Peridot: The Insane Movie

Peridot: The Insane Movie is a feature film based on the series Peridot Sees It All; a spinoff to Steven Universe. It serves as a direct sequel to the twenty-second season finale.

Act I: The Gang Exposes Themselves
The film starts with a flashback of Amber and Star Emerald sparring in the Emerald Alliance Dojo.

It is now present day. Peridot sings an exposition song with the rest of the gang, giving new viewers a bit of a recap.

After hearing the news about Amber, a potential threat to the gems, Bloodstone and Star Emerald leave Canada and head to Italy where the rest of the gang is.

Act II: Then Suddenly,
The gang goes insane and only Peridot, Pearl, and Star Emerald remain. They later find out that everyone affected by the Insanity Nectar blast goes to the same forest Peridot went to when she drank it. That must mean something...

Act III: What It Means
Star Emerald remembers the forest. It was the exact place she landed when she moved to earth, 6,000 years ago. Amber didn't move to earth until much later and was bummed out that she didn't even get to say bye.

Peridot runs up to the store real fast to buy some probiotic apricots and more Insanity Nectar to concoct "Sanity Nectar." Turns out this dumb probiotic drink actually works and the gang is back to normal! Amber runs away to type up the most sincere apology imaginable for selling a really sketchy drink and then blasting it in mist form. When Amber visits the gang's hotel room in Italy to give them her letter, Star Emerald simply wants to spar with her.

And so the film ends how it began. Star and Amber are reunited and they have one final sparring match...

Right before Pearl rips up her letter and kicks her out.

Reception
For the most part, this film was praised by fans. However, some were disappointed that this was the first "Peridot Sees It All" movie we ever got, and even calling it "too little, too late." Honestly, I'd rather it be that than "too much, too soon."

Critics liked it because it's a movie.
