Caillou (reboot)

Caillou, also known as C.A.I.L.L.O.U.: The World Discoverer, or even just C.A.I.L.L.O.U. in some countries is an American/Canadian hand-drawn/2D/CGI animated television series that is scheduled to air in 2018, being produced by DHX Media, and airing on Universal Kids in the US and on Netflix in the UK. It is a reboot of the original series from 1997.

Story
Six years after the events of the Canadian Civil War, Caillou is now ten, is too mature for his age, has grown hair, and goes on different missions every episode. Boris and Doris are fresh out of rehab, and Rosie is beloved by others in her school.

Production
With the original series being cancelled in 2010, DHX Media had an idea four years after 2010. In 2014, DHX Media teamed up with Gaumont to create a hand-drawn animated television series, to revive Caillou's series. In 2015, DreamWorks Animation Television confirmed to distribute the series in the UK, and DHX Media confirmed to distribute the series in the US and Canada.

In November 2016, Corus Entertainment joined the team, and it was confirmed that it will air on PBS Kids and Treehouse in the US, and Netflix in the UK.

Animation
The Toon Boom animation will be provided by Gaumont Animation with the hand-drawn animation being done at 9 Story Media Group, which will also produce the show. The CGI backgrounds and props will be built with Autodesk Maya, with the show also featuring CGI scenes. The ghost thinking speech bubble will also be CGI too, when Caillou thinks what to do.
