The problem addressed in this study is the low level of prosocial behavior among children aged 5–6 years, caused by less interactive learning methods. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of animated media on children’s prosocial behavior. This study employs a quantitative approach using an experimental method (one-group pre-treatment and post-treatment design). The sample consists of 15 children selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through observation and analyzed using an N-Gain score of 0.52 (moderate category) and a Paired Samples T-test (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05). These results indicate a significant difference between pre-treatment and post-treatment. The alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, meaning that animated media has an effect on children’s prosocial behavior
