If you missed being at the Steven Universe panel live, you can find the most important news about Steven Universe: The Movie below. The one thing we can’t replicate here is the experience of seeing Estelle (Garnet) or series creator Rebecca Sugar performing songs from the movie live. Fortunately, Cartoon Network captured a little bit of their performances for you to enjoy here!
In addition to Estelle and Rebecca Sugar, Shelby Rabara (Peridot), Michaela Dietz (Amethyst) and Deedee Magno Hall (Pearl) were on hand to talk about the movie, show the trailer for the first time and accept thanks from a teary audience for their dedication to representation.
What we learned:
- Deedee Magno Hall loved the memes from last season’s finale.
- Sardonyx wouldn’t have necessarily known Rose Quartz’s true identity just because Pearl knew, because fusions are individuals and would only know what their component gems wanted to bring to them.
- Steven Universe: The Movie will air on Cartoon Network September 2nd at 6:00 p.m.!
- Estelle wrote a song for the movie.
- The movie is a full-on musical.
- Look for more Gem/human interactions in the future now that the corrupted Gems are healed.
- A behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the movie will be released at the same time as the movie.
- Cartoon Network will show a week-long Steven Universe marathon in the lead-up to the movie.

Rebecca Sugar says our Pearl never belonged to White, but White was involved in the creation of all Pearls so there’s a connection. She won’t elaborate further because spoilers pic.twitter.com/bPydD8A85C— TheGeekiary🏳️🌈 (@TheGeekiary) July 19, 2019
Sugar is singing Love Like You and playing guitar, with two other musicians whose names I didn’t catch (sorry!). You know I love a violin solo! #SDCC #StevenUniverse pic.twitter.com/zc6fAD1trz

So. They’ve shared the #StevenUniverse trailer and I’m already feeling emotions without having any context.
I’m taken back to that person who asked Rebecca “did you just say ‘I want to make people cry about a bunch of rocks?'”
Because that’s what she’s done.#DaniesSDCC #SDCC

Q: If your gem was a human, in any time, who/where would they be?
Magno Hall: Pearl would be like me.
Dietz: Amethyst would be bouncing around the 80s.
Estelle: Hmm… Who would Garnet be…
Audience: Beyonce!
Estelle: That sounds good. Ooh- Grace Jones.#SDCC #StevenUniverse— Kate Kulzick (@TheTeleverse) July 19, 2019
