‘Caillou had cancer’: the true story behind this character

The cartoons of our childhood have been surrounded by many legends and stories. Some real and others that have only made us wonder how they came about.

Caillou was a cartoon that emerged in 1997, and became popular in the early 2000s.

However, today we want to tell you about one of the darkest stories that arose around this character, and that arose from the idea that Caillou was a child with cancer, and for this reason the protagonist had no hair.

The idea arose above all from a Twitter thread published in 2018 in which it was said that the cartoon was created for children with cancer and that for this reason Caillou’s mother always opened a memory album.

Although this story may be moving and sad, it is very far from Caillou’s real story.

According to the creators of this popular series, Caillou was originally a 9-month-old baby who later grows up.

The creators of the series did not want the essence of this to be lost, so they chose to leave the character without hair, which remained one of Caillou’s characteristics.

The truth is that although many have believed that Caillou had cancer, the creators of the series have clarified that it has nothing to do with the real story and intention.
