Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir, The Movie

Marinette Dupain-Cheng, a socially anxious teenager, struggles to fit in at school while trying to avoid drawing attention to herself. She navigates the complex social dynamics, including her friendship with Alya and the antagonism from Chloé Bourgeois, a wealthy and popular girl.

While attempting to evade Chloé's bullying, Marinette runs into Adrien Agreste, the charming son of a famous fashion designer. Intrigued by Adrien's kind nature, she develops a crush on him, unaware of the emotional distance he maintains due to his own family struggles.

Due to the grief over his wife's death, Adrien's father, Gabriel, transforms into Hawk Moth using the Butterfly Miraculous. Consumed by his desire to resurrect Emilie, he sets out to gather the Miraculous needed for his wish, causing chaos in Paris.

Wang Fu, the guardian of the Miracle Box, becomes aware of Hawk Moth's threat and decides to release the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous. Both Marinette and Adrien find their respective Kwamis, Tikki and Plagg, leading them to transform into Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Ladybug and Cat Noir, now partners, confront their first major villain, Gargoyle, an akumatized creature created by Hawk Moth. Together, they face challenges while discovering the importance of teamwork and their roles as heroes.

Despite their success, Marinette initially hesitates to embrace her role as Ladybug, feeling overwhelmed by the responsibilities that come with it. However, with Hawk Moth's continuing attacks, she realizes she must step up to protect her city.

During a carnival, Hawk Moth unleashes chaos by recruiting new villains. Gathering her courage, Marinette transforms into Ladybug once more and joins forces with Cat Noir to restore order, showcasing her growth as a hero.

As the months pass, both Marinette and Adrien prepare to confess their feelings to each other, unaware of their shared identities. Their attempts ultimately fail, resulting in frustration and heartbreak.

Feeling defeated after numerous failures, Hawk Moth akumatizes himself, unleashing an apocalypse upon the streets of Paris. This catastrophic event forces Ladybug and Cat Noir to confront him directly, escalating the stakes.

During the battle with Hawk Moth, Cat Noir's mask is damaged, revealing his true identity to Hawk Moth. This revelation leads to a dramatic confrontation that unravels family secrets and tests the bonds between father and son.

After defeating Hawk Moth, Marinette regains her earrings, reclaiming her powers. She returns the Butterfly Miraculous to Wang Fu while using her abilities to mend the destruction caused by the battle, signaling her growth as a true hero.

On the day of the Winter Ball, Marinette arrives in a stunning dress, capturing the attention of her peers. She has an emotional encounter with Adrien, revealing her knowledge of his identity, which marks the beginning of their romantic relationship.

In a significant moment at the Winter Ball, Marinette and Adrien share a heartfelt kiss after revealing their true identities to each other. This marks a pivotal turn in their relationship, as they embrace their feelings openly.

After the ball, Nathalie Sancoeur, the Agrestes' assistant, secretly visits the basement of their home and uncovers a shocking truth. There, she finds the body of Adrien's mother, wearing the Peacock Miraculous, hinting at deeper family secrets and connections.
