Steven Universo: O Filme

More. Please. So positive, beautiful, musical. This show helped me raise my kids. Made all of us better people. We all need more of this.

Spinel is the best villain Steven Universe has given us! She has a heartbreaking backstory, an intimidating appearance, personality, and set of powers. And a devious voice. She's also very identifiable, and you understand why she's doing what she's doing. She's also really funny! Her opening song is simple yet very catchy and memorable! And her backstory song cuts you deep. I almost teared up myself. Top all of this off with a dedicated performance from the talented Sarah Stiles and you got yourself a perfect villain!

Apart from Spinel, this movie doesn't really improve upon anything else. It still has the great voice acting, funny comedy, catchy songs, memorable characters, intense action, and beautiful animation we've all come to know and love.

The series is a prerequisite to watching this movie, however. I highly encourage you to do so, it's pretty great. I have some issues with it but... yeah. Go watch it.

An absolutely beautiful soundtrack with songs that keep getting stuck in my head

It's everything you know about Steven Universe and it's plethora of creative characters and ingenious writing, but stretched to an hour and thirty minutes. Songs that go through various genres, animation that is as smooth as butter and very pleasing to the eyes, important and universal messages & to top it all off the immersive and powerful voice acting. The top moments are the emotional songs and the relatable villain. If you're a fan of the series, story-driven cartoons or anime you will highly enjoy this movie!

I really loved it. I would have loved it more if there was more plot development for the show overall, and if a few things had happened differently. But the target audience is literally kids, not 25 year olds, so I'm not going to hold the things that I feel could be better against the show. I bet kids absolutely adored it, and that's who it's for.
