Steps Reveals Amanda Seyfried’s Cinderella

Netflix has shared a first look at Cinderella in the upcoming animated film Steps, which will be available on the streaming service in 2026. Cinderella is voiced by Amanda Seyfried in the film, directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa.

The Netflix Animation Studios (NAS) feature will be animated at NAS Vancouver, which unveiled its brand-new campus today, as well as at NAS Sydney.

Think you know Cinderella’s “evil” stepsisters? Think again! When misunderstood Lilith (Ali Wong) is blamed for hijacking the Royal Ball with a stolen magic wand, she accidentally turns her sister Margot (Stephanie Hsu) into a frog and leaves the kingdom in the hands of a prince-obsessed mean girl.

Now Lilith must team up with Cinderella (Amanda Seyfried)…and a surprisingly dreamy troll…to save the kingdom, repair the fractured fairytale, and prove that even so-called villains deserve a shot at happily-ever-after.

“Amanda has this incredible ability to make her characters specific and relatable, and we absolutely needed that when taking on a character that’s as legendary as Cinderella,” said Alyce Tzue.

“We wanted to create a modern heroine complete with flaws and coping mechanisms, and Amanda immediately understood the task. Her portrayal of Cinderella is hilarious and heartbreaking and, most importantly, refreshingly human. You won’t want to miss it.”

“Amanda has been an absolute joy to work with. She brings a level of experience and passion that inspires us to dig even deeper into the character,” added John Ripa (Raya and the Last Dragon). “Her process of honing in on emotions, the control she has over her voice—it all comes together to give the classic character of Cinderella a depth and humor we could’ve never imagined.”

Steps is produced by Amy Poehler, Jane Hartwell, and Kim Lessing. Poehler and Lessing are producing for Paper Kite Productions.
