Kaeloo is the main protagonist of the series of the same name. She is a frog who is full of joy and kindness, and enjoys playing games with her friends in Smileyland, a magical place of which she is the guardian. When she gets angry, she turns into Bad Kaeloo. An immense toad, body built and endowed with incredible physical abilities.
She was voiced by Emmanuel Garijo in the original French, who is also the French voice of Stitch in Lilo & Stitch and Luis in the Ant-Man films.
Appearance[]
Kaeloo is a small frog. She has a green body and her belly and the lower half of her face are yellow. She has red eyes, two red spirals on her cheeks and bright white teeth. It is often implied that Kaeloo may be slightly overweight, as both Pretty and Cramoisie have mocked her for being fat and Kaeloo struggles with her body image.
Bad Kaeloo is a large, muscular toad with visible veins and yellow spots on his body. The red spirals on Kaeloo's cheeks are not present on Bad Kaeloo's cheeks. He has very poor oral hygiene. His tongue is blue and his teeth are not properly aligned. His right eye has a yellow scar running through it.
In "Si on jouait au mécano quantique", Kaeloo briefly appears in the form of a human. Her human form is light-skinned. She has green shoulder-length hair with bangs in the front and red eyes with thick eyelashes. She wears a yellow tee-shirt, denim overall shorts, and brown boots.
Personality[]
Kaeloo is a sweet and imaginative but dangerously emotionally unstable little frog who's always looking for games to play with her "buddies". She is very kind, gentle and forgiving, and she still sees Mr. Cat as a friend and tries her best to make him feel happy and welcome despite his cruel and sadistic nature. She is also usually the one to stand up for Quack-Quack when Mr. Cat is tormenting him, and she is fiercely protective of the flowers of Smileyland. Kaeloo loves all things "cute" or "beautiful". She also enjoys things that most people would describe as "mushy", such as handwritten love letters, fairy tales, and soap operas. Kaeloo is a well-organized person who respects tradition, and freaks out when things are disorganized or when rules are broken. Kaeloo is extremely naïve and childlike; examples of this include her thinking her missing keys are "playing hide-and-seek", and her interpreting one of Mr. Cat's sexual-innuendo-laden pick-up lines in a literal manner and misunderstanding him.
Kaeloo often chooses to ignore negative things. Until "Si on jouait aux jolis mots", she would often deny that she had a lisp if anybody brought it up. In "Si on jouait contre Cramoisie", when Cramoisie insults Kaeloo by saying she has saddlebag fat, Bad Kaeloo says that Kaeloo doesn't have saddlebag fat. This tendency to ignore the negative also extends to her surroundings. In "Si on jouait à la boom", Kaeloo takes in the catastrophic surroundings of her party and says "What a beautiful party!" despite the destruction going on around her. She also tends to encourage people to stay positive in bad situations, like when Stumpy gets stabbed with a corkscrew in "Let's Play Time Travel" and Kaeloo says he should just think of it like having a large piercing.
Abilities[]
Kaeloo has the power to transform into Bad Kaeloo, a muscular toad. Whether or not Kaeloo can voluntarily transform without being angered depends on the episode. Bad Kaeloo has impressive athletic abilities, such as stopping a car with his bare hands, throwing Mr. Cat into the air at a speed of 88mph, and holding off a meteor. In Season 5, Kaeloo gains the ability to control her transformations much better by communicating with Bad Kaeloo.
Starting from the show's third season, Kaeloo has been able to transform partially, or to transform a specific body part while the others remain intact.
