What is steven universe pilot?

The Steven Universe pilot was created by Rebecca Sugar, who would eventually become the creator of the show. The pilot aired on May 21, 2013, as part of Cartoon Network's "Cartoonstitute" program, a series of short animated pilots intended to be developed into full series.

The pilot follows the character of Steven, a young boy who is half-human and half-Gem, as he tries to prove himself as a superhero alongside a trio of magical Gem warriors. The pilot features many of the same themes and characters that would become central to the series, including Steven's desire to prove himself as a hero and his complicated relationship with the Gems.

While the pilot was not developed into a full series, it was well-received by audiences and critics alike. Its positive reception helped to secure the future of Steven Universe as a full series, which premiered on Cartoon Network in November 2013. Additionally, elements from the pilot, such as the characters and themes, were incorporated into the show's first season.
