"Into the Woods" was a great example of the true meaning behind all fairytale movies Disney® has created. The film gave us a clear understanding of fantasy, and a closer look at how the actual fairytale stories played out, in a more gruesome and realistic way. The Director (Rob Marshall) displays a good work in the film "Into the Woods" by making this a musical. Like he did with his other film "Annie",  back in 1999. Rob Marshall had choreographed before he started directing movies in Hollywood. He has directed Into the Woods, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Nine, Geisha, Chicago, and Annie.

        In the film, "Into the Woods" it opens up with all of the characters singing "I wish... I wish... I wish." This portrayed what is basically going to happen throughout the film. Disney has definitely taken a turn on the G rated fairytale movies. Such as the Cinderella story; the evil step sisters don't get their toes cut off, or part of their heels  taken off so that their feet can fit in the shoe to allow them to go off with the Prince (Chris Pine). In the Disney version they just get their feet squished in the shoe, but of course, that doesn't work.

        I think it was a good idea to make the Baker and his wife the focal point, or the center of attention, in this movie for an obvious reason. They had no desire for anything else but a child. The Baker's wife didn't even want to take the gold pieces from Jack (Daniel Huttlestone). All they wanted was to retrieve the four ingredients from all the characters such as Jack from Jack and the bean stalk, Rupunzal, Red Riding hood, and Cinderella.

       The Witch (Meryl Streep) also makes her way into the bakery by busting down the doors. She goes to the bakery to tell the Baker and his wife why they cannot bear any children. And if they want any children they have to collect hair as yellow as corn, a cow that is white as milk, a slipper as pure as gold, and a cape that is red as blood.

      While Red Riding Hood is on her way to "Granny" in the woods, she comes across "The Big Bad Wolf" (Johnny Depp), who in the original Disney G rated films, is just a wolf who tries to steal the basket of goodies that she has already eaten. But in this film he represent a sexual predator towards Red and Granny. What was a little strange about the film was the fact that the wolf had a brief role in movie, apposed to Johnny Depp's other movies where he is one of the main characters, if not the main .

      The way the characters talk in the story doesn't match the time period they are living in at that point. That's a mistake I found, while watching the film. Except for one line that Rupunzal's prince says is, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel! What a strange name... Strange, but beautiful and fit for a prince." Cinderella (Anna Kendrik) especially doesn't talk from her time period. For example, "He has charm for a prince i guess."

What's neat about this film is the fact that, another type of trial rose, after everyone  got there happily ever after. Then they all ran "into the woods", to see what was going on. When they arrived in the woods they found a giant lady. They used awkward  animation by using an older woman as the giant.

      One of the funniest songs preformed in the film was a duet between Cinderella's prince (Chris Pine) and Rupunzal's prince (Billy Magnussen) called "Agony." The song described how they both were having trouble getting Cinderella to slip out of shoes to become her princess. And how his brother could not get Rupunzal out of the tower. They both clearly have trouble being sincere, since Cinderella's prince said, " I was raised to be charming, not sincere."

        Into the woods states true facts about how the actual fairytale movies were originally written. Which was a wonderful idea since Disney almost completely changed the stories. But they also had good reasons for the change. It was a good idea for Disney to create "Into the Woods" because it gave the creators a chance to combine all the characters into one story. Letting us have a better understanding of the actual stories.
