Fantawild has acquired all Chinese rights to the IP and will invest and participate in the development of a feature film, which is aiming for a theatrical release in China.

The joint venture will also be involved in a TV series, as well as licensed merchandise and location-based entertainment (LBE) in China.

“ZAG and ON Kids & Family have opened a new chapter in their respective history,” said Thierry Pasquet, co-founder and CEO of ON Kids & Family.

Miraculous airs in more than 120 countries and has more than 9 million subscribers on YouTube. ZAG is currently producing the theatrical release of Miraculous.

Miraculous is a robust property that promotes girl power, and it’s exciting to finalize our agreement and bring it to China.

“The show is loved by kids globally, and we trust that the Chinese audience will also find it just as inspiring.”

“We at ZAG are so grateful that kids and families around the world have embraced the world of Miraculous,” said Jérémy Zag, founder and president of ZAG.

“China has always been a very special territory. Despite the growing demand, we remained patient and extremely selective in choosing only the best partner, which we have finally found with Fantawild.

“Fantawild’s expertise in creating experiential entertainment for kids and families with their theme parks compliments our content perfectly.

“We are beyond proud to be partners, and are excited for the future of Miraculous in China,” added Zag.

Fantawild has also teamed up with Coolabi Group to bring the popular Clangers brand to the Chinese market.
