Steps, Lilith Steals a Magic Wand and Joins Forces with Cinderella

Steps is a Netflix animated feature that centers on Lilith and Margot, Cinderella’s so-called evil stepsisters. After Lilith endangers the kingdom, she joins Cinderella on a quest to set things right.

The Netflix animated film Steps turns Cinderella’s story on its head from the perspective of her stepsisters, Lilith and Margo. Lilith wants to escape Cinderella’s shadow, and together with Margo, she steals the Fairy Godmother’s magic wand and takes control of the royal ball. This choice upends the order of the familiar fairy tale and throws the kingdom into crisis.

After Priscilla seizes the throne, Lilith must join forces with Cinderella to find a way to save the kingdom. The two travel through the “Forest of Screams,” fleeing biker trolls and hostile pursuers, embarking on a journey that goes beyond a simple rescue mission to rebuild their relationship. While retaining classic devices such as the glass slipper and the magic of midnight, the premise shifts the narrative’s focus to sisters who had previously been treated as supporting characters.

Ali Wong voices Lilith, Stephanie Hsu voices Margo, Amanda Seyfried voices Cinderella, and Bette Midler voices the Fairy Godmother. Alice Chu and John Ripa co-directed the film, and Netflix announced that it will be released worldwide on November 20, 2026. Netflix Animation Studios and Amy Poehler’s Paper Kite Productions are involved in the production.
