Abstract

General Background: Animation as a creative medium relies on narrative structure to construct engaging and meaningful storytelling that supports audience engagement and value transmission. Specific Background: MD Animation, recognized through the series Adit Sopo Jarwo, demonstrates a consistent storytelling approach rooted in local culture, structured narrative patterns, and edutainment principles. Knowledge Gap: Despite extensive studies on narrative structures across media, a focused narrative analysis of Adit Sopo Jarwo remains limited. Aims: This study analyzes the storytelling approach of MD Animation by examining narrative structure, character archetypes, and cultural elements within the “Kebhinekaan” episode. Results: The findings reveal a systematic application of the Three-Act Structure integrating diversity as a conflict trigger resolved through inclusivity, supported by contrasting character roles, humor-driven conflict progression, and explicit moral reinforcement through authoritative figures. The narrative consistently transforms complex social issues into accessible edutainment while embedding local wisdom such as mutual cooperation and deliberation. Novelty: This study identifies diversity as a structured storytelling model that operationalizes moral education through inclusive narrative resolution within Indonesian animation. Implications: The results contribute to understanding narrative strategies in the creative industry and provide a reference model for developing culturally grounded educational animation content.
