History WMG / Caillou

It makes sense, as a kid [[MrImagination who loves imagination]] would enjoy playing second-fiddle to [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney]], a purple dinosaur who is imagination (and love) incarnated. Plus, both shows are infamous for having rabid hatedoms which somehow managed to gain mainstream attention.

* Tying the ''Caillou dying of cancer'' and ''The narrator in the early seasons is an older Rosie'' WMG together. While Caillou and Rosie do have their moments, they truly do love each other. When Caillou eventually succumbed, Rosie decided to keep Caillou's memory alive, and eventually grew up and wrote the Caillou books as a memoir to preserve the memories. She eventually got married, had kids, who then grew up and got married and had kids of their own. The shorts take place in the far future, and the books she read to her grandkids are her own books.

* Assuming that's really their names, though it seems to be unclear whether or not that's actually a case of UrbanLegendOfZelda.

* Calliou died, and after death became a ghost, however much like Jack Frost in ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'' , he lost his memory of who he was had been before. He was given the name Casper, and now travels the world looking for friends.

Why else would they have rhyming names?

[[Boris and Doris, Caillou's parents, are twins]]

* They have the same production values as the songs that were in the actual film and many of them involve the actual characters rather than simply being cheery holiday tunes. It's very easy to imagine an animated fantasy sequence involving Caillou "Riding in Santa's Sleigh," or a scene in which Caillou and Rosie dance "The Santa Hop" on Christmas Eve before going to sleep.

* Caillou's mother slept with Lex, then became pregnant. She didn't know who the the actual father was because she was also with the man she thinks is his father. Lex is either unaware or simply has no interest in his son.

[[WMG: Rosie wrote all the Caillou books at appears as the framing device in the shorts]]

* At the beginning of most, if not all, early season episodes, a red-haired grandmother narrator would tell the story of the episodes to two children. This theory would explain how the grandmother knew everything Caillou did.

This is a well-known theory on the internet, propagated by a creepypasta that can be read [[http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Caillou here]]. Basically, Caillou has terminal cancer, and is bald because of chemotherapy, and his parents let him get away with pretty much anything because he's not going to live long. The episodes are being narrated by his grandmother after he's died, to his younger sister who doesn't have much memory of him.

** Caillou is Captain Jean-Luc Picard,
At some point, he will be sent into the future, where he is adopted, and becomes fascinated with space. He joins Starfleet and the rest is history.

** Alternatively, Jean-Luc Picard is a descendant of Caillou.
Both are French, and bald. Enough said.

** Caillou grows up to be Professor Xavier.
Through some quirk of fate, he develops psychic powers, ends up in America, and the rest is history.

** Alternatively he is a failed clone of Professor X.
The cloning process managed to get the bald part right, but no powers manifested.

Caillou's mother slept with Lex, then became pregnant. She didn't know who the the actual father was because she was also with the man she thinks is his father. Lex is either unaware or simply has no interest in his son.
