Disney's "Into The Woods" opens nationwide in theaters today and I highly recommend watching this movie! Prior to watching the movie screening I didn't realize that Into The Woods is based on a Broadway musical by the legendary composer Stephen Sondheim. Rose actually got to watch the musical recently in her choir class in middle school and loved it.


Movie Synopsis:

“Into the Woods” is a modern twist on several of 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 (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), Jack and the Beanstalk (Daniel Huttlestone), and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy)—all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife (James Corden & Emily Blunt), their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch (Meryl Streep) who has put a curse on them. 

Rob Marshall, the acclaimed filmmaker behind the Academy Award-winning musical “Chicago” and Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” directs the film, which is based on the Tony-winning original musical by James Lapine, who also penned the screenplay, and legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, who provides the music and lyrics.

Our thoughts:
Into The Woods is not your typical Disney Fairytale. It starts off very comical and we laughed a lot (My favorite part is the two princes singing "Agony"), but midway through the movie it takes on a darker tone lining up more with the original Grimm tales. I think some of the situations might be a little mature for a younger audience.
