Caillou/Headscratchers

• There seems to be such a difference in Gilbert's personality between the animated segments and the puppet segments. Animated he's very normal and catlike, puppet is wise and knowledgeable.
  • Simple. His owner isn't supposed to know that he has some human-like qualities.
• What's with the Charlie Brown Haircut on Caillou? I mean no one else has hair like that. Or a lack of it for that matter.
  • Some kids are just bald, or prefer their hair to be that way.
  • Word of God confirms that he was originally planned to be a young baby.
  • This might make me a terrible person, but as a little kid I assumed he had cancer and was dying.
  • According to the publishers,Caillou is bald because he represents all children.
