Trivia[]

Caillou's crying sound from Caillou Visits the Doctor was used in Caillou Joins the Circus, Caillou's Teddy Shirt, Caillou Learns to Skate, and Caillou Makes a New Friend.

  • This crying sound effect is also used in other shows, like the babies in Shrek the Third, a few babies in The Amazing World Of Gumball, Baby Joy in Super Why!, a few babies in the 2020 reboot of Animaniacs, and an offscreen baby foal in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Giant baby from Sofia the first, a one eyed robot in ReBoot (made by Alliance Atlantis, whose children’s catalog was bought by WildBrain), just to give out a few examples.

• This also references to the infamous 2004 kids show, Peppa Pig, which characters cry for no reason.

  • Also, haters of Peppa Pig might think Peppa Pig is Nickelodeon's version of Caillou.

Controversy[]

Although Caillou's and Rosie's crying has been justified at times (e.g. Caillou Crying because of a nightmare). However, there are many scenes (prominently from seasons 1-2 and some episodes of season 3) in which Caillou's threw tantrums over the pettiest of things (like not going to the circus until tomorrow, or a replaceable chair getting broken), which sparked backlash from parents and critics, and what would give Caillou the status it has today. Many parents and critics also stated the show as being a "terrible influence" for their children. Parents also alleged to show the show was the cause of their children's temper tantrums and bad behavior. This criticism caused certain episodes to be pulled from air to such bad reception. Overall, these "crying scenes" were what gave Caillou terrible ratings and reception from parents. NOTE: Tantrums and bad behavior of Caillou and Rosie only happens in seasons 1-2 and some episodes of season 3.
