Hello everyone, I've been following this forum for a while and I've wanted to create an account for a while, so yeah.
Anyway, here's an interesting piece of lost media related to Caillou I've known about for months now, so here we go.
For the 10 people who don't know what Caillou is, Caillou is a Canadian preschool show created by Cinar/Cookie Jar Entertainment, based on the books of the same name. It lasted from 1997-2010 and aired on Teletoon (later Treehouse TV) and PBS Kids. The series follows a 4 year-old boy named Caillou, who learns about the world around him with his family and friends. The series is also well known for its big hatedom, claiming the titular character is "bratty and whiney". I, however, am a big fan of the show and it gives me alot of comfort, so yeah.
The series has had afew video games based on it. There were the PC games from the early-mid 2000s by The Learning Company. There were also abunch of flash games and more recently, mobile games. Those games were more like your standard educational games based on popular kids shows but this one kinda falls more in line with an actual video game.
Caillou Çiftlikte (Caillou Farm in English) is a interesting game. This game was released exclusively in Turkey around 2011/2012 (likely 2012). Judging by a description of the game and footage of it, it's a farming based game involving Caillou working on a farm. This game was actually officially licensed by Cookie Jar and Chouette Publishing, as the companies' logos are on the back of the box.
This game was likely made because of the BIG popularity of Caillou in Turkey at the time (there were even reports of adults watching and liking the show).
Not much is known about the game, and it's very hard to find footage of the game. The only footage of the game I can find is an old shopping channel infomercial for the game:

There's also a page on the game from someone who worked on the game (which has screenshots):
talemon.com/project/caillou/
There's supposedly a download link for the game, but I'm not sure if it's legit.
Box art:
So yeah, I think this is an interesting piece of lost media (especially since Caillou doesn't have that much in terms of lost content). What are your thoughts?
