Abstract: Movies are a part of reality. We expect that animated films portray imaginative world to keep the children away from the harsh realities of life. Media projects micro aggressions in the form of hatred due to ethnic and racial discrimination. A young mind is very tender to assimilate the picture of society viewed through the lens of the film maker. Are we projecting the harsh realities at the right age? Is it going to impact the young minds? Can we make use of these films in a better way? Can we develop multicultural values in children through these animated societies? This was the aim of the present study where the researcher wanted to know the perceptions of in-service teachers towards the use of animated films in teaching so as to develop multicultural values. The sample of the study was 22 in service teachers from minority schools of Mumbai. The tool used was a self-made questionnaire to assess the perceptions of the in-service teachers towards the use of animated films in teaching so as to develop multicultural values. The findings of the study indicated the in-service teachers felt animated films could help to develop sensitivity, inculcate tolerance, create compassionate culture and co exist harmoniously. The in-service teachers felt that when using animated films for teaching there could be challenges in the form of time constraint, identification of right film, lack of technology skills, relating to wide variety of subjects.
