IRIS’ life is turned upside down when she learns that the pop girl group, LOLIROCK, is holding an audition in her town she decides to try out …

As soon as she grabs the microphone and starts to sing, she’s surrounded with the glow of a thousand magical lights !!!

Little did she know, the stars of Lolirock, TALIA and AURIANA, have been searching and have finally found THEIR missing Princess!

The LoliRock Princesses are reunited at last !!!

LOLIROCK is based on an unwavering friendship between three princesses who live together and tour members of the group, LOLIROCK. They also share a secret: they come from a distant land Ephedia.

While making this world a better place, they use their magical powers to collect oracle gems which will help them save their own planet from the Evil tyrant, Gramorr.

Together they fight against injustices to find the magical gems that will free Ephedia. ©2013 Marathon Média – MFP - Avec la participation de France Télévisions et The Walt Disney Company France

I bet good money they'll change the series name when it goes international or before it actually launches.

Imma guess somebody doesn't know what "loli" means.

It's so...damn...girly!

"Lol Loli Rock" etc. Title is appropriately self-aware.

It's a Magical Girl show with definite Magic Music and Pop Idol Magical Girls. Talk about tradition.

Also I wonder if they'll lambast the recording industry with Take Thats against their foul practices.

I don't have a problem with Magical Girl or anything, but this seems to be going a little overboard with the "appeal to things 8-year-old girls like." It still piques my interest a little, so I'll give it a shot. Even though I find pop music in general absolutely dreadful.

Fuck it, I'll pass on this one. I already have another one aimed at five-year olds I'm looking forward to (Totally Spies), and I would otherwise need a lot of counter-ballance to ensure my manliness.

Let me ask. Do children really like rock groups? Or is it because executives keep showing them rock groups in media so they have nothing else to get interested in?

You know, it's like, take one group of people (teenage girls) and put them in unusual jobs or situations that seem cool (teen rock band who are secretly princesses).

It's the same for Totally Spies (teenage schoolgirls who are super spies), The Amazing Spiez! (teen kids who are super spies), Monster Buster Club (elementary school kids who hunt aliens), did I miss something? Martin Mystery? (teen boy and his sis who solve mystery stuff?)

I'm calling it, in the future, they'll take a bunch of teenage boys and make them, like, interpretive dancers who save the world with interpretive dance or something.

Rock music and feudal structures: together at last!

So is she a princess because she's the daughter of a king or because she married into it? I sincerely hope the former...

EDIT: Ooh, just noticed how appropriate my avatar is :)

I thought Gravity Falls was supposed to be a step in the right direction for Disney's TV animated fare - I thought Friendship Is Magic (and (but not that much, sadly!) Littlest Pet Shop (2012) - only because I like that show now, too!) was supposed to be a step in the right direction for female protagonists...

GODDAMN IT, DISNEY! Too many steps to count back as usual, as far as I'm concerned.

How is this Disney's fault? This is being made by Marathon, so of course its gonna blow.

As for the name, I cant help but wonder if the name was chosen on purpose to raise controversy just to spread word about the show...

[up]Because Disney endorsed & picked it up (in place of far better fare that they stupidly and pointlessly cancelled!!). That's all I need to go off of, and I feel it's more than justified to be angry at what is clearly a time/resource sink.

[up] From what I can see, its only Disney France who picked it up. Disney Austrailia picked up She-Zow, but thats the fault of....whichever animation studio Im too lazy to look up right now.

[up] They better NOT show this here in the US, that's for sure. (And if you know what I'm talking about) We got enough female-aimed cartoons - that actually and thankfully DON'T suck. Let's keep it that way, alright?
