INTRODUCTIONMoral comes from the Latin " mores " which means procedures in life, habits, and customs (Magesa, 2014). Moral is defined as carrying out the rules that apply to the people who inhabit an area with an objective sense of responsibility and are closely connected with legal regulations. While the definition of morality is a product that is inherent in one human being and cannot be found in one creature. Morals can be obtained from interactions between humans or with the environment itself (Feinberg, Willer 2013).
Interaction between humans can be done directly or indirectly. Direct interaction, namely by meeting other people with the aim of exchanging information. While indirect interaction is using communication tools such as telephones and more broadly such as mass media such as newspapers, magazines, and television.
Regarding indirect interactions, in the last 15 years, the world of cinema has become increasingly widespread. From one of the private and local television stations, and in the millennium era like now, even with the internet, we can access movies. Not only that, watching movies in theaters remains a mainstay of the millennial era. Unfortunately, the increasingly sophisticated technology does not escape the negative aspect. This certainly attracts considerable debate among adults who are quite concerned about films for children.
Of course, because they see some television shows that can have a negative effect on
children. Every parent must have a good movie watch in order to lead their child to positive psychological development because the spectacle can affect the child's character (Dunne, 2016). Parents are the first teachers for a child in moral education and they also influence the moral development of children for a long time (Sanderse, 2013). So that the role of teachers in schools is only to continue what has been given by parents to children.
Therefore, in the process of providing moral education, of course, several appropriate strategies are needed.
There are so many television shows that can add information and insight about new things in the world, ranging from news, movies, and cartoons (Arens, Weigold, & Arens, 2012). Of course, among the shows that are liked by children are cartoons because cartoon shows contain simple jokes that can be easily understood by children (Schiau, Plitea, GUSIŢĂ, Pjekny, & Iancu, 2013). Among the many cartoons that aired in Indonesia, Upin and Ipin is one of the most popular cartoons or favored by the general public, especially children. The cartoon produced by Les' Copaque from Malaysia has successfully influenced the world of cinema in the cartoon category. From 15 seasons, 543 episodes were produced. How not, from children to adults like to watch the cartoon Upin and Ipin, apart from using simple jokes, there are good moral values in the formation of children's character.

Starting from "Selamat Pagi, Cikgu." is an example of giving moral education to children.A character can be improved in several ways, including knowledge, practice, and habits.
Knowledge alone is not qualified, because some people who have knowledge may not necessarily be able to act according to their knowledge if they are not trained so it becomes a habit to do the good. The development of a child's moral values consists of how children socialize, how children look, and, how children behave to others (Beilin, 2013). For example, when a child enters kindergarten, they must be taught when and under what circumstances they are allowed to wear uniforms and nightgowns. But of course, at a very young age, we don't have to teach everything to children. Because the experiences or events experienced by each child are certainly different (Janoff-Bulman &
Berger, 2021).
There are three aspects that must be considered in giving moral values, namely the age aspect, the physical aspect, and the psychological aspect. Environmental factors affect a child's morale directly (Bandura,
2014). Because in general children learn from what they witnessed firsthand. They imitate what they see with the intention of a learning experience, even though they do not know exactly what they are imitating is right or wrong (Over & Carpenter, 2012). Therefore parents must master the things that will be taught to children in order to teach them properly. Otherwise, if parents set the wrong example, the children will imitate the wrong example.
Moral learning to children should be fun and easy to imitate. Moral learning, such as from films, is one example of a forum that includes this. The film has several advantages, including being able to present theory and practice and can be repeated many times, and being as-is (Besler & Kurt, 2016). The Upin and Ipin cartoon show is a form of blueprint in which the delivery is made by several film experts and has the main characters of a pair of identical twin brothers named Upin and Ipin who always live modestly which are then shown through symbols in order to deliver quick advice or some attitude certain experiences so that it creates a special attraction for children to watch it.

DISCUSSION Respect
Respectful dialogue :
Upin, Ipin, et al: “Hooray, yeah, goooll!"
The explanation of the conversation was when Upin and Ipin's friends reacted to the
Indonesian goal. Instead of being disappointed that Malaysia had conceded a goal to Indonesia, they even joined in celebrating Indonesia's goal because Susanti is the only Indonesian character in the cartoon Upin and Ipin.
503
BraveryDialogue that shows courage:
Upin: "Tak, kita orang tak takut pun."
Ipin: "He’em, tak takut, tak takut."
The explanation of the conversation is a tough attitude shown by the characters Upin and Ipin in facing one of the exams for each boy. Aloud while being recorded by Daddy Ehsan, they say that they are ready and not afraid of the upcoming challenges.
Tolerance
A dialog showing tolerance:
Kak Ros: "Itu kepercayaan orang Cina la, kita kena hormat. Korang jangan pandai-pandai ambil buah-buahan yang ade kat tempat sembahyang di tepi jalan tu!"
The explanation of the dialogue above is a prohibition order given by Kak Ros to Upin and Ipin so they don't try to insult other people's beliefs.
Honesty
Dialogue that shows honesty:
Upin : “Kawan-kawan, jangan sesekali kita menipu. Kalo kita bercakap benar sekalipun, orang dah tak percaye."
The explanation of the conversation is a reaction to the attitude of interaction between humans, where if you make a mistake related to honesty, it will result in the severance of the relationship between humans.
Holding Lust
Dialogue that shows restraint :
Upin: "Ish kau ni, terlebih pula! Nanti batel puase!"
The explanation of the conversation is that we must be able to resist lust even though the great temptation is in front of us. The advantage is that we can control ourselves and of course, we will get a reward.
Mutual sharing
Dialog showing sharing:
Zul : “Tak pe tak kesah, nah makan makan
……(while offering 'Cokodok' to his friends).”
The explanation of the dialogue above is that if we have something that is excessive, it would be better if we give it some. As exemplified by Zul's character in the episode.
Forgive each other
Dialogue showing mutual forgiveness:
Upin: "Fizi, jangan nangis kitorang dah maafkan pun. Kita kan sahabat selamanya."
Ipin: "Betul, betul, betul."
The explanation of the conversation was that in that episode, it was known that Fizi said something that was considered to have hurt Upin and Ipin's hearts. However, what was interesting was the reaction of Upin and Ipin who even forgave Fizi. Isn't it the best of people who forgive others?
504
Mutual helpDialogue showing mutual forgiveness:
Ipin: "Kita orang nak kutip-kutip duit, Opah.
Nak tolong Ijat."
The explanation from the conversation was the generosity of Upin and Ipin in helping their friend who was experiencing a disaster. An excellent example is shown by Upin and Ipin.
How not, it is rare for children their age who have thought about social problems and it is hoped that the children who watch it can imitate their generous attitude.
Thank You
Dialog showing thanks :
Upin and Ipin: "Terima kasih Cikgu, dah lama Cikgu ajar kita. Cikgu jangan lupa kita orang tau!"
Ijat: "Terima kasih Cikgu, saya takkan lupakan Cikgu!"
The explanation of the conversation was the reaction of every student who had been taught by Cikgu Jasmine because he wanted to stop teaching at Tadika Mesra for the reason of continuing her studies. Again and again, the extraordinary example shown by Upin,
Ipin, and friends. They prepare for their farewell
with the teacher.
