Abstract

Character education plays a vital role in shaping an individual’s moral and emotional development. Nowadays, there are many ways to acquire and learn character education values, one of the ways is using movie as the media. Movie, as part of edutainment, provide an effective medium to convey moral messages in an engaging way. Inside Out 2, a sequel to Pixar’s critically acclaimed movie, introduces new emotional dimensions and is an ideal object for analyzing character education values. This research explores how these values are embedded in the characters’ dialogue and interactions throughout the movie.
This study aims to identify the character education values represented in Inside Out 2 and analyze how these values are represented throughout the movie. In line with this focus, the main question explored in this research is: What are the character education values represented in Inside Out 2 Movie?
To answer the question, the researcher used qualitative as the approach in analyzing character education values in the utterances of the movie. The data of this research were the characters' utterances in Inside Out 2 Movie. Data collection was carried out through document analysis by downloading the movie and script, watching the movie multiple times, and examining the dialogue closely. The researcher then organized, coded, and categorized the utterances according to Donald Ary’s theory. Each utterance was analyzed using Linda Eyre’s theory of character education values specifically the Value of Being and Value of Giving. To ensure the validity of the data, the researcher used investigator triangulation, involving two English lecturers as validators to compare and confirm the researcher's analysis.
After analyzing the data, the researcher found two primary categories of character education values represented by the ten main characters in the movie. These categories are the value of being and the value of giving. Among the two, the value of being emerged as the most dominant, appearing 32 times throughout the movie. This value reflects intrinsic qualities such as honesty, bravery, peace, self-discipline, self-confidence, and sincerity, which are fundamental to shaping moral character. Meanwhile, the value of hiving was also significantly represented, occurring 23 times, and includes behaviors that demonstrate loyalty, respect, loving and affection, kind and friendly, and fair and humanist. The findings suggest that the movie places strong emphasis on internal moral development and interpersonal ethics, making it a rich source for exploring character education through media content. These results support the relevance of using animated movie as instructional tools to convey moral values in an engaging and relatable way.
