Abstrak Ekspresi wajah merupakan elemen yang berperan besar dalam menghidupkan karakter animasi. Dengan ekspresi wajah, animasi mampu menyampaikan perasaan dan pemikiran dari karakternya sehingga menghadirkan watak yang lebih kuat. Adanya dualitas pada tokoh manusia dan tokoh anjing di film animasi “Isle of Dogs” (2018) menarik untuk dikaji karena ekspresi wajah pada anjing dan perwatakannya yang lebih humanis membuatnya terkesan lebih hidup dibandingkan dengan tokoh manusia. Analisis dilakukan untuk mengetahui penggunaan ekspresi wajah terhadap pembentukan watak tokoh anjing dan manusia dalam film animasi “Isle of Dogs” (2018). Tokoh yang dikaji yaitu tokoh Chief dan tokoh Mayor Kobayashi. Data diambil melalui observasi lalu dianalisis dengan metode analisis visual menggunakan teori ekspresi wajah dan teori Believability. Ditemukan bahwa meskipun memiliki fitur wajah yang menonjol, penggunaan ekspresi wajah yang minim oleh tokoh Mayor Kobayashi menyebabkan keterbatasan untuk memahami emosi dan pola pikirnya. Watak yang dapat dibentuk menjadi terbatis, mengakibatkan kesan karakter yang kaku dan dangkal. Tokoh Chief lebih ekspresif dengan emosi yang beragam, sehingga karakterisasinya pun lebih humanis dan terbentuk perkembangan watak yang dinamis. Penggunaan ekspresi wajah yang menonjol juga memudahkan penonton untuk menerima pesan emosi dari tokoh, menjadikan tokoh believable.

With facial expressions, the animation can convey the feelings and thoughts of the characters to present a stronger characteristic. The existence of duality in human and dog characters in the animated film "Isle of Dogs" (2018) is interesting to study since the facial expressions of dogs and their more humane demeanor make them seem livelier than human characters. The analysis was carried out to discover the use of facial expressions in shaping dog and human characters in the animated film "Isle of Dogs" (2018). The figures studied are the Chief and Major Kobayashi figures. The data was taken through observation and then analyzed by visual analysis using the facial expressions and Believability theory. It was discovered that even though he has prominent facial features, the use of minimal facial expressions by the character Major Kobayashi causes limitations in understanding his emotions and thought patterns. The available formed characters are limited, making an impression of a rigid and shallow character. Chief's character is more expressive and has various emotions so his characterization is more humane and creates a dynamic character development. The use of prominent facial expressions also makes it easier for the audience to receive emotional messages from the characters, making the characters believable.
