<![CDATA[The rapid development of animated cartoons in digital media is not always accompanied by the integration of moral education values, potentially influencing children's behavior, including emotional instability and aggressive tendencies. Although previous studies have examined character-building values in animation, limited research has specifically categorized moral education values using semiotic indicators in children's digital learning media. This study aimed to identify and analyze moral education values related to relationships with God, oneself, others, and nature in Riko The Series Season 2. A qualitative approach was employed using documentary study and content analysis methods. Data were collected through non-participant observation and documentation of five selected episodes (Episodes 11, 15, 16, 17, and 20) considered rich in moral dilemmas relevant to early childhood education. Data analysis involved data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that Riko The Series effectively functions as an educational digital medium by embedding moral values such as respect for parents, mutual assistance, patience, cleanliness, trustworthiness, honesty, humility, and gratitude. These findings suggest that structured digital animation can be optimized as an alternative medium for strengthening character education and Islamic values among children in the digital era.]]>
