![]() ![]() Steven and his warrior friends Amethyst, Pearl, and Garnet are still spending time in their Beach City home, interacting with the quirky human locals. Steven Universe Future has yet to introduce any major new traumas that seem likely to change that dynamic. They’re sticking around to explore what victory, normality, and happiness look like after the kinds of world-threatening drama that’s so common in fantasy stories. The six episodes released so far all suggest Sugar and company are doing something TV virtually never does. Now, the series’ conclusion, the limited series Steven Universe Future, is looking deeply into that happily ever after. Instead, the movie blitzed past all those dire possibilities, resolved the situation, and put everyone back on track for their happily ever after. The stage was set for a long road back from square one, a journey that could have potentially set up entire seasons of conflict, or a story that used the same characters, but took a completely different route the second time around. But then the film introduced a new, horrifically dangerous enemy who erased most of the protagonists’ memories, resetting them to the start of the Steven Universe story. Steven Universe: The Movie presented a bright new future, still worry-free and relatively placid. In September 2019, creator Rebecca Sugar and her team released a follow-up film, set two years later. Suddenly, the series seemed notably short on remaining threats or dangling plot hooks. But in season 5, they faced what seemed to be the last of their major adversaries, and as usual for the show, Steven eventually got through to her with a mixture of sharp reasoning and insightful emotional appeal. The stakes faced by half-alien hybrid boy Steven Universe and his alien warrior friends, the Crystal Gems, kept escalating throughout the series. ![]() With a guest list that includes Pitch Perfect star Adam Devine (as Pizza Steve), The Runaways rocker Joan Jett (as Sunshine Justice), Magnolia crooner Aimee Mann (as Opal) and Super Bass songstress Nicki Minaj (Sugilite) Steven Universe is a colourful big-hearted delight for older kids and adults alike.When Cartoon Network’s animated series Steven Universe wrapped its fifth season in January 2019, fans worried that there was nowhere left for the show to go. Broadway legend Patti LuPone also lends her considerable vocal talents to the show as Yellow Diamond. Many of the characters taking song, influenced by Michael Jackson and Estelle, who also voices Garnet, many of the songs were written by Sugar with the incredibly catchy music composed by Aivi Tran and Steven Velema. It’s not all oddball quirkiness and eye-popping visuals, Steven Universe has also received accolades galore for its earworm filled soundtrack. ![]() Cue giant marauding fast food and mini cats for fingers. Steven, who is half-Gem, has adventures with his friends and helps the Gems protect the world from their own kind. ![]() Steven lives in the fictional town of Beach City with the Crystal Gems-a trio of magical, humanoid aliens named Pearl (Deedee Magno), Garnet (Estelle), and Amethyst (Michaela Dietz). Nominated three times for the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Short-Format Animated Program and taking home awards galore, Steven Universe is the coming-of-age story of a young boy called Steven Universe (voiced by Zach Callison and based on the show creator’s own little brother). It’s no surprise that she was also a writer on Adventure Time, the askew universe that Sugar has created, the first created by a woman on the Cartoon Network in the States, blending her great love of the superhero genre and magical-girl anime while bringing important messages of acceptance into kid’s entertainment. Cutting her animated teeth as a storyboard artist on the bacon pancake-tastic Adventure Time and Adam Sandler’s spooky and kooky Hotel Transylvania, it’s obvious that Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar has absorbed much of her previous projects irreverent and crazy style. ![]()
