Patito Feo (in English, Ugly Duckling) is an Argentine telenovela produced by Ideas del Sur that aired in first run on Canal 13 from 2007 to 2008. After the show's success in Argentina, Disney Channel bought its broadcast rights and began broadcasting it internationally between July 2007 and March 2011 in over 50 countries across Europe, Asia and Latin America, receiving consistently high viewership and becoming a global phenomenon despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. The show is regarded as the highest-rated non-English teen series to achieve international success, excelling in album sales, world tours, and merchandising.

Set in the prestigious Pretty Land School of Arts in Buenos Aires, this telenovela follows the rivalry between two elite teen girl groups: Las Populares, known for their vibrant, fun-loving style and led by Patito Castro (Laura Esquivel), and Las Divinas, the epitome of glamour and diva essence, led by Antonella Lamas Bernardi (Brenda Asnicar). As they vie for dominance, both groups face off in a high-stakes music competition hosted by the most influential record label in America, in search of the next breakout star.
