The story of this is bizarre, which is fine for a kids movie. The characters are forced and shallow. I was startled when the first song busted out randomly with a completely mismatched voice. Marionette/Ladybug's singing voice is closed off and weak. The forgettable songs aren't needed and feel incredibly forced. A lot of this feels like "hey let's throw a song in here because we're probably supposed to." The movie being set in Paris seems like an excuse to animate famous landmarks, it doesn't feel anything like Paris or France otherwise. Really, this is probably a movie for 6 years olds or less because the writing, dialogue, acting, and songs are extremely poor in comparison to something with depth like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. More time needed to be spent developing both main characters and their worlds before they show the menacing design guy (also shallow) and the magic jewelry pieces. The concept of anyone finding ladybugs on the ground and deciding to try them as earrings/magically giving someone magic powers was so weird. The whole "believe in yourself" trope is seen for the billionth time and not rehashed in any sort of creative way. I can tell a lot of people put a ton of effort into this, but the final execution of this film didn't land correctly.

I'm not sure why peoplel r giving this movie 10. It's just short dense movie of the TV show, with little growth for the character. The singing was awful! To me the voice didn't go with the character. I agree with another reviewer who pointed out that you don't see plagg until later on. Even Marianette's dad is annoying. You dont' get the frustrstion of Marianette and Adrian idenity like you do in the show. Even the ending was disappointing as much as people want to see that happy ending, you learn from the TV show that it's impossible. Keep making the T. V. show instead! 100 percent better!!!!

So I'll say first off, as the brother of two younger sisters who are (along with me) huge miraculous fans, we all thouroughly enjoyed this movie. It's a heavily abridged version of the show's story, but on its own it's a great movie (with absolutely INCREDIBLE animation) and it in many ways delivers on the promises that the show has failed to deliver over the last couple years.

All that being said, I do recommend watching this movie twice: once in your own language and once in french, because this IS a musical, and the songs sound INFINITELY better in their native language.

TLDR: Good Movie!
