Abstract
This study explores the potential of animation as a visual medium for reconstructing local myths and preserving cultural heritage in contemporary society. Amid rapid globalization and digitalization, many local myths are at risk of fading from public consciousness. The objective of this research is to analyze how animation can serve as an effective storytelling tool to revitalize and transmit traditional narratives to younger generations. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, the study examines selected animated works that reinterpret local myths from various regions in Indonesia. The findings indicate that animation provides a dynamic platform to reintroduce mythological elements through engaging visuals and narratives while maintaining cultural authenticity. Moreover, the integration of modern visual techniques helps bridge the generational gap, making traditional stories more relatable and accessible. This study highlights the role of visual communication in cultural sustainability and encourages further interdisciplinary collaboration in the fields of design, folklore, and education.
