Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir is an engaging 3D CGI animated series that follows the thrilling adventures of two high school students, Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste, who are destined to become the protectors of Paris: Ladybug and Cat Noir. Each of them possesses a Miraculous, a powerful jewel imbued with magical abilities that connect them to their enigmatic companions, known as Kwamis. These Kwamis grant Marinette and Adrien extraordinary powers tailored to their unique destinies—Ladybug wields good fortune and the ability to create and manipulate objects, while Cat Noir is bestowed with agility and the power of destruction through his staff.

Their primary mission centres on thwarting the villainous Hawk Moth, a malevolent figure intent on acquiring their Miraculous to unleash chaos across the city. Hawk Moth uses his sinister powers to transform ordinary citizens into a variety of formidable supervillains, each presenting unique challenges that Ladybug and Cat Noir must face. Beyond their thrilling escapades, Marinette and Adrien must also navigate the complexities of adolescent life, balancing their superhero responsibilities with the trials and tribulations of high school.

At school, the shy and creative Marinette crushes on her charming classmate, Adrien, but often struggles to vocalize her feelings, leading to moments of comic awkwardness when he is near. Conversely, Adrien, who transforms into the dashing Cat Noir, harbours a crush on the mysterious Ladybug, yet his playful banter and overly confident demeanour can sometimes frustrate her. Unbeknownst to both, Marinette secretly admires Adrien's earnest nature and kindness, deepening her internal conflict as she juggles her dual identities.

Throughout the school year, as they tackle a series of exciting adventures, Ladybug begins to discover the depth of Cat Noir's character, recognizing his bravery and loyalty. At the same time, Marinette gradually finds the strength to confront her shyness, taking small but significant steps toward connecting with Adrien. This journey of self-discovery and bravery not only brings them closer to each other but also enhances their capabilities as superheroes, forging a bond that transcends their masked alter egos and revealing the richness of their personalities.

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir (French: Miraculous, les aventures de Ladybug et Chat 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.

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.

Production: 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. 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 [the] backdrop." 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 was initially expected to launch sometime between fall or winter 2024.

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: They know each other outside of crime-fighting but somehow never recognize each other's superhero identities. To the annoyance of many fans, this conflict is yet to be resolved, causing some to lose interest in the show for its overly drawn-out romantic tension. 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.

The Miraculers: The Miraculers are a French superhero team who wear magical jewels called Miraculouses. They primarily fight against akumatized villains created by the holder of the Butterfly Miraculous. The team is led by Ladybug and was founded by Master Fu.

Their mission is to keep Hawk Moth – who wants to steal their Miraculouses – from wreaking havoc on the town by creating increasingly dangerous supervillains – all while living their high school lives and keeping their identities secret. At school, Marinette has a crush on Adrien but cannot tell him, so she acts awkwardly whenever he's around.

Quantic Universe: The Quantic Universe is the name of the universe where the story of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir takes place.

Summary: According to Thomas Astruc, "[The Quantic Universe] is the extended universe in which live Ladybug and Cat Noir. Ladybug is to the Quantic Universe as to what Spider-Man is to the Marvel-verse, or Batman to the DC-verse. Quantic Universe is filled [with] super-heroes in all countries, alien races, magic... Ladybug is just a tiny part of it. Hopefully, if the series is successful, [the crew] will be able to explore it." He also explained in an interview that while Ladybug, Cat Noir, and their relationship is the main focus of the Miraculous Ladybug series, the crew wants to keep expanding the universe, adding new characters and looking deeper into all of the Miraculouses stored in the Miracle Box. For a while, Miraculous holders were the only known type of superheroes. However, Thomas Astruc has confirmed that other superheroes with abilities unrelated to Miraculouses are in existence within the Quantic Universe. This was first confirmed in-universe in the "Miraculous New York" special, in which both superheroes without superpowers (such as Knightowl, Sparrow, and Victory), as well as superheroes with superpowers not given by Miraculouses (like Majestia and Doorman), exist. The Quantic Universe has explored the concept of Alternative timelines and there are also Alternate Universes that are a completely different reality from the Quantic Universe.

History: At the beginning of the universe, the first kwami, Tikki, came into existence. After her, other kwamis were formed throughout the early days of the universe whenever new ideas or emotions were born, such as beauty and love. They weren't able to be detected by humanity until a mage created the Miraculouses. Because of the Miraculouses, not only could kwamis can now interact with humans, they could also transform them into super-powered beings. To protect the Miraculouses, the Order of the Guardians was formed, watching over and distributing the Miraculouses. Many Miraculous holders existed around the world at different times, including in ancient civilizations, the Middle Ages, and modern periods. Despite existing for many years, sometime in the 19th century, a mistake made by a young member in training named Wang Fu resulted in the Order of the Guardians falling apart, their temple getting destroyed, and the Butterfly Miraculous, Peacock Miraculous, and Miraculous spellbook being lost. Fu escaped, and he kept the Miracle Box with its remaining Miraculouses. In the present day, many superheroes exist around the world. Majestia and Knightowl were well-known and popular, even having comic books based on them. An American superhero, Victory, is the President of the USA. All known American superheroes are part of a team of heroes called the United Heroez. Meanwhile, in recent years there wasn't any kind of superhero in France. However, Gabriel Agreste found the Butterfly Miraculous and became Hawk Moth. With his superpower, he created other supervillains in order to bring out the Ladybug Miraculous and Cat Miraculous, take them away from their holders, and use them together to wish for a secret desire. Living in Paris at the time, Fu planned to fight back and stop Hawk Moth from making his wish come true, thereby circumventing its horrible consequences. After realizing he couldn't do it alone, Fu gave the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses respectively to Parisian teenagers Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste. As the danger in Paris grew, so did Ladybug and Cat Noir, figuring out the powers of their jewels, growing in allies and not only that they also gained clues to figuring out Hawk Moth's secret dream. In the future the French Miraculous superhero team return as adults as Paris is under the threat of a new Hawk Moth.

Geography: Paris, France is the primary location seen in the universe so far in the TV series. In "Startrain", Ladybug, Cat Noir and Pegasus defeated Startrain and captured her akuma in the Big Ben Clock Tower in London. Other countries have been mentioned or referenced, including China, Egypt, Greece, Italy, the Patagonia region (in Argentina and Chile), the United Kingdom and its capital London, and Japan. The Miraculous World TV movies take place in different locations throughout the world, including New York City, Shanghai, London, Dakar, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo. Achu, the kingdom where Prince Ali and his chaperone live, is a fictional country that exists in the universe. However, it is unknown where in the world Achu is.
