Miraculous World: Paris, Tales of Shadybug and Claw Noir

In Miraculous World: Paris, Tales of Shadybug and Claw Noir, Ladybug and Cat Noir come up against visitors from a flipped parallel universe where roles are reversed. There, Shadybug and Claw Noir carry the names and powers of the heroes but use them for harm, while a heroic Betterfly holds the Butterfly Miraculous. As the antagonists aim to seize powerful Miraculouses and upset Paris, the originals cooperate with Betterfly to stop thefts and protect civilians. Alongside action and chase sequences, the story also gives space to humor and quieter moments as the team tries to reach the rival holders' better instincts without revealing how events end. Familiar allies such as Alya and Tikki appear, helping fully connect the two worlds.

Released in 2023 as an animated TV movie, the special was created by Thomas Astruc, Alban Rodriguez and Wilfried Pain. It sits inside the larger Miraculous franchise and notably features voices from Antoine Tomé, Anouck Hautbois, Benjamin Bollen and others.

As a television special there was no theatrical box office. It was widely distributed internationally in dubbed and subtitled forms, and it premiered on TV and streaming in 2023, delivering the episode-length feature directly to the franchise's audience rather than cinemas.

Fans responded strongly to the flipped morality and alternate versions of beloved characters, producing fan art, cosplay and online debate about who the real heroes are, and fan theories quickly emerged online. The new characters, especially Betterfly, also sparked interest in storylines that mix moral ambiguity with classic superhero action.

Audience ratings average 7.3/10 from 619 votes, indicating solid fan approval. Reviewers and viewers noted energetic action sequences, playful humor and an intriguing moral flip, while recurring themes include identity, responsibility, empathy and the possibility of change even for those who act badly. Some viewers wanted a longer runtime overall.
