Netflix’s Latest Animated Film Flips ‘Cinderella’ on Its Head
This November, Netflix is releasing Steps, a twist on the iconic story of Cinderella told from the point of view of the evil stepsisters. Only, they don’t like being called “evil.” Ali Wong and Stephanie Hsu provide the voices for Lilith and Margot, Cinderella’s stepsisters who steal the wand of the Fairy Godmother (voiced by Bette Midler) and break the fated story with horrible consequences. They’ll then have to team up with Cinderella (voiced by Amanda Seyfried) to make sure everyone lives happily ever after.
