<![CDATA[his study aims to describe the forms of linguistic politeness maxims based on Leech’s concept and the functions of politeness according to Chaer, as represented in the dialogues of the animated film Jumbo by Ryan Adriandhy and Widya Arifianty. A descriptive qualitative approach with a pragmatic orientation was applied in this study. The research data consists of speech fragments between characters in the film Jumbo, obtained through the listen-and-note technique on the official dialogue transcript. The data analysis process follows Miles and Huberman’s streaming model, which includes the stages of data reduction, data presentation in classification tables, and the drawing of theoretical conclusions. The analysis results indicate that interactions between characters in the film Jumbo adhere to linguistic politeness norms dominated by the fulfillment of the maxim of wisdom and the maxim of agreement. Functionally, this form of politeness is manifested through the declarative and interrogative functions to maintain social harmony within the family environment. These findings confirm that children’s animated media can serve as a vehicle for the transmission of polite and educational language.]]>
