28	''Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir'' (''Miraculous'' or ''Miraculous Ladybug'' for short) is a 3D-animated MagicalGirl[=/=]{{Superhero}} joint effort by France's Creator/{{Zagtoon}} and Method Animation Studios with Creator/ToeiAnimation of Japan and Creator/{{SAMG}} of South Korea. It premiered in France and Belgium in October 2015, and in EBS in Korea on September 1, 2015.

30	The story is about Marinette Dupain-Cheng, a junior high school girl living in Paris. Using a pair of earrings and the magic of her FairyCompanion Tikki, she has the power to become the superheroine Ladybug. Joining in her adventures is a black-clothed CatBoy named Cat Noir, whose secret identity happens to be Adrien Agreste, Marinette's crush. Like Ladybug, he gains his power from his companion Plagg. Neither are aware of each other's identity, and thus proves to be a challenge for them. Ladybug and Cat Noir are pursued by the villainous Hawk Moth, who seeks to gather the [[TransformationTrinket Miraculous]][[{{Pluralses}} ...es]] for his own sinister purposes. To this end, he corrupts the ordinary citizens of Paris with his akuma, [[VillainPossessedBystander turning them into supervillains to do his bidding]], and it's up to the two to keep their powers from falling into the wrong hands and to protect Paris from the various evil forces.

32	The animated series has gained attention for its well-animated fight scenes, comedic [[https://featuredanimation.com/miraculous-ladybug-characters/ characters]], and frenetic action that's a good deal more physical than many MagicalGirl shows. It has a whopping budget of ''US$11.2 million''.[[note]]This is an average of $460,000 per episode, which is four to five times the budget of an average anime episode and 1.5 times the budget of an average WesternAnimation episode.[[/note]]
