Cartoonito is a preschool block on Cartoon Network. It was briefly the new home for Caillou reruns after PBS Kids stopped airing the series in late 2020. Reruns aired on Cartoonito from September 13, 2021 to May 4, 2022. On July 1, 2022, Caillou has been removed from Cartoonito's on-demand services.
On August 16, 2021, it was announced that Cartoon Network had acquired the US-broadcast rights to the show after PBS' rights expired. As well as Caillou's New Adventures will be airing on the block.[1]
Trivia[]
- On Cartoonito, the Season 1-4 episodes are cropped to 16:9.
- Caillou pinching Rosie and Daddy asking Caillou to pass the diaper in the episode Big Brother Caillou and Caillou and Clementine's argument in Caillou's Quarrel were removed in Cartoonito airings.
- Some haven’t been removed.
- They also cut some scenes on most Season 5 episodes due to their time frame. Although some people might get confused on what's going on
- Since PBS still owns the rights to the episodes with the puppet segments, the Cartoonito airings use the original framing device with the narrator and her grandkids.
- Cartoonito marks the first time Caillou has aired on Cartoon Network in the USA. In Canada, Teletoon (and its sister network, Treehouse TV) is known for importing its shows to and from Cartoon Network.
