Trivia[]
- Internationally, the special episodes first premiered in Canada on Télé-Québec for French viewers on March 4, and 5th, 2016, respectively.
- It was advertised as the Season 2 premiere (episode 14 and 15) in South Korea.
- The French title for the two-parter is called "Origines".[5]
- Meanwhile, the Korean title for the special is "탄생! 레이디버그" which translates to "Rise! Ladybug".
- The first part of the special, "Ladybug & Cat Noir" doesn't include an end card.
- This was one of Thomas Astruc's favorite episodes to direct.[6]
- Rather than being the season finale, Thomas considers the origins episodes, to be "a special 2-parter to be watched after the series."[7]
- Before the first origins episode aired, a fan created a comic similar to Spider-Man's origin story. It is currently Thomas' Twitter header and appears in the Miraculous Secrets episode "Ladyblog".
Errors[]
- In earlier versions of the special, there were many more errors as compared to the final release. These errors include certain objects glowing (the Moth Miraculous) or being transparent (Cat Noir's ring). This is due to the show's staff still working on the episodes whilst they were still in production. These errors have since been corrected in subsequent release of the episodes.
