History[]

1st Prototype (August 22, 1993)[]

This prototype has Caillou, but he has spiky hair because The Simpsons shorts served the ground work of the show, especially the prototype, this was lost (Except for a 2 minute scene of the 45 minute prototype) until being on the 30 Years Blu Ray/DVD in 2017. Boris was bald and Doris is the only one in the prototype resembling the final version, except that her hair bow is red instead of blue.

2nd Prototype (September 4, 1994)[]

The next prototype has Caillou with bald hair, Boris with long hair, and Doris with a blue hair bow, except that Rosie is still absent, and Nancy Cartwright is dropped for a 15 year old drop out voicing Caillou, just like the final. The drop out was named David Ascot. Another difference is David Ascot was given a deeper voice for Caillou, similar to Bad News and Scary Voice, he later did a lighter voice that sounded like David Smith from the Eric Show in the Final Prototype and the actual show.

3rd Prototype (October 14, 1995)[]

This final prototype is when instead of doing the animation at the Californian studio, it gets outsourced to South Korea's GoAnimate Animation Seoul. This is exactly like Early Season 1, except Boris says grounded 7 times, before the quality control made sure that Boris can only say it 5 times or less and simple background/supporting character differences. This starts out with Caillou's house, which looks like the Shows house rather than a blue house. Boris calls him downstairs for breakfast, then he goes to school, Ms. Martin (who has blonde hair instead of ginger) teaches the class, but Caillou asks to go to the bathroom, and he goes to Chuck E. Cheese, which is fully animated instead of a live action picture. He then gets grounded for 4,206,661,337 Years. The only prototype produced with Nelvana.
