Abstract

The phenomenon of speech delay in early childhood in Indonesia is increasingly prevalent, with estimates ranging from 5% to 8% among preschool-aged children, according to the Indonesian Pediatric Society (IDAI). One environmental factor under scrutiny is children's exposure to non-dialogue animated films, which are widely broadcast on Indonesian television, such as Larva, Shaun the Sheep, and Masha and the Bear. These shows rely heavily on visual storytelling and character expressions without spoken dialogue, raising concerns about their impact on children's language development. This study aims to analyze how children aged 3 to 8 interpret non-dialogue animated films through a visual semiotic lens. Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory is employed to examine the denotative and connotative meanings of visual signs, while Charles Sanders Peirce’s model is used to classify signs into icons, indices, and symbols. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this study analyzes visual texts and observes children's interpretive responses. The findings indicate that although children can grasp basic narrative messages through visual cues, the absence of verbal language input may hinder vocabulary growth and expressive language development, particularly in the absence of adult interaction. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between non-verbal media consumption and the risk of speech delay in early childhood in Indonesia.

Abstract

Raya and The Last Dragon is one of the first animated fantasy films produced by Disney that elevates and displays the cultural identities of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos and Singapore. This animated film depicts a fantasy world called Kumadera country which is divided into five regions namely Heart, Fang, Spine, Talon and Tail. The five regions seem to describe the diverse Indonesian nation "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" which means the unity and oneness of the Indonesian nation. This animated film is packed with artistic elements of Indonesian culture including Wayang kulit, batik, keris, pencak silat, gamelan, gadang houses, food, and people's behavior. This animated film applies the artistic design of several visual elements such as location sets, decorations, props, costumes and all work units that represent Indonesian culture. This research method uses descriptive qualitative using artistic theory and Roland Barthes semiotic cultural approach. The results of this study were analyzed using artistic theory and contextual understanding of signs and meanings from Roland Barthes' semiotic theory which divides the meaning systems of denotation, connotation and myths that implement Indonesian culture.
