Steven Universe: The Movie is a 2019 American animated musical science fantasy television film and a sequel to the television series Steven Universe (2013–2019), taking place two years after the series finale "Change Your Mind". Directed and co-written by series creator Rebecca Sugar with co-direction by Joe Johnston and Kat Morris, the film stars an ensemble cast that includes Zach Callison, Estelle, Michaela Dietz, and Deedee Magno Hall returning from the series, joined by Sarah Stiles. Its plot follows the Crystal Gems as they attempt to save all organic life on Earth from a deranged Gem with a history with Steven's mother.
The film was announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, and a short teaser trailer was later released on Cartoon Network's YouTube channel. At San Diego Comic-Con 2019, an official trailer was released, along with the announcement of a making-of documentary bundled with the film's DVD. The film premiered on Cartoon Network on September 2, 2019, to 1.57 million viewers. It was the first Cartoon Network original film since Regular Show: The Movie (2015). The film was followed by the epilogue limited series Steven Universe Future (2019–2020).
