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 horribly flanderized.
 * 3) *Caillou is at his absolute worst here, and he gets physically and mentally abused by his family. While some people may find Caillou unlikable in the original series due to his tantrums, the creators decided to make him a psychotic, angry, moronic, and menacing criminal (this is especially evident in one of Roku Kun the Vyonder's videos), which really takes the cake.
 * 4) *Rosie has become a jerk who tattles on Caillou.
 * 5) *Boris and Doris have become horrible parents who ground their son for ridiculously long amounts of time and even give him unfair punishments, as opposed to being caring, honorable and compassionate parents.
 * 6) *Clementine's mother has become a corrupt school principal who punishes students at an extreme, as opposed to being a caring and good-natured mom like the real series.
 * 7) *Miss Martin has gone from a caring, honorable and compassionate teacher to a corrupt teacher who abuses her power so much.
 * 8) No sufficient research on the original and actual franchise has been put into this series, which leads to a very inaccurate and disrespectful portrayal of the show.
 * 9) With the only exceptions being Caillou, Rosie, Boris, Doris, Ms. Martin, and sometimes Gilbert and Caillou's friends like Leo, Clementine, Sarah, and Andy and Alan, the rest of the canonical cast are usually absent from this series.
 * 10) 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.
 * 11) They also redundantly expanded Caillou's family by adding Lily and Daisy.
 * 12) Clementine's mother is portrayed as a principal, even though we don't know her canonical job. This even occurs through most other grounded series with preschool shows, using Clementine's mother as a principal.
 * 13) Caillou is shown to have an extreme obsession over Chuck E. Cheese, even though it was never shown in the actual show.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 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.
 * 2) Some episodes can have unintentionally hilarious moments.
 * 3) Speaking of hilarious, they catchphrases and quotes can be memorable, yet awkward like:
 * "That's it! You are grounded grounded grounded grounded grounded for (insert a random number) years/decades/centuries/millennmiums!!"
 * "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
 * "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
 * "Execution time!"
 * "THIS IS YOUR CELL. YOU WILL STAY IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!"
