The theory speech acts proposed by Austin (1962) was used to identify one of the types of exercitive illocutionary acts; command. While, the theory about the ethnography of communication proposed by Hymes (1972) was used to analyze the intended meaning and the perlocutionary acts of the utterances. The results of this study shows that there are 10 utterances categorised as a command which uttered by the characters in the Abominable movie. Meanwhile, the intended meaning and the effect of the utterances can be seen through eight elements of the ethnography of communication, such as setting and scene, participants, ends, act sequence, key, instrumentalities, norms, and genre. These elements of the situation support grasping the real meanings of the characters’ desire to have the hearer take kinds of action.
