Netflix’s animated feature, “Steps” has found its prince.
Daniel Radcliffe will voice the royal role in Netflix’s upcoming animated feature, “Steps.“ Also joining the cast are Young Mazino as Gef, “The Heartthrob,” and Peter Dinklage as Roderick, “The Muscle.”
Directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa, “Steps” puts a twist on the story of Cinderella’s evil stepsisters. The animated film follows Lilith (Ali Wong), who 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. Bette Midler rounds out the starry ensemble, voicing the the fairy godmother.
“Our dream was for our fairytale Prince to be unlike any Prince you’ve seen before, and Daniel made that dream come true,” Ripa said about Radcliffe’s casting. “He brought his incredibly unique and nuanced brand of quirky, big-hearted humor to our Prince, and created a character that’s irresistible and delightful. We were blown away by Daniel’s range and razor-sharp comedy chops, and it was simply a pleasure to work with him.”
