Cue giant marauding fast food and mini cats for fingers.
Steven, who is half-Gem, has adventures with his friends and helps the Gems protect the world from their own kind. Steven lives in the fictional town of Beach City with the Crystal Gems-a trio of magical, humanoid aliens named Pearl (Deedee Magno), Garnet (Estelle), and Amethyst (Michaela Dietz). Nominated three times for the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Short-Format Animated Program and taking home awards galore, Steven Universe is the coming-of-age story of a young boy called Steven Universe (voiced by Zach Callison and based on the show creator’s own little brother). It’s no surprise that she was also a writer on Adventure Time, the askew universe that Sugar has created, the first created by a woman on the Cartoon Network in the States, blending her great love of the superhero genre and magical-girl anime while bringing important messages of acceptance into kid’s entertainment. Cutting her animated teeth as a storyboard artist on the bacon pancake-tastic Adventure Time and Adam Sandler’s spooky and kooky Hotel Transylvania, it’s obvious that Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar has absorbed much of her previous projects irreverent and crazy style.
