Having sold over 120 million products and with great digital achievements (16,4 billion views, 11 million subscribers on oficial channels and over 100 million app downloads), Miraculous follows the adventures of two seemingly typical teens with secret identities, Marinette and Adrien, who magically transform into superheroes, Ladybug and Cat Noir. As secret superheroes, Ladybug and Cat Noir are partners in the action. But in the daytime, Marinette is just a normal girl, living a normal life. Cat Noir will do anything to support and impress Ladybug, but does not know this is Marinette from his class. Marinette, in turn, dreams of Adrien and simply gets little response. When evil threatens, can they beat the unexpected villains? The series’ main values include girl empowerment, secret identities, love, friendship, creativity and fashion.
