Amanda Seyfried to voice Cinderella in animated films 'Steps'

Los Angeles, Apr 8 (UNI) Amanda Seyfried, who stole the spotlight with her performance in "The Housemaid," has been cast as the voice of Cinderella in the upcoming animated feature "Steps".
Helmed by directors Alyce Tzue and John Ripa, the project also features Ali Wong as Lilith and Stephanie Hsu as Margot. The story reimagines the traditional Cinderella tale by focusing on the misunderstood stepsister, according to VARIETY.
In a twist on Cinderella’s evil stepsisters, the film follows Lilith, who is blamed for hijacking the Royal Ball with a stolen magic wand. She accidentally turns her sister, Margot, into a frog and leaves the kingdom in the hands of a prince-obsessed mean girl. Now Lilith must team up with Cinderella, 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.
Tzue said, “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. 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.”
The film is produced by Amy Poehler, Jane Hartwell and Kim Lessing, with Poehler and Lessing producing for Paper Kite Productions.
