Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir[e] (French: Miraculous, les aventures de Ladybug et Chat Noir)[2][9][10][11][12] is a French animated superhero[13] 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 Entertainment),[14] and co-produced with Japanese studio Toei Animation's European division, as well as several international companies.[f]

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 created by their main antagonist, Hawk Moth.

Before its debut in France on 17 October 2015, on TF1/TFX's TFOU block,[d][15] the series was first shown in South Korea on 1 September 2015, on EBS1.[16] 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

[edit]
See also: List of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir characters

The series takes place in modern-day Paris and revolves around the adventures of two teenagers,[17][18] Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste.[19] When evil arises, they transform into their superhero personas, respectively Ladybug and Cat Noir, 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 real 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. This grants him control over them and turns them into supervillains.[17][20] 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, Cat Noir, and their team of superheroes: the Miraculers.

Conception and creation

[edit]

The series is based on an original concept created by French writer and storyboarder Thomas Astruc.[30] He was inspired by a meeting with a certain lady and "decades of comics binge reading".[31] 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.

The influence of the Magical Girl genre is inescapable; when Marinette's mother is captured in a bubble and carried off into the sky, apparently along with every adult in Paris, Marinette transforms into Ladybug in a series of twirls, poses and dancing. She even has the guidance of a talking ladybug creature, known in the series as a kwami, fulfilling another Magical Girl trope.
