This research aims to examine the presupposition of the utterances by Yule’s pragmatic theory in Hotel Transylvania movie. This research is to find out the language function represented by the main characters in Hotel Transylvania by using Searle’s illocutionary acts theory. Thus, it used a descriptive qualitative method to examine character’s conversations by analyzing the context of the events in the story as well as how the characters deal with each event around. As a result, the researcher found all six types of presuppositions, consisting of existential presupposition, factive presupposition, lexical presupposition, structural presupposition, non-factive presupposition, and counter-factual presupposition. As well as five types of language functions of characters’ utterances such as assertives, directives, commisives, expressives, and declaratives. The researcher revealed the most frequently presupposition used in this research is lexical presupposition with assertives as the prominent language function used. The researcher concluded that conversations depicted through characters could be successful if each character understands the context of the utterances delivered and has a shared knowledge between them.
