Production

  • The movie is executive produced by Cartoon Network Studios and Rebecca Sugar. Co-executive producers include Kat Morris, Joe Johnston, Alonso Ramirez Ramos[8] (known for storyboarding 14 episodes of the series Gravity Falls), and Ian Jones-Quartey.
  • Rebecca Sugar also serves as the film's director.[1]
  • Former Crewniverse member Ian Jones-Quartey is also involved in the film's story.[9]
  • Storyboard work on the movie took place between late 2017 and early 2018.[10]
    • Christopher Pianka, otherwise known for The Owl House, is credited[10] as a storyboard artist on the movie.
  • It is to be animated by Sunmin Image Pictures Co.[11]
  • On June 13, 2019, Chance the Rapper and Gallant were announced to be new musical additions to the cast.[12]
  • The official trailer for the movie was released on July 19th, 2019 during the Steven Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con.

Artbook

An artbook, The Art of Steven Universe: The Movie, published by Dark Horse, will be made by Ryan Sands and Rebecca Sugar and released alongside the premiere of the movie. It can be pre-ordered through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, DarkHorse.com, and at your local comic shop. This unique, 96-page zine-like softcover retails for $19.99.[13]

Trivia

  • This movie takes place May 21-22, as seen on Sadie Killer and the Suspects' poster.
    • Given Steven's birthday is August 15, Steven is 16 years, 9 months and 6 days old in the movie.
  • At the end of the first airing of "Change Your Mind", the teaser trailer played revealing a part of the planned release date.
  • The brief glimpses of the Gems in the teaser shows them in their pre-regeneration outfits. This was most obvious with Garnet's visor being their original shape instead of the top of a star. This was likely done to avoid spoiling the Diamond Days arc's mass regeneration, though their appearances were not updated for the trailer shown after "Change Your Mind" first aired on Television.
  • A video by Cartoon Network (featuring sketches by Rebecca Sugar and interviews with Sugar and Zach Callison) confirmed that the movie would take place approximately two years after Season 5. Steven receives a new design first shown in the official poster. Steven, in his 16-year-old design, now wears a blue star shirt with a pink jacket, is taller, and has a visible neck.[14]
  • Alongside some Peridots, Topazes, and other Gems, the two Zircons from "The Trial" — Zircon (Defense) and Zircon (Prosecuting) — are seen in the crowd that receives Steven's message.

Continuity

Cultural References

  • Spinel's mannerism and behaviour is akin to rubber hose animation, an early style of animation originating in the United States during the 1920s. Its name is derived from the rubber-like features prominent in cartoon characters from the era, which included arms, and sometimes legs, that are able to stretch and flow without any apparent articulation (no hinged wrists or joints).
  • The posters advertising the Sadie Killer and the Suspects gig outside the warehouse features a design similar to that of the flag commonly associated with libertarian socialism, a political philosophy rooted in anti-authortarianism and criticism of capitalism and wage labour relationships within the workplace, themes that are often explored in songs perfomed by Sadie.
