Netflix’s newest animated film
You’ve heard the story behind Netflix’s newest animated project before. But, you’ve never seen it quite like this! Steps is a re-telling of Cinderella with some added bite. Ali Wong, Amanda Seyfried, and Stephanie Hsu step into focus as Cinderella and her “wicked stepsisters.” We all know the story, but the truth is often way more complicated! If you want to know all about the new animated film, you’re in luck. THS has some more information for you right down below!
You can ride along with Steps on Netflix November 20.
Steps takes a different look at a familiar fairytale
The classic Cinderella tale gets a much-needed refresh in Steps on Netflix. Today, the streaming giant gave animation fans their best look yet at this project. Directors Alyce Tzue and John Ripa decided that the “wicked stepsisters” deserved to tell their side of the story in the new movie. And, the results are hysterical so far.
Ali Wong, Amanda Seyfried and Stephanie Hsu play our trio of sisters. Lilith, Margot, and Cinderella don’t see eye-to-eye all the time. But, what happens when they need to band together against an even bigger threat. Nikki Glaser as a villain is something that we would never turn down. Check out the new trailer for yourself up above! Always down for a re-imagining.
Who is in Steps?
Daniel Radcliffe, Young Mazino, Peter Dinklage and Bette Midler all star alongside Wong, Seyfried, Hsu and Glaser. Amy Poehler is producing Steps with Jane Hartwell and Kim lessing.
Ava Tramer, James Madejski, Jen Chuck, Dana Schwartz and Felicia Ho worked on the Steps screenplay. These talented writers worked on the story with Riki Lindholme and Kate Micucci. Dynamite composer Kris Bowers handles the original score. (You might know Kris from Bridgerton!)
What’s the movie about?
Think you know Cinderella’s “evil” stepsisters? Think again. Sick of living in Cinderella’s shadow, Lilith (Ali Wong) steals the Fairy Godmother (Bette Midler)’s magic wand and hijacks the Royal Ball with her sister Margot (Stephanie Hsu), breaking the Cinderella story as we know it and dooming the kingdom to the tyrannical rule of Priscilla (Nikki Glaser), a villainous schemer who swoops in and snatches the throne.
Now, Lilith must team up with Cinderella (Amanda Seyfried) to fight biker trolls, outrun evil henchmen, and escape the Screaming Woods on an epic quest to save the kingdom, but most importantly, their relationship.
It’s been a streak of top-tier animation for Netflix with last year’s KPOP Demon Hunters phenomenon. Don’t sleep on other great animated tales like Pinocchio from Guillermo del Toro, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, Nimona, The Mitchells vs. The Machines and more.
2026 still has some varied animated movies left to hit streaming. Netflix’s Ray Gunn and Waves are still due out before the calendar resets for 2027.
