Steven Universe might have ended in January but it's movie continuation only just arrived.
Cartoon Network recently took to social media to point out an awesome Easter Egg which features in
Steven Universe The Movie and makes reference to an iconic moment from Katsuhiro Otomo's
Akira.
There's a moment in the well-known anime film in which the film's main character slides their motorcycle perpendicular to the direction that the viewer is facing. In the
Steven Universe film, the character by the name of Connie emerges from a portal atop a lion performs the same stunt.
As was pointed out by the replies to Cartoon Network's tweet,
Steven Universe The Movie isn't the first animated film/show to feature an almost one-for-one recreation of the iconic
Akira moment.
