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 Europe, Asia and Latin America, receiving consistently high viewership and becoming an international success of merchandise, soundtrack albums, and concert tours.

Patito Feo is set in the Pretty Land School of Arts, a prestigious private music school on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, with a major plot line revolving around two teen girl groups – Las Populares, led by Patito Castro (Laura Esquivel) and Las Divinas, led by Antonella Lamas Bernardi (Brenda Asnicar) – who will compete to win the talent show and sign a record label.
