If you have yet to see MIRACULOUS: TALES OF LADYBUG & CAT NOIR , now is the time to to get on-board - especially for those with kids ages 4-12. The French animated series was a from-out-of-nowhere hit that we stumbled upon by accident some months ago here at Rock Father HQ, soon setting it to "series record" on the DVR, and later checking out some of the original episodes (in French) online. The Rock Daughters™ are not alone in their love of MIRACULOUS , with the show already becoming a Top 5 hit for girls on Nickelodeon here in the U.S. (it airs on other networks in a total of 79 countries thus far), and on the cusp over a major breakthrough... and it's starting at Comic-Con International (SDCC) in San Diego this week.

The inspiring superhero CGI-animated series follows the "magically transforming" Ladybug and Cat Noir - a heroic duo that must face-off with and overcome a constant barrage of new villains and challenges, all while juggling their daily life as teenagers in Paris. While the target audience is kids ages 4-12, it's the type of series that has the huge potential to win fans far beyond that age range - and it has. Within the next few weeks, there will be a music video, a comic book, new episodes on Nickelodeon, a second DVD from Shout! Factory, and a full range of toys from the folks at Bandai.

SDCC activities will be spread between four booths: Shout! Factory/Shout! Kids #4118, Bandai #3535, Nickeloden #4113 and Action Lab #1735. In addition to the special events detailed below, Actress/Pop Star LAURA MARANO (AUSTIN & ALLY, BAD HAIR DAY) will release a "Miraculous" music video at SDCC on July 23rd (more details to follow).
