Bette Midler Will Voice Fairy Godmother in Netflix’s Animated Film ‘Steps’
- Bette Midler joins the cast of Netflix’s ‘Steps’
- The movie features a star-studded cast including Amanda Seyfried
- Why we think the visual vibe will be magical
We just saw the most magical news on our feed. The divine Bette Midler is officially joining the Netflix family! She is going to voice the Fairy Godmother in a new animated movie called Steps. We are already obsessed. It feels like the perfect fit.
Midler isn’t alone in this story. Amanda Seyfried is playing Cinderella. Then we have the legendary Ali Wong and Stephanie Hsu. They will play the evil stepsisters. Talk about a powerhouse cast! We can already imagine the energy they will bring to the booth.
Bette mentioned that her version of the character is “wholesome.” But let’s be real. It’s Bette Midler. There is going to be some sass and a lot of heart. This reminds us of how Ravi Mohan used to be a romantic before things changed. Everyone loves a good story about big personalities!
As art fans, we are looking at the aesthetic of this film. Animation allows for such bold colors. We expect a bright, neon-meets-classic vibe. Think sparkles. Think glowing wands. It is going to be a visual feast for the eyes. We hope it captures the same emotion as when Bhumi Pednekar met the Dalai Lama recently.
There is a lot of talk in the film world lately. Even the filmmakers at Cannes are busy debating big industry moves. But for us, a fun Netflix movie is exactly what we need. We are counting down the days until we see those first sketches.
Our Take
We think this is a genius move by Netflix. Bette Midler has a voice that feels like a warm hug. It’s colorful. It’s loud. It’s art. Mixing her with Ali Wong’s comedy is going to be top-tier entertainment. We love when big stars jump into animation because it lets their personalities shine through the screen.
