Pragmatics is a branch of linguistics, which is the study of language. One of the pragmatics components is speech acts. Understanding speech acts is crucial for effective communication as it helps to interpret meaning beyond the literal words and to navigate the social and pragmatic aspects of language. The dialogue between the characters in a film is similar to the dialogue in a drama or novel as they are a piece of literary works. The message of the film can be gleaned from the conversations between each character. These are the uttered words, which are made up of different speech acts. Thus, the aim of this study is to identify speech acts used in the animated film entitled "Turning Red". The researchers used a descriptive qualitative method. The findings showed that there are five speech acts used in the "Turning Red" animated film, such as declarative, commissive, directive, representative, and expressive.
