both segments were dropped in season 4.

## Kaiju

### Year(s)

2007

An Albanian dub, called ***Kaiju***, was created by “Jess” Discographic and aired on Çufo in 2007. Just like most dubs on Çufo, the dub is unlicensed, with the dub using music and sound effects not used in the original show. The show uses subtitles for the songs like most "Jess" dubs. Only season 4 was dubbed.

The source for the episodes is from DVDs, with the found dubbed episodes being from the "Caillou, the Everyday Hero" DVD. The proof for this is that the black and white line on the top of the screen which is a sign of a bad rip.

For a while, only the intro and credits (which shows the cast for the dub) were available. However, on May 4, 2021 a user named LockerBoy uploaded the complete dub to Google Drive.

## Kayu

### Year(s)

2015-??

In 2015, a Azerbaijani dub, known as ***Kayu***, started airing on Xezer TV. Given the episodes found, it seems only Season 5 episodes were dubbed. The dub's intro is an instrumental and interestingly, it keeps the sound effects, making it the only dub using an instrumental to do so.

Very little is known about the dub and it's unknown when it stopped airing. So far, the episodes "Caillou Roars",  "Borrowed Book",  and "Fixing Mr. Bones"  have been found.

### Year(s)

2007-2012

From 2007 to 2012, a English dub using British voice actors started airing on the Cartoonito UK channel, and consisted of episodes from Season 1. The show was also available on the Italian version of the Cartoonito channel.

Reportedly, the dub only aired in the early hours of the morning, when the target audience was asleep. Before it was removed, one of it's timeslots was replaced with Cartoonito Karaoke. The show was removed from the channel on February 27, 2012.

Due to the dub's obscurity and the times it aired at, the dub is mostly lost. While the show is available on streaming services in the UK like Netflix and Amazon, and was once airing on Tiny Pop, those services used the original Canadian English audio for episodes.

There were a few clips on the Cartoonito page for the show, but due to the discontinuation of Flash, they aren't playable anymore. Even then, some reports state that the videos didn't even work (outside of the UK, at least), and its very unlikely they would've still work on the Wayback Machine.

A few samples of the dub have resurfaced over the years. A music video for the channel that has a snippet of Caillou's crying was found in May 2020. In February 2021, a few short clips of the dub were uploaded to YouTube, possibly from the Cartoonito website, however, they have been now deleted. They have currently never been revived.

?? (possibly 2000's)

Kaapo was the Yle's first finnish dub of the show that aired possibly around the 2000's, Only the intro has been found, and nothing else.

## קאיו

### Year(s)

2002-2013

A Hebrew dub, known as ***קאיו*** aired on Hop! from 2002 to 2013. Not much is known about the dub and it's mostly lost.

A few episodes from Season 4 are available on the Caillou in Hebrew YouTube channel, but the original title cards are lost and the channel hasn't been active since 2020; ironically, the episodes are not visible in Israel as well. The intros for Season 1 and 5 are available, but no episodes from those Seasons have resurfaced yet.

The Hop! website has pages with a few episodes available, but they're locked behind a paywall. The videos also can't be seen outside of Israel.

There's also a list for the cast of the dub on Ishim. Interestingly in Season 4 episodes, Caillou was actually voiced by a boy unlike most versions of the show.

## קאיו

### Year(s)

2017-??

Another Hebrew dub started airing on JimJam in 2017. The dub likely consisted of Season 5 episodes, as many JimJam channels only aired that Season.

Despite being a fairly recent dub, very little is known about this dub and unlike the Hop! dub, no footage of the dub has resurfaced yet. So far, only the cast list for the dub and a screenshot taken by a Twitter user named "fakebendor" (which shows the dub aired as late as 2018) are what remain of this dub.

## 호야네 집

### Year(s)

2000-2007

From 2000 to around 2007, EBS aired a Korean dub of Caillou, called ***호야네 집 (Hoya's House)***. It appears only Seasons 1 and 2 were dubbed. Caillou also has a different name in this dub, where he's called "Hoya".

Only Season 2 episodes have been found so far, where they can be viewed on the Korean Caillou YouTube channel  and just like the episodes of the Hop! dub, the localized title cards aren't included.

There are many Caillou DVDs released in Korea, but most use the original English version (as in Korea, the show is mainly used to teach preschoolers English). It's possible one of them has the dub on it.

Interestingly, despite the show not airing on the channel for years, the EBS website page on the show is still up.

## 까이유의 이야기 나라

### Year(s)

?? (possibly late 90's)

Around the same time as the EBS dub, a dub on Tooniverse, called ***까이유의 이야기 나라*** (loosely translates to *Caillou's Story Land)*, started airing, possibly in the late 1990s.

Very little survives of this dub, with only a few mentions in various Korean sources  and a low quality recording of the intro  (which is subtitled) surviving.

### Year(s)

?? (possibly 2012-2013)

 A Romanian dub of the show is known to have existed, and aired in the period of 2012-2013 on Minimax. No footage has been found online and the only surviving proof that this show aired is from old Minimax schedules from 2012.

The dub was recorded in Zone Studio Oradea. Actress Carina Chereji was said to participate in this dub, as stated by this article.

## Coinneach

A Scottish Gaelic dub, called ***Coinneach***, aired on an unknown channel in Scotland sometime in 2000, then again for a brief time from late 2006 until mid 2007 on BBC Two Scotland (Now called BBC Scotland) as part of their CBeebies block. 21 episodes were dubbed according to DigiGuide, all from Season 1.

However in July 2022, the episodes "Caillou's Birthday Present", "Caillou is Scared of the Dark", and "Caillou Goes to the Doctor". Were both uploaded to YouTube by ScoTV Archive as their 2000 airings.

## Caio

### Year(s)

2008

A Welsh dub, called ***Caio*** aired on Cyw, the preschool block of the Welsh channel S4C in mid-2008.

Very little is known about the dub, and the only source mentioning the show ever airing on the channel is the Wikipedia page for Cyw. So far, no pages for the show have been found on Wayback Machine archives for Cyw's website

in 2023, a docplayer thing about cyw was discovered that contained mention of the dub which confirms that it exists. No footage has surfaced.

## Caillou

### Year(s)

?? (possibly mid 2000's)

Sometime in the 2000s, HTV7 aired a voice-over dub of ***Caillou***. The quality of the voice-over is very cheap, with only one person (a women) voicing all the characters and putting no emotion into it, with some parts even being off-sync.

While the date of the voice-over is unknown, it likely started airing around 2003 (as that's when the screen bug used in the video started being used) or 2005 (judging by a old schedule that mentions the show).

Only one episode of the voice-over has been found (the Season 2 episode "Try, Try Again") uploaded by a channel called Anh Nguyen.
