Amy Poehler will make Animated Muiscal for Netflix about Cinderella's stepsisters.

The Music Duo Garfunkle & Oates will make the songs and frist time movie Director Alyce Tzue will helm the picture .

Tzue said ”Our stepsisters are a pair of young Asian immigrants to a fairytale world, and their journey navigating the pressures of their kingdom to ultimately arrive at their true dream is a story that resonates deep inside my heart. Especially in light of the terrible acts of erasure against the Asian community, I am grateful to be working with this incredible team on a project where I feel so seen. We can’t wait to bring STEPS to the world!"

Poehler also said ”We are so excited to be working with Netflix and the great Riki, Kate and Alyce on this joyful and much-needed story.”

Here is the plot synopsis a spin on the classic Cinderella story," and follows two stepsisters who "are overlooked for marriage by the Prince and embark on an epic journey, realizing that their own perfect fairytales might be different from what they originally thought."


Poehler is producing and the screenplay will be written by Riki Lindhome (co-creator of Another Period), with a story and songs from Lindhome and Kate Micucci.

Garfunkel and Oates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like them a lot. Obviously this will be a comedy; I'm curious now!

[Disney's Divinity]

I wonder if this film triggered the one Disney's making about the stepsister (or vice versa)? Both have a famous SNL actress involved, too (Poehler v. Wiig).

Yeah that's weird they both are so similar in concept and both have SNL alumni.

I doubt this will beat the genius The Ugly Stepister which makes the concept feel already done, just that it was done in a serious body horror way rather than animated musical.

EDIT: After reading the synopsis, it's not anything like The Ugly Stepsister lol. That's why I gotta research before forming opinions! It actually sounds fun.
