Miraculous: Tales from Paris is a series of 2D-animated webisodes released on YouTube.[2] They are designed by Angie Nasca.[3] According to the official Tumblr blog, 26 webisodes were originally planned.[4] The web series first launched on January 18, 2017, on the Miraculous Ladybug YouTube Channel. After five episodes, production ceased on Tales from Paris, and production moved onto the chibi series.[5]
Description
The series is about the everyday life of Marinette, and it features various students from Miss Bustier's class.[6][7] According to André Lake Mayer, "The 2D format will let us explore new creative executions while staying true to the 'Zag style' of inspirational storytelling, visually intriguing, fun, relevant and high quality content."[8]
Marinette wants to go to the movies to be with Adrien but must stay and help her parents bake macarons at the Bakery. Alya, Juleka, and Rose come to the rescue to help Marinette so that she’ll be done on time to go see Adrien.
Marinette must write a short essay on someone who inspires her but struggles to decide who. She finally finds inspiration in her parents.
