History WesternAnimation / LadybugAndCatNoirTheMovie

** Ladybug and Cat Noir are completely unrecognizable with nothing but {{Domino Mask}}s obstructing their faces. [[spoiler:Cat Noir losing half his mask is enough for Gabriel to recognize him.]]

** [[spoiler:During the climax, Cat Noir accidentally touches the Eiffel Tower with his Cataclysm, which weakens the metal. Hawk Moth then creates an explosion that collapses the whole thing. It's later repaired by Ladybug's WorldHealingWave though]].

* ShapeDiesShifterSurvives: The gargoyle villain that serves as the first villain Ladybug and Cat Noir fight ends up deakumatizing after being run over by a train. Once the smoke dissipates, the man who was the base of the gargoyle is shown to be unharmed, if a little bit disoriented.

** Because the film centers around the origins of Ladybug and Cat Noir, and either simplifies or removes stuff from later seasons altogether, [[spoiler:Émilie is shown to be in a coma but the whole deal of a damaged Peacock Miraculous being responsible for it is omitted, leaving the cause as an enigma]].

* BroadStrokes: Marinette still gets her Miraculous from Master Fu in a sense, but it's Tikki who chooses Marinette after Marinette saves Master Fu's life, rather than Master Fu engineering that scenario to test her.

** {{Downplayed}} with Akumatization. In the show, the way it works is that an akuma enters the victim's item, allowing Hawk Moth talk to them to convince them to join his forces, and only once they accept can he grant them powers. Here, the akuma enters the victim's body, then amplifies the negative emotions of the target until they end up akumatized without a deal being required, as shown with his first victim (subsequent ones are criminals Hawk Moth intentionally recruited and empowered). Additionally, in the show, the heroes deakumatize the villains by breaking the object housing the akuma. In the movie, the villain just needs to take significant damage.

* ShoutOut: Gabriel recalls saying [[Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService "We have all the time in the world"]] to Émilie. Bonus points for both utterances related to love... [[spoiler:and also both addressees being dead wives]].

* AdaptedOut: Stoneheart, Ivan's akumatized form, served as the first villain that Ladybug and Cat Noir ever faced. In here, however, he's nowhere to be found; with a different character being akumatized instead while Ivan remains in the background.

** Gabriel is still not a very nice person, being a supervillain, but he isn't abusive or controlling of Adrien, just emotionally neglectful. [[spoiler:When he finds out that Adrien is Cat Noir, he is horrified that he hurt his son and stops immediately]], which is the complete opposite of what happened in the series. And while in the series, his desire to [[spoiler: bring his wife back is extremely selfish in nature, here he makes clear that a lot of it is motivated by Adrien's well-being, as he feels he isn't up to the job of being a single parent and that Adrien is better off with his mother than without her.]]

* GlassSmackAndSlide: During the fight against the Mime, Cat Noir is sent flying into the FerrisWheelOfDoom, landing on the window of the cabin holding Chloé and Sabrina. He tries to talk to them reassuringly while his face is smushed against the glass.

* IntrepidReporter: Nadja is shown narrating a news report while Paris looks like a literal war zone.

* EnemyRisingBehind: Inside Notre Dame, while Cat Noir is busy boasting that his super senses prevent anybody from sneaking up on him, the Gargoyle -- the first of Hawk Moth's akumatized monsters -- is slowly rising up right behind him, to Ladybug's alarm. Cat Noir doesn't notice the monster's presence until he accidentally sticks the tip of his staff into the Gargoyle's nostril by gesticulating.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Chloe in the series was a CardCarryingJerkass who used her father's political status to avoid punishment. Here, she folds from harassing Marinette after she realizes Alya is recording her, instead waiting after school when there's no witnesses to torment her.

** Adrien talks to Plagg about how brave Ladybug is, as Marinette is having a panic attack. He then says how impressive she must have found him, as Marinette tells Tikki about how ridiculous Cat Noir is.

* AlternateContinuity: The film is an adaptation of the series' origin story, but has a number of deviations: the character personalities and dynamics of much of the cast are slightly altered, the various Miraculous powers [[AdaptationalSuperpowerChange work differently]] (often to simplify how they function), and the end of the film has [[spoiler:Gabriel sent to prison after surrendering, likely [[SparedByTheAdaptation preventing]] his eventual death in the show, as well as Marinette and Adrien finding out each others secret identities]], showing that film continuity going forward is not going to be a straightforward retelling of the series.

** Marinette and Adrien wear Flik Flak brand watches.

** Ivan is a minor case. While he's never been a very important character, him and his akumatized form, Stoneheart, are the main antagonists of the origins episode, which is what the film is based on. However, he remains a background character for the whole film, while the first villain role is instead given to a supervillain named Gargoyle.

* MetaphoricallyTrue: It is said that the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses united posses a power stronger than death, which Gabriel seeks to use to bring Émilie back to life. He later realizes that [[spoiler:this was referring to the fated love between the Miraculous holders, not a literal resurrection power]].

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: The akumatized villains lose their sanity upon transformation, albeit some are genuinely criminals even before getting akumatized. It turns out Hawk Moth is also this for Gabriel, as even if he retains some form of control over himself, he and Nooroo let it be known that he's being consumed by Hawk Moth when he uses the brooch, and it's only a matter of time until hate and chaos completely overtake him...

* RefusalOfTheCall: The "You are Ladybug" querelling duet between Tikki and Marinette.

* RefusingTheCall: Marinette initially doesn't want to be Ladybug, and Tikki has to forcibly transform her for the first time, then literally drag her along. It's not until the attack at the fair that Marinette finally accepts her destiny.
