Blog:Caillou Gets Grounded (my version)

Note: This is my own fictional version of the CGG page, so don't take it seriously.

Caillou Gets Grounded is an animated television series created by Sara Braeutigam for ClickTV (as part of the GoAnimate animation block) using GoAnimate/Vyond. The series began with the release of the first episode, "Caillou Calls His Baby Sister “Stupid”/Grounded", which was uploaded to YouTube by African Vulture on December 13, 2013, followed by an extended version of the first episode on December 20 of that year. Since then, the series has grown in popularity, with thousands of fan-videos being created ever since.

Why It Won't Grow at All

 * 1) The main problem with this series is that it portrays characters from its source material as troublemakers and utilizes the "It's made for kids" excuse, which is a lazy, uninspired and repetitive approach for video creation. It would later serve as the basis for other grounded series based on preschool shows.
 * 2) All of the characters have been flanderized.
 * 3) *Caillou is at his absolute worst here, and he gets physically and mentally abused by his family.
 * 4) *Boris has become an abusive father who grounds his son for ridiculously long amounts of time and even gives him unfair punishments.
 * 5) No sufficient research on the original franchise has been put into this series, which leads to a very inaccurate and disrespectful portrayal of the show.
 * 6) With the only exceptions being Caillou, Rosie, Boris, Doris, Ms. Martin, and sometimes Gilbert, the rest of the canonical cast are usually absent from this series.
 * 7) Caillou's family name in these videos is Anderson, but Caillou is never revealed to have a surname in the TV series, and it looks like that they got the "Anderson" idea from Issac Anderson.
 * 8) They also redundantly expanded Caillou's family by including Lily and Daisy.
 * 9) The series depicts Clementine's mother as a principal, even though we don't know her canonical job. This even occurs through most other preschool show characters gets grounded series with Clementine's mother as a principal. Worse, Clementine's mother is flanderized from a caring mom into a corrupt school principal who punishes students at an extreme. She and Miss Martin are also no better than Caillou.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Compared to the other grounded videos, the character designs look accurate to the original source material, and these videos were popular during GoAnimate's Golden age.
