No words. I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I thought it wasn't going to be that great when I found out it was going to be a musical, but it's soooo well done and yet so emotive. I LOVE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!! Also, this movie made me realize that there are still some things that can be done with the show, so I hope we get another season.

An excellent, emotive, really powerful movie. I love it. I'd watch again.

This movie was just flat-out AMAZING! It followed along with the series finale very well and it brought us the most heartwarming story that Cartoon Network has made in a good while!!!

While i say that this really ends the Renaissance for Cartoon Network, Steven Universe: The Movie really was an Amazing story filled with Laughter, Drama, Heart and soul. It really made me feel like the show ended off with a great ending and it really is one of those movies that can be described as a fun time!

Hate to see this show go away. But the movie itself, AWESOME AND AMAZING!!! Cartoon Network needs more material like this instead of Teen Titans GO!

But take it from a guy who studies animation as an art form, Steven Universe's movie really has my sincere recommendation! I hope that we can all BELIEVE IN STEVEN.........

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!

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.

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.

The Steven Universe film was really great. I hate musicals or music films, but when I saw this film for the first time I was in love.

Uhhh.... so this movie, is, uhhh. It's good. not bad in anyway, it's got that classical Steven Universe charm, and its wonderfully animated, but theres just something about it.

First of all, too much singing. I like musicals, i like Steven Universe, and i mostly like the songs in Steven Universe. But sometimes, there's just too much of a good thing. There was a point in the movie, where less than ten seconds after a song ended, A NEW ONE BEGAN! then after that, 20 seconds, and A THIRD SONG!

Spinel is a great villain, but her arch is all over the place, it packed plenty of emotion, and Rebecca Sugars strong writing shines through, but her character simply lacks coherence.

Third. it is very obvious that this movie was written by like 17 people. count the credits, 8 people made the story, then 13 wrote and storyboarded it, which makes the movie less consitent, both in tone and quality.

Overall a fun and satisfying movie, but it is flawed in many ways.

6/10

Before anyone starts flaming me let me just say that I really wanted to like this movie and enjoy it, but unfortunately it let me down.

Honestly I didn't have great expectations for this movie but I was still left down. I obviously didn't expect the next pixar but I hoped for a decent movie that would add to the show.

The movie felt bland and unoriginal. The animation was pretty good especially in comparison to the show's animation. The songs were okay I guess, didn't really like them that much and it didn't help that 90% of the movie was just singing. I knew that this would be like a musical and I look forward to Rebecca's songs but this was just too much.

Everything about the story felt rushed, especially the villain's arc, making it inconsistent. Because of all this the ending didn't feel as satisfying. Overall the story didn't add anything new except the villain and a fusion that made me really uncomfortable.

There's much more that I didn't like about this movie but I don't want to rant. In conclusion if you're an SU fan and have time to spare go ahead and give it a watch you might end up liking it.

I saw a lot of Steven Universe episodes, so I have an idea about the animated tv show. But for some reason, some strange reason, I think that Steven Universe: The Movie is the best thing that it was made in last years. I'm not saying this is the best animated movie ever ( I still believe that Spirited Away is the best animated movie of all time); I'm simply saying that there is something about this movie that I really appreciated and made me feel in love with this movie. This is strange, because I wasn't a big fan of the animated series. I liked it I thought it had good elements. I'm just saying I wasn't one of the greatest fan of the tv show. But, after watching this movie I totally changed my opinion about the tv show. The story is pretty much simple. Steven Universe and his friends after the events of the last episode are programming to take a vacation. But a misterious gem is attacking the Earth. So after a short fight with this gem, something strange happened to him and his friends. So he has to find out what happened and find a solution to save him, his friends and in the same time he has to save the day again. What I find strange about this movie is that the story has a lot of elements and clichè that should not works, like: the sad backstory, the characters who lost memory, etc... We should hate this elements, but somehow this elements works brilliantly. I love the story, the characters, the animation, but I especially love the songs. This songs are fantastic. There's no a single song that I didn't like. I never thought there was a song totally out of place. Every songs are important to explain the moods of the characters. I can't believe that something like Steven Universe entertained me so much. Every movie based from a cartoon usually are not as good as the tv show. This movie did exactly the opposite. I can't believe that finally we got something completely new. This movie makes think that there is a chance it is possible to have something new, something completely different. This movie is enjoyable to watch and it gives exactly what the big fans of the animated tv show are looking for, and even more. Not only this movie challenges my concept of good movies, but it rocked me to my core. I'm not the only one who loved this movie. I recently discovered that this movie is rated 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. I have nothing else to say about this movie, just check it out. This is a beautiful movie to show to people, especially for who never seen the animated tv show. If you are great fan of the tv show or you think it is good like me, go immediately to see this movie. I don't care how many Steven Universe movies they will make. There's no way it can possibly can be better than this. This movie will always have a special place in my heart.

This Is Awesome FREE OF SPOILERS!

This is a beautiful story and it is amazing I am speechless would recommend to the world we all need to hear this!

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

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.

There is not a moment in this movie that doesn't matter! Every second counts! Every single song is memorable and the animation is simply stunning!

It was as good if not better than anticipated! Songs are brilliant yet again, the animation is SOOOO GOOOOOOOD!!! The story is simple yet very intriguing, and they snuck in some clever one-liners too! (Including the one in my review title ;)

If you are a fan of the series it's a must see no matter what. Even if you haven't seen the show I highly recommend this movie! I guarantee you will want to see the show for yourself once you see it! The message of love and understanding is as poignant as ever, and I think it needs to be said now more than ever in this toxic world.

I was so excited for Steven universe but the characters wasn't acting like themselves and that pink little thing made me cringe .

A magical, emotional, and by far entertaining adventure that is bound to please all fans of the t.v. show and plenty of those who have hardly watched it. The voice talents in the film shine greater than ever, taking the characters not only to completely other levels we have never seen before, but also truly encaptivating to believe it is so. The animation is fantastic, and the film is full of all new songs that are bound to get stuck in your head. The film takes the approach of a musical rather than a standard animated film, which while the t.v. show does contain many musical elements, made me wonder if it would be a good fit altogether. Watching it however, proved all my doubts wrong. The music in Steven Universe, both the show and the film, is truly the heart of what makes it so important, and that is never clearer than in this film. As for my problems with it, the film does seem to drag a bit once the true plot starts, and at times can feel a little formulaic, but nothing overall to truly ruin the film. All in all, the film is everything Steven Universe fans can ask for, and is certainly a rewatchable treat for all of those who wanted it to be. My Rating: 9.75/10
