This study analyses the micro-translation strategies applied to the character Death’s utterances in the animated movie Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022). The objectives are to identify the micro-translation strategies used, describe their application, and determine the most dominant strategy employed in the 59 data unit. This study employed qualitative descriptive method and data analysis approach, a total of 59 data units were examined. The analysis revealed 75 occurrences of micro- translation strategies, as several data unit translator employed multiple strategies. From the twelve strategies proposed by Schjoldager (2008), ten were identified. These strategies, ranked by occurrences, are Condensation (28%), Direct Translation (26.7%), Paraphrase (12%), Deletion (10.7%), Permutation (6.7%), Direct Transfer (5.3%), Calque (4%), Explicitation (4%), Adaptation (1.3%), and Addition (1.3%). Theoretically, this research contributes to the field of animated movie translation by offering insight into the strategic choices made when translating character utterances. Empirically, the findings indicate that Condensation is the most dominant strategy, reflecting the translator tendency to simplify or shorten content while preserving meaning in the animated movie Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022).
