From the researchers’ personal experience, writing necessitates more abilities, and some struggle to string words together to convey the meaning of what they want to say. Lack of interest due to the monotony of learning; some people, in particular,are more interested in learning through imagery rather than listening. If we educatestudents through animated films, they will be more engaged. Descriptive text isdifficult enough to learn by the students (Putri, 2019). They will try to describe manythings they find in the movie they have just watched. The researcher's aim is thatstudents can write appropriate descriptive text compositions faster than before.They can describe things more freely than usual and hope to contribute to a greaterinterest in writing.

According to (Rahmadani & Nurhaeni, 2019), Descriptive text is a type oftext seen from two sides, namely from its organizational structure and function. Anything, including items, locations, creatures, and more, can seem like this thing. Animated short films are also based on the violence ofcontextual comics. Coupled with the ability of young children to distinguish fantasyfrom good and bad reality, it can also eliminate the possibility that children willexert the attraction shown in animated short films on other people in real life.
