Therefore, the purpose of this article is to represent the concept of love in the favorite animations of Ferdowsi University undergraduate students; Thus, a questionnaire was given to select the animators and after reviewing the two animations, Babalang Daraz and Cinderella were identified as the favorite animations of the students. It was then analyzed using John Fisk's content analysis and semiotics approach.

Love is represented in two ways in one look and friendship and knowing each other to achieve the perfection of love, marriage.
