Steven Universe is getting a big relaunch next week with a made-for-TV movie! The show is technically still going, I think, even though the last season finale was absolutely epic. The movie is going to see a 2-year time jump, during which our boy is finally going to grow up a little bit!

It looks great to me! My only real gripe with the show is that one episode where it states that Steven is growing up at a slower rate. It was a dumb idea. I realize they probably wanted to keep him in his familiar kid form for the bulk of the show, but it’s not like the show spanned years. The entire show is about Steven maturing! Let’s see that happen! Let him grow up!

With this movie, it looks like they might be, and I am stoked! The movie drops on Sept. 2.
