This study aims to analyze and describe the role of animated series as a medium for internalizing Islamic character values in the alpha generation. The development of the digital era has made various aspects of life more modern and instantaneous. However, behind this progress, there are also various negative impacts that have caused a decline in character among the younger generation and moral decadence. Therefore, it is important to instill and internalize Islamic character values in the alpha generation. This study uses a literature review method, which involves examining various sources of literature such as books and journals relevant to the issues discussed in this scientific paper. The internalization of character values in the millennial generation needs to be done from an early age, because if it is applied during adolescence or adulthood, the internalization process will be much more difficult. Therefore, it is important to start character building early by utilizing digital media, for example through animated series, which are now increasingly available. The process of internalizing character values through animated series can run optimally if it involves the role and cooperation of various parties, including families, educators, and animators.
