Abstract

Folktales are one of the oldest forms of literature for children. They started as oral tradition, and have been handed down to today’s generation through written and then digital tradition. Folktales are not just stories that entertain children. They are stories that contain the strongest edutainment elements. Nations use folktales to hand down important values and teachings to the country’s next generation. Being a genre that carries such an important agenda, folktales must also grow, change, and adapt to society and to changes. Folktales must always be renewed to face the challenges of the ever changing society. Indonesian folktales, a genre that survives the longest period of time, go through little changes. There is generally little change between Indonesian folktales at the beginning of 20 C, and its modern version in the 21 th C. While other folktales from different parts of the world have gone through several changes, why are we stagnant with our folktales? Are we reluctant to change? Why are we reluctant to change? This paper explores the Indonesian folktales in the past, present, and future in comparison to other folktales worldwide, and promotes constructive changes to old folktales that need to be refurbished for new generation. st
