As the daddy of two younger women, I can communicate with some authority on this story. There’s a success present referred to as Miraculous the place a highschool woman in Paris additionally turns into a superhero. I gained’t go into the main points, however, as a superhero should do, she’s consistently saving the world. The woman’s superhero costume is ladybug themed, so her hero identify is Ladybug. Mediawan Group is outwardly the manufacturing firm behind this present, and it’s now partnering with BYD.

“Pushed by shared values of innovation, sustainability, and world openness, BYD and Mediawan are combining their experience to facilitate the funding and growth of premium content material,” BYD shares. Whereas the partnership could have a number of elements to it, the largest one appears to be collaboration linked to the discharge of a Miraculous film that’s in growth. Right here’s extra from BYD:

“First, the 2 corporations will develop collaborations that combine the BYD model in varied methods throughout Mediawan Group productions. This contains that includes BYD automobiles in upcoming flagship tasks, such because the just lately introduced ‘Miraculous®’ theatrical characteristic movie for the globally beloved franchise.

“Second, they’ll set up a joint ‘Construct Your Goals’ Award, celebrating the very best rising inventive and younger skills over the following three years on the sidelines of the Cannes Movie Pageant. Annually, the winner will obtain a €40,000 grant as a part of the award.

Notably, Ladybug, the favored superheroine from the internationally profitable French sequence ‘Miraculous – Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir’ will introduce a particular episode of the Miraculous Chibi sequence, to be launched on YouTube.”

For sure, this partnership will increase BYD’s attain in Europe and past. Will it increase BYD consciousness and purchases in a single day? I’m not so certain about that, particularly because it’s largely younger women who watch Miraculous. Nonetheless, it may assist BYD get just a few extra ft into the European market.

The Construct Your Goals motto does properly match with the dreamy, idealistic essential character of the present/film. I sit up for seeing how BYD electrical automobiles are featured.
