Disney’s opening film for the new year will be Rob Marshall’s “Into the Woods,” already a December blockbuster in the U.S. and stars Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, Chris Pine and Emily Blunt. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel - all tied together by an original story.
“Into the Woods” is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel—all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them.
According to Joseph Villanueva "I watched "Into the Woods" with the family the other day. Its not going to be perfect fit for everyone. It has some dark themes and its a musical. It was good enough for me. I recommend it."
Jonathan Perry said; Y'know That last part Meryl was singing about "Being a child while you still can be a child with me" really made me think, I'm turning 21, next year, and those days of me being a child are almost wrapped up, couldnt help but feel like this is how my mom must feel like, Gonna have to check this one out, have a feeling its more than just fairy tales here,.
