Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana penggambaran karakter dalam film animasi
anak-anak Orion and The Dark (2024) menggambarkan transformasi emosional dari rasa takut menuju
keberanian, serta implikasinya bagi pendidikan anak usia dini. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif
dengan analisis konten film berdasarkan teori perkembangan emosional anak, teori pembelajaran sosial Bandura, dan konsep sosial-emosional learning (SEL). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa Orion, tokoh utama yang mengalami transformasi emosional melalui tiga tahap: (1) pengenalan rasa takut sebagai emosi alami, (2) eksplorasi situasional melalui interaksi dengan makhluk-makhluk malam, dan (3) penerimaan diri dan keberanian bertindak. Film ini menekankan bahwa keberanian tidak berarti bebas dari rasa takut, melainkan kemampuan untuk bertindak meskipun dalam kondisi cemas. Implikasi bagi pendidikan anak meliputi penggunaan pembelajaran berbasis cerita, diskusi emosional, dan aktivitas berbasis permainan untuk memperkuat ketahanan emosional anak.
