Patito Feo
Patito Feo is an Argentine children's and teen comedy drama telenovela produced by Ideas del Sur that originally aired on Canal 13 for two seasons, from 10 April 2007, to 3 November 2008. The series centers on Patito, a teenager with exceptional vocal talent who moves from a small town to Buenos Aires. She enrolls in a prestigious performing arts school, where students are divided into two rival groups, Las populares and Las divinas, the latter led by the arrogant Antonella. As she pursues musical success, Patito confronts lookism, intense school rivalries, a love triangle, and the mystery surrounding her biological father's identity.
Created by Alejandro Stoessel, Mario Schajris, and Marcela Citterio, Patito Feo was produced by Ideas del Sur in association with Televisa. It stars Laura Esquivel and Brenda Asnicar, alongside Juan Darthés, Griselda Siciliani and Gloria Carrá, with a large ensemble cast. Following its successful run in Argentina, Disney Channel acquired the series' broadcast rights and aired the show in over 40 countries across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Despite having received mixed reviews, Patito Feo achieved strong ratings and became an international phenomenon.
Alongside the series, three soundtrack albums and a live album were released, earning multiple certifications across Latin America and Southern Europe and supporting concert tours throughout both regions. In 2007, Patito Feo won the Martín Fierro Award for Best Children's-Youth Program and was nominated in the same category the following year. At the 2008 Gardel Awards, its music recordings received four awards. It was also nominated for the International Emmy Award for Best Children & Young People at the 36th ceremony.
