Everything OK, Nino?
We came as soon as we got your message.
Adrien was me giving me a tamarin lesson.
I mean, Mandarin lesson!
The situation is serious, my friends.
We're gonna need your help, Adrien!
Uh… All right, what can I do?
First, I gotta tell you why we're here.
Hm?
[tense music]
As you know, the Seine is a river.
Its current acts like a conveyor belt carrying anything that falls in it
out to the ocean, including plastic waste.
I can't believe there's so much plastic in the Seine.
Plastic is everywhere! Even in our clothes!
If no one tackles the plastic problem, who will?
Exactly, which is why we've decided to take matters into our own hands.
We're converted the houseboat into an ecological water-treatment plant.
It's allowing us to intercept the numerous plastic items
that fall into the Seine and pollute it.
The problem with plastic is that it doesn't decompose.
All the plastic that's been made and we've used
has ended up in the environment.
And is still there in one form or another.
-That's terrible! -[thud]
[all shout]
This morning, the situation suddenly got worse.
If this keeps up, my houseboat will sink!
[Markov] We've detected a large increase of plastic waste in the Seine,
all from the same item.
Same item? What do you mean?
Paris City Hall decided to install vending machines everywhere
in order to sell these.
[both] It's so hot out!
Look at these adorable hand fans.
And since they're so affordable, we can switch them up as much as we want.
That way, every day will feel unique.
The Morpho Fan, designed by Gabriel,
is the must-have accessory to fight the heat.
Available everywhere! A Bertrand King creation.
I'm sorry, I didn't even know about this.
We know it's a 3-D avatar of you.
-It's not your fault, Adrien. -[loud clang]
The engine won't hold out.
There's too much plastic to get rid of!
We have to abandon ship, sailors!
[tense music]
[rumbling]
[slams and groaning]
[blast]
[all gasp]
[Nino] This is why we need you, buddy.
These fans are a major eco disaster. You have to talk to your old man.
You know how my father is. He won't listen to me.
What if we tried to solve this another way?
By going straight to the root of the problem.
[harrowing music]
[Tom] Ten boxes of plastic macaron trays,
20 boxes of plastic cake decorations,
100 boxes of plastic pastry labels
and last but not least,
-10,000 plastic bags. -Ah!
OK, Dad, we're on it.
[sigh]
Are you kids sure you don't mind?
Of course not! Daughters help parents
and friends help friends, so friends help friends
help friends' parents, right, parents?
I mean, friends?
And the 10,000 plastic candy bags
for the Dupain-Cheng Bakery, it's all here.
Thank you, sir. Oh, excuse me, sir,
would it be possible for us to meet your boss?
Mr. Bertrand King? The King of Plastics?
Haha! No! He never comes here.
Bosses are up there, at the top of the social ladder.
And where can we find the top of the social ladder?
[King robot] Plastic is fantastic!
Let's recap: while the delivery team distracts the guards,
the cleaning team will go in through the service entrance.
We've been discovered!
Impossible!
With these disguises, we're completely undetectable.
You!
Uh, me?
You!
Nah, it's not me.
You must be mistaken.
You! It's you on the fans, isn't it?
-Uh… -Yes!
It is him, Adrien Agreste.
In the flesh! Amazing, right?
And it turns out we're escorting him, all of us,
to his meeting with Mr. Bertrand King.
Right, that's it! I'm, uh…
Here to discuss a new advertising campaign for the Morpho Fans.
-Right. -We're his personal team of…
Delivery and cleaning people.
[tense music]
Hm!
[chuckles]
Very well, but first…
[all gulp]
Can I get an autograph?
I'm listening.
We know how useful the invention of plastic has been.
It was made because it's strong, but also light,
and it doesn't cost a lot of money to make.
That's why companies like you started to make lots
of items we use every day made of plastic.
Mhm.
It brought about great medical advances.
It keeps our food fresher for longer
and makes it easy for us to carry things around.
The real problem is that too much plastic is being made and that most items
are only used once before being thrown away.
Products such as plastic bags, wrappers…
And your Morpho Fans.
[Adrien] What we've come to ask you
is to help us put an end to plastic pollution.
You could start making your fans from materials that do break down.
Yes, that are biodegradable!
The world won't change without us and you, Mr. Plastic!
Uh, Bertrand King!
I mean, Mr. King of Plastic!
[Marinette] We're done.
That was the clearest presentation I've ever been given,
and of course you're right.
People buy cheap plastic items, throw them away,
and buy those same plastic items over and over again.
[cheers]
-Awesome! -[King] But…
that's the point!
[Marinette] Huh?
Don't get me wrong, this is all intentional.
It's the wonderful cycle of throwing away and buying again that makes my fortune.
If people didn't throw away and buy new items again,
then I, Bertrand King, would no longer be the King of Plastic.
So… there's no way any of this is changing.
Look, what do you think your pens are made of.
That's right! Plastic!
What about your Alliance rings?
Could it be that they're also made of…
Plastic!
-Winner! -Yeah! I won!
Awesome! But what prize did I win?
-Plastic! -[gasp]
What about your robot?
What's he made of?
I know! I know! He's made…
I am an intelligent, sensitive being
and I am made of natural, biodegradable resin, not plastic!
All right, fine. Well, nobody's perfect.
But my plastic is perfect.
It's here forever, and the more plastic invades the world day after day,
the more I, Bertrand King, King of Plastic, become rich.
If I could, I'd be plastic myself.
[King robot] Plastic is fantastic!
[rock theme]
[Max] The King of Plastic has caused our enthusiasm
to drop 99.8 %.
There's no way we're standing by and doing nothing.
But Parisians love the Morpho Fans, my young friend.
Removing the vending machines installed by City Hall across Paris…
Would make it possible to reduce pollution.
But it would be very damaging to my image. Hm?
-[grumble] -[dark music]
Plastic can even be found in your clothes, and in these hand fans you designed.
If you could help us convince Bertrand King…
You know, Adrien, great designers have to make certain compromises.
These fans are only a trend, a way to keep the Gabriel brand thriving.
They'll disappear as soon as the heat wave is over.
[gasp] The damages they cause to the environment
will remain for several centuries.
It's been very nice to talk to you, Adrien.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do.
[harrowing music]
My father hasn't listened to me at all.
[sigh] Hm?
Hold on, we might have one more chance.
I just can't report Bertrand King's practices
in my news broadcast.
But why not?
Because the King of Plastic is also the king of our TV channel.
Money from his advertisements allows us to exist.
But if you don't talk about it, people will never know
why the products he sells cause pollution.
Please, Nadja, do it for Manon, for the world she'll grow up in.
If I did this, the world she'd grew up in
would be a world where her mom no longer had a job.
I'm sorry, Marinette.
Are you and Mommy mad at each other?
Not at all, Manon.
[news theme music]
Don't be bemused, it's just the news.
The Morpho Fan, designed by Gabriel,
is the must-have accessory to fight the heat, available…
It's about to start!
Twelve more seconds!
Ready everyone?
[news theme]
Don't be bemused, it's just the news.
Our first story today is a report
by Clara Contard
on the incredible heat wave
in Paris for a week now.
-We're good! -[click]
[Static]
Sorry to interrupt your TV news.
I'm Marinette, and for the past few days,
my friends and I have tried to raise awareness
of a serious problem to people who have the people to act,
but none of them have taken us seriously.
[both] Marinette?
There is indeed a critical issue affecting our entire planet right now!
We're talking about plastic pollution.
And if nothing is done, there will soon be more plastic
than fish in our oceans.
[Zoe] Therefore, it is urgent
for us to change our habits.
[Fei] All across the world,
we must now act responsibly.
We can all make good choices about the items
we use every day.
These fans, distributed in every city across the world
are manufactured with cheap plastics not meant to last.
Instead of being short-lived,
they could be sustainable and biodegradable.
These fans could be made out of bamboo, like this one.
It's so beautiful that you want to keep it forever.
Let's demand change from those who have the power
to implement environmentally sustainable solutions.
For the world of tomorrow is built by the choices
we all make today.
This initiative by young people all around the world
which you discovered as an exclusive live
in yesterday's broadcast
has solicited many reactions.
Naturally, I was not aware of this,
but as soon as I was informed, I had every Morpho Fan removed from Paris.
My city is at the forefront of the fight for pollution.
Uh, I mean, against pollution!
I can assure you that I had no idea my talent
would be misappropriated by a polluting company.
In the coming days, we will be tracking the progress
of this anti-plastic revolution.
-[Marinette laughing] -[cheers]
Your idea was brilliant, Marinette, as always!
Gabriel, why would you lie like this on TV?
You do realize I'll be ruined?
Come on now, you'll simply be less rich. You'll just get used to it.
I'll tell everyone you knew these fans were polluting.
Go ahead, no one will believe you!
-[frustrated grunting] -[dark music]
I can't miss out on such a great opportunity.
These feelings of betrayal are such powerful inspiration
for my Megakuma.
-Nooroo. -[ring]
Dark wings rise.
[suspenseful music]
[whirr]
[zaps]
Kaalki, your power is now mine!
Voyage, my Megakuma!
King of Plastic, I am Monarch.
How would you like the power to take revenge
on those who turn their backs on you?
And prove to the world that plastic is fantastic!
Absolutely.
[grunt]
[Monarch] Pollen, your power is now mine.
Transfer!
-[beeps] -[trilling]
[Monarch] To help you in battle,
I am also giving you the Power of Action
with which you can paralyze anyone who tries to escape from you.
[grunt] [chuckle]
[King] Well, then, André.
You no longer believe in the goodness of plastic
and money, do you?
Bertrand?
From now on, you may call me King of Plastic
and let me remind you how plastic is fantastic!
No! Help! Security!
Please, if you want, I can immediately reinstall
your plastic fan machines.
That won't be necessary.
This city doesn't need a useless mayor.
What it needs is a king of plastic!
Plastic is fantastic!
[suspenseful music]
In the name of the law, stop!
-Freeze! -Haha!
You freeze!
[officers shouting]
[King grunting]
[King] Fantastic!
Y'all were the mayor's play things, and now you'll really look the part!
Plastic play things, of course!
[cackling]
Plastic really is fantastic!
And now it's your turn, Gabriel Agreste!
I'm afraid Gabriel Agreste is unavailable at the moment.
[tense music]
Ni hao nushi.
Ni hao nu shi.
That's still not it, is it?
That was almost it.
Your hello was perfect,
the last syllable of "miss" has a falling tone.
Nushi.
Nu shi.
-[crash] -[shudders]
Was it so bad I triggered lightning?
I promised my father I'd go home at any sign of trouble.
-Will you be OK? -Yeah, don't worry.
I've got to review my Mandarin. [nervous laugh]
OK, see you later then.
[tense music]
There's no time to waste, the sooner Cat Noir saves Paris,
the sooner Adrien can get back to Marinette.
And the sooner I can eat Camembert.
Plagg, claws out!
[rock music]
[ring]
Monarch is polluting us with yet another one
of his super villains.
[theme music]
Tikki, spots on!
Yeah!
Miaow, M'Lady.
Perfect timing, Kitty Cat. Check this out.
There's a new villain in town.
And he's headed towards the house
of the famous designer Gabriel Agreste.
And his son, Adrien!
You were saying?
There's not a moment to lose! [grunt]
[King grunts]
Nothing will stop the reign of plastic!
[King chuckles]
No!
Didn't you see the news?
Plastic's going out of fashion!
This is all Gabriel Agreste's fault.
He's gonna pay for this.
[screeching rubber]
-Huh? -[grunt]
[Ladybug shouts]
Ladybug, is everything OK?
Once Ladybug and Cat Noir have been turned into plastic statues,
their Miraculous will finally be mine!
[Monarch] Delivered to my door!
Hey! He plasticized my staff!
You're the tycoon who makes all these polluting fans.
The King of Plastic, aren't you?
The King of Pollution, you mean.
Misinformation!
Plastic is fantast… Oh!
Fantastic would be you ending your reign and all the pollution you're causing!
And renounce my throne?
Ha! Never!
Didn't you want to take revenge on Gabriel Agreste?
He probably has more than one enemy.
[tense music]
Don't forget about our deal.
Yeah, yeah, even though they're not plastic,
I'll take care of their magic jewels.
[King] But also I must take my revenge!
[dance music]
You can't humiliate a king like me and go unpunished!
[suspenseful music]
A party without plastic cups or plastic balloons?
And without the King of Plastic,
it's not a real party!
[King chuckling]
Don't leave!
Thanks to me you'll be eternal and everlasting!
You'll see plastic is fantastic!
[grunt]
Go and hide in the hull!
-[upbeat theme music] -Lucky charm!
[chimes]
A plastic bag?
Your super power has quite a sense of humor!
This just goes to prove that plastic is almighty!
[both shudder]
At least it can't be turned into plastic.
Because it's already plastic!
-Good thinking, Cat Noir. -You're welcome, M'Lady.
We need more plastic!
Lots and lots of plastic!
[King] Finally, some wise words!
Are you serious, M'Lady?
I couldn't be more serious, Kitty.
I need as much plastic as can be found in the water!
Huh?
We've got to get the houseboat's treatment system running again.
It'll cause the same problem as it did last time.
The engine won't hold out, Alya!
Only this time, Ladybug will fix everything.
[harrowing music]
Ah!
Cat Noir, they're gonna need you in the hull!
Get to safety, everyone!
Cataclysm!
[creaking]
[steam whistling]
[explosion]
Oh!
[King shouts]
Hm…
No more evil doing for you, Megakuma.
[rock theme]
Time to de-evilize!
Gotcha!
Bye bye, little butterfly.
[groans] What am I doing here?
This is disgusting!
Aren't you gonna help me?
This is exactly what millions of sea animals
are going through around the world.
And they don't always have super heroes to offer a helping hand and save them.
OK, maybe plastic isn't always so fantastic
In the future, make the products you manufacture
reusable or recyclable and made from things that decompose.
You're right, I think I haven't realized
until now what plastic pollution really is.
[Ladybug] Mr. Bertrand, here's a magical charm
to help you remember your good resolution.
[All] Pound it!
[cheers]
Miraculous Ladybug!
[chimes]
[gasp] Huh?
Oh!
Factory tycoon Bertrand King, known for being the King of Plastic,
has financed the repair of the houseboat
which cleaned the Seine of all the plastic waste
that was polluting it.
I am done and over with disposable plastic.
I don't want to be responsible for the problem anymore.
I want to be part of the solution!
[Tom] Now that our daughter has made us aware of the issue,
we use wooden stirrers, wheat-straw cups, and cloth bags.
Everything is eco-friendly, reusable, and recyclable.
The school kids at the root of this tremendous
awareness-raising campaign have succeeded in creating a worldwide movement.
This is absolutely miraculous!
