Caillou The Courageous
My family and I were so excited to FINALLY receive Caillou The Courageous in the mail, just in time for family movie night. Caillou couldn’t have came at a better time, the kids were not having a good day. So we all sat together on our big comfy couch ready to relearn good behaviors. Caillou is such a great tool to make learning fun! If you have never seen Caillou just know he is a very adorable and lovable 4 year old who loves to learn and grow, he is so relatable for children of all ages. Heck some times I even relate to him.
Tonight we watched Caillou over come his fears, Show how determination pays off and learn that not all jokes are funny. Caillou reminds children to be kind, give people chances and always have fun. It seems so hard to find good movies with positive values now a days, the Armstrong clan gives Caillou The Courageous two thumps up.
Run to the store real quick, grab some popcorn and cuddle up with your babies and enjoy some relaxing family time. They grow up too fast. I remember all to well the days our Liz was one of the biggest Caillou fans out there. Those days are long gone sadly, but I am super glad that my nephew Mason will have the opportunity to get to go on the great adventures with Caillou. CAILLOU THE COURAGEOUS From overcoming a fear of spiders to trying something new, Caillou empowers preschoolers to take on life’s little challenges and to explore the world around them in this new DVD.
In select stories on this DVD, Caillou demonstrates perseverance, determination, and courage. In “Caillou Climbs,” Caillou is nervous and scared to climb a rock wall at the local community center. After speaking with the instructor named Samantha, Caillou overcomes his fear and gains the courage he needs to climb the wall and ring the bell at the top! Also featured is the tale “Caillou Roller Skates.” When Caillou goes to the park to try out his new roller skates he has a difficult time skating. After meeting his friend Daniel, who is a great skater, he’s determined to keep practicing in order to improve.

“Caillou Climbs”
Mommy takes Caillou and Clementine to an indoor rock climbing wall, but Caillou doesn’t want to give it a try. It’s much too intimidating! Caillou overcomes his fear by literally taking things one step at a time.
“The Spider Issue”
After looking at a spider alien comic book with his older pal, Andre, Caillou becomes afraid of spiders. He’s nervous around the house, until Daddy tells him some spider facts and shows him how cool spiders can really be…and Caillou has to agree; they ARE pretty cool!
“Caillou Roller Skates”
Caillou wants to learn how to roller skate…until he realizes roller skating is very difficult. With a little help and guidance from his friend, Daniel, Caillou decides to keep practicing, so his skills will improve – just like Daniel’s did!
“Caillou’s Shadow”
Caillou likes it when Miss Martin calls him a “shadow scientist”…so much so, he’s afraid to admit he doesn’t know everything about shadows. When Caillou’s curiosity gets the better of him, he learns it’s much easier to find the answers you’re looking for when you ask questions.
“Say Lettuce!”
Caillou wants to take a picture of a bunny rabbit in Grandma’s garden, but it proves a harder task then he originally thought. With a little perseverance (and a little lettuce from the garden) he finally sees the task through to the end – and gets a photo he’s proud of!
“You’re Not Miss Martin!”
Caillou isn’t too happy when Miss Martin is away and his preschool class has a substitute teacher – Mrs. Shelley. She does everything differently and isn’t familiar with the usual routines. When Caillou tries to see things from Mrs. Shelley’s perspective, he decides to give her another chance…only to realize how wonderful Mrs. Shelley really is…even if she isn’t Miss Martin.
“Cailloodles”
Jeffrey and Jason are having fun making up silly names for their classmates. But they don’t realize they’re hurting others’ feelings. Caillou isn’t sure what to do – until a chat with Daddy inspires him to speak up and tell Jeffrey and Jason how he feels. When the twins realize their jokes aren’t funny to everyone, they decide to stick to calling only each other silly names.
Lovable four-year-old Caillou has a boundless imagination that makes every experience an opportunity for fun and play. By sharing in his incredible adventures, children can “make believe” along with Caillou and find new ways to understand and enjoy the world around them. Produced by DHX Media, CAILLOU is designed for preschoolers and airs on PBS KIDS (check local listings).
