DVD Reviews of Caillou's Holiday Movie

DVD Review: One of the best movies of all time, save for a few quirks
Summary: 5 Stars

Anyway, apart from the minor quirks listed above, there the movie was just as Cinar announced it to be: touching, funny and warm. It has the right mix of catchy music and dialogs, and there is enough humour to keep one entertained throughout the movie. Viewers feel Caillou's frustration when he is separated from his beloved Rexy and spends a third of the movie on and off trying to find him (Rexy), laugh at the scene where Rosie drops a roll of toilet paper into a box full of stuff to be donated to needy children, and feel the warmth of the scenes at night where Caillou's Mommy sings him a song about Santa's different names around the world. Also, viewers will get to learn about how Christmas is celebrated throughout the world, plus a little bit about Hannukah. Also, the interview, while not being related to the show, is good for a laugh if nothing else.

Overall, it's a good movie, even though there are one or two quirks. It's also worth a mention that the movie makes a lot of references to past episodes of the TV show. It's worth a mention that Annie Bovaird does the voice of Caillou in the movie instead of Jaclyn Linetsky, and that the movie is a departure from a regular episode of the show and lacks both the grandma-reading-to-kids opening that's found on the older version of the show and the puppet segments that's found on the PBS airings - it's 73 Minutes of pure Caillou and nothing else.

In a nutshell: good movie, and the minor quirks are easy to overlook (especially if you get the DVD only for the movie). I give it two thumbs up.
