Our Thoughts...
Hubby and I were so excited to see Into the Woods. I am a huge fan of musicals, and though I didn't know much about Into the Woods before we watched it, I had high expectations, because of the director and cast. This movie included so many of our favorite actors- Meryl Streep was incredible! She is one of my all time favorite actresses, and to see her as the witch in Into the Woods was fantastic! She truly became the witch in this role, and was awesome to watch!
Into the Woods weaves together the stories of our favorite fairytales and leaves viewers wanting to be careful what they wish for. In this masterful mash-up of stories, we find Cinderella, Jack (and the Beanstalk), Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood (and the wolf), and the baker and his wife, each wishing for something that seems impossible. They are willing to do whatever it takes to see that their wishes come true- no matter what the cost!
We so enjoyed Johnny Depp as the wolf, as he is one of our favorite character actors. Anna Kendrick was a shining star as Cinderella, and Christine Baranski (another favorite actress of mine) as her stepmother. It was fun to watch Chris Pine Prince Charming, as we'd never before seen him in a role like this, and had no idea what a great voice he had! I also enjoyed watching Emily Blunt play a lighthearted role..
We loved the story of Into the Woods, and loved the music. Hubby and I found ourselves laughing over the prices as they sang, 'Agony,' and never wanted Meryl Streep to stop singing! Anna Kendrick wowed us with her beautiful voice, as well. Into the Woods is a must-see, and a wonderful addition to any Disney lovers collection!
