<![CDATA[Character education at the primary-school level requires learning experiences that translate moral concepts into concrete and memorable examples. This article describes a community-service activity that used an animated film to introduce the exemplary values of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to students of SD Negeri 17 Gantiang, Nagari Sitanang. The activity was conducted in Jorong Gantiang on 11 June 2026 through an educational and participatory approach. Its stages included preliminary coordination, selection of age-appropriate animated material, guided viewing, question-and-answer activities, reflective discussion, and reinforcement of everyday behavioural examples. Data were obtained through direct observation, students’ oral responses, field notes, and photographic documentation, and were interpreted descriptively. The implementation showed that animated storytelling helped focus students’ attention and provided a concrete entry point for discussing honesty, trustworthiness, responsibility, patience, politeness, intelligence in decision-making, and care for others. Students were encouraged to connect the story with familiar situations at school, such as completing assignments responsibly, speaking truthfully, respecting teachers and friends, and helping classmates. The activity did not use a pre-test or post-test; therefore, its achievement is reported qualitatively rather than statistically. The program indicates that animated films become more educationally meaningful when viewing is accompanied by guided reflection and consistent reinforcement by teachers.
