Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir

Glaciator 2 is an episode of the French‑produced animated series Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, now making its first terrestrial broadcast in the UK. It stars the usual pair—Marinette Dupain‑Cheng (Ladybug) and Adrien Agreste (Cat Noir)—plus the frosty villain Glaciator. The premise is simple: Marinette can’t tell Adrien she likes him, so she ropes Cat in for a rehearsal. During the rehearsal, Cat Noir tries to coach Marinette on confidence, but the chemistry they share starts to feel a bit too close for the other characters. Meanwhile Glaciator freezes the city’s power grid, turning everyday objects into icy traps. The episode juggles the love‑triangle tension with a classic ‘hero‑vs‑villain’ showdown, all while keeping the humour light. Look, honestly, it’s not a game‑changer for the series but it’s surprisingly good for a filler‑type episode. The animation still has that crisp French‑style flair, though some of the ice effects look a bit ropy by today’s standards. The pacing drags a tad in the middle, but the banter between Marinette and Cat is proper fun, especially if you’re a fan of the original. Fair warning: rated PG, the episode contains mild peril and a touch of teenage romance, so it’s fine for younger viewers but parents might want to note the occasional tense freeze‑frame scenes. It aired as part of season 2 on Disney Channel and, for the UK, marks the first terrestrial showing, so grab the slot if you’ve missed it.
