Even though it is full of colorful monsters that are far from scary, in fact the director tries to insert many moral messages. About friendship, dreams and the realities of life. So it is very important to know the signs (meanings) of the Monster University movie so that people can know educational movies, through this movie it can provide inspiration for teachers about the importance of having characters who want to serve and for students, can have strong enthusiasm and determination to learn. This research examines the analysis of signs, namely denotation, connotation and myth in the Monster University movie, especially in the scenes between teachers and students using Barthes's semiotic studies and analyzing data based on the theory of body language functions from Paul Ekman and Mark L. Knap. This research aims to find signs in the movie. This study used qualitative descriptive methods to analyze the data obtained in this research. The primary data source in this research was taken from the Monster University movie. This study used investigator triangulation to validate the results of data analysis.

Based on the result data analysis showed that the Monster University movie has a positive message to improve the relationship between teachers and students. Among the teacher and student scenes in this movie, 10 data were found which showed more forms of communication that lead to oppression and 6 data were forms of communication when the teacher appreciated his students. The results of these 10 data show that teachers still classify children into smart iii and stupid, good and bad. There is a stereotype that views students as having to be good at all subjects, but from this students are also considered weak and helpless in facing their teachers. The next 6 data results are forms of communication when teachers appreciate their students. Teachers who have the habit of always giving appreciation to their students tend to be liked more by their students. Teachers cannot be perfect, but being better at all times is something that can be strived for, especially for the sake of learning. Keywords: Semiotic, Roland Barthes, Movie, Teacher, Student.
