I gave this 5 stars because my 2.5 yo daughter is a Caillou fanatic and she loves it (I live with it). This is a newer video *without* the puppets that every kid seems to hate, and a lot less of the whining found in older videos. The episodes on this video are much more positive, constructive and creative than many others I have rented. Much more like the episodes you would typically see on PBS now. MUCH less of the bratty whiny Caillou you will find in older collections. I bought this one after I rented it to make sure it was ok.

For the life of me, I'll never understand what it is about Caillou and the rest of his family that utterly transfixes my kids. He's a whiny, inexplicably chrome-domed little person who seems to crave attention all the time ... and yet, here I am, buying (and rating) his DVDs.

For pint-sized Caillou fans (and the moms and dads who have to listen to him), "Caillou the Creative" is actually a good buy. Gone -- thankfully -- are the mawkish puppet skits involving Cailluo's dog and dinosaur that always seemed to annoy my little guys. The episodes also feature a calmer, more mature Caillou who often tries to help his little sister and his folks. The noted demeanor change is a welcome relief, especially when the DVD gets played on an endless loop.

my 3 year old daughter just started to watch caillou on sprout. we bought this video and she loved it!!! she loves all the episodes of caillou. thank goodness!!!!! caillou is a good change from many other shows out there. he is a lovely child that is kind to his little sister and children in his playschool. he listens to his mother by saying ok mommy after the first request (i hope my daughter catches on hahaha!!!) he shows manners and respect. i cant believe there are any bad reviews!!!

Our 18 mo old daughter loves Caillou, but hates the puppet shows in some Caillou TV and movies. We love this one because there are no puppet shows and the mini episodes in this DVD are entertaining for us too.

My son loves Caillou but on getting this DVD I was totally dismayed to find that I cannot skip the previews of other shows at the beginning. Don't like my son sitting through 5 minutes of commercials for other shows (which put unwanted ideas in his head!) and I don't like having to wait around to get the thing started when the menu finally appears. Annoying!

The content of the video is ok, but the sound goes way down when the shows start. The previews are fine, but when Caillou actually starts the sound goes way down and you have to have the TV on full blast just to barely hear it!!!

My son just loves Caillou and this video is great. I especially like it because it doesn't have the short clips of the cat/bear/dinosaur in-between the cartoons.

No puppets! It's all Caillou all the time. My daughter loves it. I recommend it too.

My daughter just happened to watch an episode of Caillou on "Sprout TV", which I love, and she loves even more! I know some people think Caillou is whinny and annoying BUT he teaches, kindness, manners, and a respect for his Mom and Dad. Good values to have come out of a cartoon instead of violence and fighting. My daughter ABSOLUTELY adores Caillou, and sings the intro song word for word and she's only 2! I would reccomend this to and child her age and younger.

Just like the PBS show. Other complain about Cailou being whiney, but I found none of that in this DVD. Daughter loves it.
