14''Sadie Sparks'' is an Irish-French animated TV series produced by Brown Bag Films and Creator/CyberGroupStudios.
15
16As the [[ExpositoryThemeTune theme song]] perfectly explains, the series follows the enchanting misadventures of a 14-year-old girl, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Sadie Sparks]], who finds out she has magical abilities and becomes a wizard-in-training with the guidance and mentorship from a very old and grumpy rabbit, Gilbert. He was sent to the human world from the Magical Realm to train Sadie and harness her volatile magical skills. Sadie must navigate [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent the challenging world of high school]], juggling exams whilst training to be a wizard, on top of keeping it a secret to all but her best friends, [[PluckyComicRelief Teepee]] and [[TheSmartGuy Lulu]], who accompany her adventures.
17
18The art style of the series is [[AllCGICartoon typically CGI]], but the Magical Realm segments [[MediumBlending are done in 2D]].
19
20''Sadie Sparks'' premiered 20 April 2019 on Creator/DisneyChannel in the UK and Ireland, but the first episode was released a week earlier on their Website/YouTube channel. The series is also planned to premiere in the US on the same channel. The intro to the series can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxFBWtmcXYI here]], and the trailer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW88GRIrIbw here]].

22!!This show contains magical examples of the following tropes:
23
24* ABoyAndHisX: A trainee wizard girl and her talking rabbit mentor.
25* AlliterativeName: '''S'''adie '''S'''parks.
26* AllCGICartoon: Well, partially CGI as the Magical Realm segments are done in 2D.
27* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Sadie's kid brother Max, an aspiring scientist whose [[BunglingInventor "inventions"]] never work out as intended, often embarrassing Sadie in the process.
28* BettyAndVeronica: Sadie has a crush on blonde {{Muggle}} NiceGuy Sam, and constantly butts heads with brunette rival wizard-in-training Blaine.
29* BorrowedCatchphrase: In the season finale, Sadie's friends have a collective "Oh. My. Giddy!" while Sadie [[spoiler: risks her life to seal a rift.]]
30* CatchPhrase: "Oh, my giddy!"
31* ExpositoryThemeTune: The theme explains that Sadie is a wizard-in-training and that she is helped by her bunny Gilbert and friends.
32* FreudianTrio: Teepee (Id), Sadie (Ego), and Lulu (Superego).
33* MagicMisfire: Most episodes involve Sadie's magic going haywire - if it's not an accident during training, it's an attempt to help herself or her friends getting way out of hand.
34* MediumBlending: The series has an ArtShift between the CGI Human World and the 2D Magical Realm.
35* MentorMascot: Gilbert the rabbit serves as Sadie's guide to magic.

37-->'''Blaine:''' Seriously, what ''does'' she see in him?\
38'''Everyone else:''' Ooohhh!

40* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Sadie..except for the whole "wizard in training" thing.
41* PersonalGainHurts: Any time Sadie uses magic to give herself or her friends a leg up at something, it goes haywire.
42* PluckyComicRelief: Teepee is an excitable pop culture nerd, and of the three kids he's the most likely to crack jokes or suffer mishaps.
43* RabbitMagician: Gilbert is an ancient 700-year-old grumpy rabbit who is training Sadie in magic.
44* SecretChaser: The school principal is secretly (to everyone but Sadie and her friends) part of an MIB-style group, and is constantly trying to find proof of the various supernatural goings-on in town.
45* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Sadie and Blaine, on more than one occasion.
46* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: Gilbert is a grumpy 700 year old rabbit who is seldom impressed by his student's magical aptitude.
47* TalkingAnimal: Gilbert is a talking rabbit.
48* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Sadie has to balance her academic life with saving the world from magical disasters. Of course, those disasters are often of her own making, but still...
