Abstract

Family values are principles, specifically traditional or conservative values, that are held to promote the sound functioning of the family and to strengthen the fabric of society. It can be found anywhere, even in movies. In the Coco Film made by Pixar Animation Studios, family value is one of the significant values that made an impact on the conflicts. This research identifies the effect of family values in overcoming conflicts within the movie. The data in this qualitative research is collected by watching the film repeatedly, collecting the script, and dividing the conflict scene and the family values. The data analysis began with analyzing the characters’ characterization by interpreting the scenes and dialogues. Then, the conflicts were analyzed to reveal the effects of family values in overcoming the conflicts. The result reveals that there is one major character and six minor characters in the story. Three family values that influence conflicts are the values of responsibility, loyalty, and honesty. The value of responsibility helps the main character’s conflict to return back to his family and to get the family acceptance. The family value of honesty overcomes the misunderstanding between the family members. Lastly, the acceptance in the family is also imposed by the value of loyalty. Keywords: Coco Film, character, conflicts, family values
