Miraculous Ladybug

''Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir'' (; commonly abbreviated as ''Miraculous Ladybug'' or simply ''Miraculous'') is a French animated magical girl superhero television series created by Thomas Astruc and developed by Jeremy Zag. The series is produced by the French company Miraculous Corp. (a joint venture of Mediawan and ZAG, Inc.), and co-produced with Japanese studio Toei Animation's European division, as well as several international companies.

The series focuses on two Parisian teenagers, Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste, who transform into the superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir, respectively, to protect the city from supervillains.

Before its debut in France on 17 October 2015 on TF1 / TFX's TFOU block, the series was first shown in South Korea on 1 September 2015 on EBS1. Internationally, it is mainly broadcast on Disney-owned channels or on Disney+, with exceptions in some countries.

The series spawned a media franchise with several products tied to it, including various comic books, novels, and video games. A film adaptation, '' Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie'', was released theatrically in 2023, premiering in France.

Synopsis

The series takes place in modern-day Paris and revolves around the adventures of two teenagers, Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste. When evil arises, they transform into their superhero personas, Ladybug and Cat Noir, respectively using magical jewels known as the "Miraculouses": the miraculous of the Ladybug, with the power of creation, and of the Cat, which grants the power of destruction. Marinette and Adrien struggle with their feelings for each other, not knowing each other's secret identities: Marinette is in love with Adrien, but not Cat Noir, while Adrien is in love with Ladybug, but not Marinette.

Their main enemy is the supervillain Hawk Moth, whose secret identity, unknown to the heroes, is Adrien's father, Gabriel Agreste. Using the Butterfly Miraculous, he creates ''akumas'', butterflies infused with negative energy, to " akumatize" ordinary Parisians when they experience negative emotions, turning them into supervillains. His goal is to steal Ladybug's and Cat Noir's Miraculous, intending to use their combined power to wish his wife, Emilie, back to life, who fell into a coma by using the damaged Peacock Miraculous before the events of the series. He is sometimes aided by his assistant Nathalie Sancoeur, who uses the Peacock Miraculous to create ''sentimonsters'', magical lifeforms with a seemingly endless variety of forms and abilities.

As Hawk Moth's villains grow stronger, Master Fu, the Guardian of the Miraculous, permits Marinette to borrow additional Miraculous and enlist her classmates and friends as superheroes. Hawk Moth eventually exposes Master Fu, forcing him to make Marinette the new Guardian. Nathalie falls ill from using the damaged Peacock Miraculous, but Hawk Moth repairs it and uses it together with the Butterfly Miraculous to become "Shadow Moth", able to create both akumas and sentimonsters.

At the end of the fourth season, Gabriel, adopting the new supervillain name "Monarch", gains control of almost all of the Miraculous, leaving Ladybug and Cat Noir once again as the only two heroes. A battle with the heroes leaves Gabriel with magical damage that slowly spreads through his body. Adrien eventually lets go of his crush on Ladybug and instead falls in love with Marinette, leading to them starting a romantic relationship (still ignorant of each other's secret identities). After a final battle with Marinette at the end of season 5, Gabriel seizes the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous and makes his wish; having had a change of heart, he wishes to revive Nathalie at the cost of his own life. Marinette recovers most of the Miraculous and gives them into the custody of her friends, unaware that Lila Rossi, a former classmate who became her nemesis, has claimed the Butterfly Miraculous for herself. In the sixth season, Marinette struggles with the morality of hiding the truth of Gabriel's villainy from Adrien and the world, while Lila directs akuma-powered villains of her own against Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Episodes

Production

Conception and creation

The series is based on an original concept created by French writer and storyboarder Thomas Astruc. He was inspired by a meeting with a certain lady and "decades of comics binge reading". In an interview with Nolife, Astruc said he was working as an animator on the show ''W.I.T.C.H.'' when he met a woman wearing a T-shirt with a ladybug on it. They began to share drawings, some of which were ladybug-themed. Astruc also noted that Marinette's signature pigtail hairstyle was fashioned after the woman. They also worked on the cartoon '' A.T.O.M.'' around 2004–05. Astruc first drew ''Ladybug'' on sticky notes and remarked about how strong the Ladybug character was. He had no memories of seeing ladybug-themed superheroes in comics.

Astruc had intended to make ''Ladybug'' a comic book series until he met Jeremy Zag, who loved the project and wanted to produce it as a cartoon; Zag was 25 at the time and not originally from the cartoon industry.

In developing Cat Noir, Astruc said that ladybugs represented good luck, so it was natural to partner her with a black cat character with bad luck powers. Cat Noir was a tribute to comic characters like Catwoman, so it was like having Catwoman and Spider-Man in the same show but reversed genders and roles.

A character named Félix was originally going to have the role of Cat Noir, as the holder of the Black Cat Miraculous, but he was later scrapped in favor of Adrien Agreste because the creative team felt that Félix was a cliché of a male anime protagonist and that Adrien would allow them to tell more interesting stories. In September 2015, Astruc indicated that he was open to revisiting the character of Félix, but he abandoned it by February 2016, writing that the character was a poor idea. In 2019, Félix was remade as Adrien's cousin and was renamed Félix Fathom, and became holder of the Peacock Miraculous.

Hiring companies

In 2010, the show was announced at Cannes' MIPCOM with French production groups Univergroup Pictures and Onyx Films heading the project and working with Method Animation and Zagtoon. Aton Soumache of Onyx and Method said that they want "to create a glamorous superhero character with a real European flair with Paris as hebackdrop." The producers had also planned to animate it in stereoscopic 3D (currently, the show is produced using CGI animation).

In the summer of June 2012, Toei Animation Co., Ltd. the famous Japanese animation studio branch owned & operated by Toei Company, Ltd. in Tokyo, Japan, was announced as co-producers, alongside its European division. Two years before 2012, Toei Animation had released a ''Pretty Cure'' film that was set in Paris, France, and was interested in expanding their international audience. Even after the production moved to CGI animation, Toei still remained co-producer, with the executive producers from the company being credited.

On 21 November 2012, a memorandum of understanding between Zagtoon, Method Animation, SAMG Animation and SK Broadband was announced: together, the companies would invest US$50 million through 2017 into five projects. The first of these projects was developed into ''Miraculous'', which received an investment of $10 million. As a part of the deal, SK Broadband would have exclusive rights in South Korea for video on demand release, available to the subscribers of the company's IPTV platform B TV.

In 2019, Zag and Gloob signed an agreement where the Brazilian company will start to co-produce the next seasons of ''Miraculous'', in addition to having exclusivity of exhibition in Brazil and the addition of a Brazilian character.

Animation

When Toei Animation and its European division joined as co-producers in the summer of June 2012, it was also announced that the show would be drawn in a colorful manga-like style. Later in September, Zagtoon, Method, & Toei released a traditionally-animated promotional video for ''Miraculous'' ''Ladybug''. The video featured Marinette (in different clothes similar to the clothes in the current series) as Ladybug, and a (now-scrapped, later Adrien's cousin) different character named Félix as Cat Noir, Marinette and Félix's Kwamis, Tikki and Plagg, Hawk Moth / Gabriel (without the mask and with a different outfit, look, and lair compared to the current series), and also two akumatized villains from season 1 in the current show – The Mime and Mr. Pigeon. Their Miraculouses and their transformation sequences had different designs compared to the Miraculouses and the transformations in the current series. The demo song from the promotional music video was performed & composed by Noam, who would later compose, produce music and perform songs for the current series.

The whole anime concept was a complete success; but there were concerns about the marketability of traditional 2D animation and the difficulty in animating Ladybug's costume of red with black spots, as it caused some strobing effects. Executive producer Jared Wolfson said that Zag wanted the animation to be cinematic and epic, unique and different, and said that they are continuing to partner with Toei as it brings in the Asian inspiration and that a 2D version of the show might be a potential product for future purposes.

The aforementioned problem with 2D animation was resolved by moving to CGI animation; the switch also allowed for easier implementation of mobile camera angles. SAMG Animation (later SAMG Entertainment), a CGI animation studio located in South Korea which officially joined in the production in the fall of November 2012, produced modeling and animation. Zag later recalled that SAMG was chosen for quality reasons in a video message he sent to a South Korean press conference held in 2015 by the Seoul-based company. Astruc and assistant director, Wilfried Pain, instructed the animators not to improvise scenes so that they could keep things consistent and understandable. Pain estimated about 350–400 shots are used in a typical 20-minute episode; with 10 panels per shot, that makes up to 4000 panels an episode. Wolfson said that the show's animation brings dynamic camera angles and texturing. A trailer with the new current CGI-animated style was released in October 2013, a year later.

On 22 January 2018, Zag posted on Instagram that the crew was working on season 4 and season 5.

On 18 April 2021, It was confirmed that in addition to season 4 and 5 the show will have two more seasons (season 6 and 7). Season 6, which was confirmed that the series will switch to Unreal Engine 5, was initially expected to launch sometime between fall or winter 2024.

Themes, writing, and process

While the show is marketed as a Western superhero narrative, its thematic base is the Japanese ''mahō shōjo'' (magical girl) genre, with its focus on transformation sequences, a school cast, the gathering of a team of heroes, animal friends, and end-of-episode collages. In particular, ''Ladybug'' is strongly influenced by the genre's landmark entry ''Sailor Moon'': Not only does the name of Marinette ("little sailor girl") recall ''Sailor Moon's'' title, but the main characters' magical companions reflect ''Sailor Moon'''s Luna and Artemis, the main villain's power resembles that of Queen Beryl, and the show's entire plot parallels the story of Sailor Saturn. ''Ladybug'' features numerous other direct and indirect references to its inspiration.

The concept for the show originally dealt with political themes, geared towards teens and young adults. However, after failing to gain traction with networks, it was retooled for a younger target audience. Astruc said that he is delighted that the show is able to reach younger and older people.

Each episode takes around 3 months to write, from scratch to final validation of broadcasters. Assistant director, Wilfried Pain, said that each episode is composed of two parts: a sitcom aspect where the characters have to speak for themselves, and an action element where the camera is always moving.

Noam Kaniel (Noam) writes, composes and performs the music and songs. Kaniel has also worked on action superhero shows such as ''She-Ra'', '' M.A.S.K'', ''X-Men'', ''Code Lyoko'', ''W.I.T.C.H.'', ''Fantastic Four'', ''Power Rangers'', ''Digimon Fusion'' and ''Glitter Force''. Kaniel and Zag wrote the theme song. Alain Garcia wrote the English lyrics, which are sung by Wendy Child and Cash Callaway. The French version was performed by Marily and Noam Kaniel. Starting from season 4, Lou performed the theme song in both French and English.

Release

Astruc representatives have said that the show has reached over 120 countries.

In France, TV channels or streaming services owners are required to participate in the financing of French productions. Since The Walt Disney Company owns TV channels and a streaming service in France, they finance the series through their French division which gives Disney the broadcasting rights in the United States, and in select European, Latin American, Middle Eastern, Asian, and African regions, where the series airs on Disney-owned channels or Disney+. It also gives them the reruns rights on the French versions of Disney Channel and Disney+.

Reception

Critical reception

Kimberly Cooper, a blog writer who has contributed to news media such as ''The Huffington Post'', wrote that the show has inspired teens and adults to create and propagate ''Miraculous'' remixes and liked that the show featured multiracial characters as with the film '' Big Hero 6'', which had won an Oscar. She "quickly realized there was a far cooler and broader Miraculous movement underway". Caitlin Donovan of the entertainment website, Epicstream, listed it as one of her top 10 animated series of 2015. She wrote that "the characters are so charming that the tropey aspects of the show are merely a lot of fun, rather than irritating" and commended the fight sequences and CGI animation. She wrote that "Marinette is an adorable lead who is genuinely awkward as a civilian, but confident as a superhero, which makes for an interesting contrast." Ella Anders of BSCKids wrote that the show stands out because of "how it meshes both the magical girl and superhero genre together". Robert Lloyd of the ''Los Angeles Times'' described the show as "clever, romantic, fun, the way some of us prefer our superhero stories." He found the characters to "have the look of extruded plastic common to CGI cartoons", but "within these limits the design is lovely and the animation elegant, and a lot of work has gone into the staging and execution of the action scenes."

The North American Precis Syndicate called the show "authentic and aspirational – a story of today's modern everygirl superhero who comes to life. The series, about a young girl who taps into her superhero powers and innocent optimism to save Paris from the evil Hawk Moth, will no doubt inspire today's youth to try to save the day, each and every day in their own way." Andrea Reiher of Zap2It wrote that the "storylines are rich with family, friends, adventure, intrigue, villains, creativity and more, delivering themes that are relatable and relevant to kids and preteens" and anticipated it would be a huge hit on Nickelodeon.

The show has also received negative criticism from both critics and fans of the show. Ryan Lewis of CBR.com portrays a negative view of the show's primary conflict between the two main protagonists:

Several media reviewers anticipated ''Miraculous''-brand toys to be among the hot superheroine properties for 2016. Zag has partnered with Bandai to release ''Miraculous''-based toys as well as deals to make ''Miraculous''-brand clothing and other merchandise.
