A star rating of 3 out of 5.
Chezelle Bingham
Amanda Seyfried lends her voice to a role that feels long overdue in Netflix's genial, animated retelling of Cinderella. Directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa, Steps redesigns the mythology of the glass-slippered princess, asking what would happen if her notoriously 'evil' stepsisters Lilith (Ali Wong) and Margot (Stephanie Hsu) weren't so bad after all. When Margot is transformed into a frog after some serious friction with local mean girl Priscilla (Nikki Glaser), Lilith and Cinderella (Seyfried) must join forces to save both their sibling and their kingdom. Vibrantly animated and competently voiced, Steps is strongest when it leans into the magic of its classic fairytale roots, finding some familiar but welcomed charm in its kinetic first half. Despite this, the film lands in limbo in its overly adventurous second act, getting lost in some generic, yet somehow moderately confusing, cliches. With some sharp humour woven into an occasionally cringeworthy script, Steps still does enough to construct a sweet, sparkling story of sisterhood and self-discovery.
