Into the Woods	comment	Into the Woods is a 2014 film adaptation of the critically acclaimed James Lapine/Stephen Sondheim musical of the same name. Under the direction of Rob Marshall (who had previously worked on Chicago and the 1999 Made-for-TV adaptation of Annie respectively), the film features an All-Star Cast led by Meryl Streep (the Witch), James Corden (the Baker), Emily Blunt (the Baker's Wife), Anna Kendrick (Cinderella), and Chris Pine (Cinderella's Prince), And Starring Johnny Depp (the Wolf). It also features newcomer Lilla Crawford (who had starred in the recent Broadway revival of Annie) as Little Red, and Daniel Huttlestone (of Les Miserables fame) as Jack. The film was released on Christmas Day, 2014, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios.Set in a far off kingdom near the woods, the story follows a childless baker and his wife, who were cursed with infertility by a vengeful witch. One day, however, the witch offers to reverse the curse if the pair brings her four items: the cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, and the slipper as pure as gold. Determined to end the curse, the couple, along with several famous fairy tale characters, ventures into the woods to achieve their wish, completely unaware of the consequences that will befall them due to their actions.The film retools some of the story's content to make the film slightly shorter than the stage play, with especially the second act containing some departures from the source material. It should also be noted that all of the changes were personally approved by Sondheim himself, and original stage writer Lapine himself adapted the musical to the screen as the film's screenwriter.Not to be confused with the 2016 post-apocalyptic film Into the Forest.

Into the Woods / int_121b3725	type	Age Lift
Into the Woods / int_121b3725	comment	Age Lift: Due to casting Meryl Streep, the Witch is older than she was in most versions of the stage show. Notably in the stage show, the character is usually played by an actress in make-up to make her appear older - and when she transforms into her beautiful self the actress just removes the make-up. Streep meanwhile commented that it took more make-up for her to appear younger. A partial example. Although Jack and Red Riding Hood are children in the story, they're usually played by teenagers or young adults acting like children. Here they're played by actual children.

Into the Woods / int_143939c1	comment	Trailers Always Spoil: One of the trailers seems to give away the fact that Cinderella's Prince isn't as loving and sincere as he's letting on (and that he cheated on her). Look closely at the scene where the Baker's Wife is getting kissed by someone: it's the Prince. For anyone who's actually seen the play, this wouldn't be too much of a surprise.

Into the Woods / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The first trailer took an approach similar to Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street by hiding the fact it's a musical. Later trailers showed the actors' singing. Interestingly, the trailers emphasize the darker aspects over the comedy, the opposite of how Disney handled the trailers for Frozen and Tangled.

Because the prince's herald catches blood dripping, the scam fails.

Into the Woods / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: Cinderella's Prince. At least in the musical he had nine plus months to get bored with married life; here he turns around and cheats on Cinderella with the Baker's Wife practically the day after their wedding! Related to the above, the Baker's Wife comes off looking a fair amount worse because of her affair with Cinderella's Prince, as the movie cut most of the marital issues that she and the Baker had throughout the story, especially during the second act. As a consequence, her infidelity comes more out of nowhere. The Witch also comes off worse in the adaptation, as her warnings to Rapunzel (who apparently survives) about the dangers of the world come to naught, taking away the (thin) justification for having kept her locked up but "safe" all those years. She also seems more villainous for wanting to turn over a younger Jack over to the Giantess, compared to the older versions of Jack seen onstage, and also because she doesn't have the trauma of having watched Rapunzel get squashed by the giantess to drive her over the edge into despair..

Into the Woods / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: This applies to the entire film's wardrobe: the filmmakers didn't want the fairy tale world presented in the film to reflect an actual time period, so inspiration ranged from the Victorian Era (the Baker and his wife) to 1930s book illustrations (Red's appearance) to the late eighteenth century fashions of Cinderella, her stepmother and stepsisters. The Wolf's 40's era zoot suit stands out in particular, and the blind stepsisters wear sunglasses, which were first produced around the same time period.

Into the Woods / int_2f36d97	comment	Older Than They Look: Rapunzel should be the Baker's sister, meaning she'd have to be around his age. She doesn't look it at all. Possibly justified in-universe because she has mostly avoided sun exposure for her whole life. And the issue also exists in the source material, when the Witch says she took Rapunzel when the Baker was "no more than a babe" and Rapunzel states she was locked in the tower for 14 years, which should make the Baker a teenager. Of course, there's no reason to think that the witch locked Rapunzel in the tower immediately after taking her from her parents.

Into the Woods / int_33d5b7f2	comment	The Narrator is a separate character in the stage show, which is much more plausible and easy to understand when an audience can see everything right in front of them and they can essentially be everywhere at once. Since the film requires cutting back and forth between people all over the area (and also just for convenience's sake), the Narrator is Adapted Out and his role is combined with the Baker. Thus, the context of the narration is changed from the Narrator telling the story as it happens to the Baker telling the story to his child after the events all take place.

Into the Woods / int_33fa230b	comment	Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: Like the musical, the halfway point of the film serves as a sort of fake out "happy ending"; Cinderella and her Prince get married (as do Rapunzel and her Prince), Jack and his Mother become wealthy, the Witch regains her youth and beauty, and the Baker and his Wife finally get the child they've always wanted. Right in the middle of the royal wedding, everyone (including the narrating Baker) is interrupted by the quaking stomps of the Giantess, and it is then that the darker second half begins.

The Witch seems to switch between British and American at certain points in the film. Lucy Punch sounds virtually American when singing, but retains her natural British accent when speaking. Considering all the other actors portraying the characters in the Cinderella story are American, this was probably an attempt to avoid standing out.

Into the Woods / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: Rapunzel's Prince, contrasting his brother's Adaptational Villainy. It's clear that he truly loves Rapunzel, and he stays faithful to her for the entire film (unlike his stage show counterpart, who tosses her aside during their marriage to pursue Snow White). He's even willing to go out and search for Rapunzel while blind. A small case for the steward. In the stage show he kills Jack's mother by clubbing her over the head. In this, he only pushes her to the ground and she hits her head on a log. He's shown to instantly regret it as well. This also adds far more Gray-and-Gray Morality to Jack and the Baker's discussion over whether or not it would be right for Jack to kill him; in the show, it's based on If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!, but here it's because the Steward genuinely didn't mean to do anything wrong. One moment for the Witch. In most productions when Rapunzel chooses to stay with her prince, the Witch tries to attack both of them. In the film, she only goes for the prince and even pulls Rapunzel back.

The Witch, when aged and ugly, also fares better than in most stage productions. She's generally a complete hag, but onscreen just has neglected skin and teeth plus scary hands. Inverted somewhat with the Witch's uncursed form. Traditionally a youngish beautiful woman plays the Witch and that is shown off after her curse is broken. However, the Witch in the movie still looks pretty old even after the curse is broken, but as she is played by Meryl Streep, she's hardly ugly by any means.

Into the Woods / int_5663a595	comment	Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: Rapunzel is actually the Baker's long lost sister, having been taken by the witch when he was a toddler. The Baker never finds this out in the stage show, and it's the same case here. The Plot Hole comes from the fact that the Narrator is a separate character in the stage show. For convenience purposes the Baker also serves as the Narrator in the film. And the film ends with the Baker narrating the story to his newborn son. But since he never finds out Rapunzel is his sister, it begs the question of how he knows this in narration.note However, there is a small possibility that, since Rapunzel survives in the film, she and the Baker eventually do reconcile some time after the events of the story. The narration includes a lot of things which the Baker didn't witness firsthand, so it could be assumed that the narration we hear is him telling the story much later after getting the rest of the information.

Thus, the context of the narration is changed from the Narrator telling the story as it happens to the Baker telling the story to his child after the events all take place. The Mysterious Man, a major character from Act I of the musical, simply doesn't translate to film; the entire point of his arc is that he's revealed to be the Baker's father at the end of the act, which is impossible to do on film since we get a flashback to him stealing the beans before the movie begins (so, unlike the stage show, we've already seen what he looks like). He's thus Demoted to Extra, only appearing when the Baker runs away from the group and abandons his son, but to keep the father-son drama intact, the script adds more moments where the Baker curses his father for his actions and worries that he's not going to be a good father himself.

Into the Woods / int_64f3ea6e	comment	Disneyfication: Zigzagged. It's less risquÃ© than the original production, but nonetheless contains many dark themes and plays around with them. For instance, the affair with the Prince and the Baker's Wife is kept intact, albeit with ambiguity of how far it went. In addition, the sexual subtext between The Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood are kept in and made creepier with the fact that an actual little girl played her, rather than an adult in a costume. However, Jack's mother's death is not as grisly as the original production, and Rapunzel does not die in this version.

Although the fact that Cinderella left her Prince would suggest that they no longer can enjoy the perks of being part of the royal family and, with Cinderella gone, must care for themselves (while the stepsisters are blind and with mutilated feet, no less).

He's thus Demoted to Extra, only appearing when the Baker runs away from the group and abandons his son, but to keep the father-son drama intact, the script adds more moments where the Baker curses his father for his actions and worries that he's not going to be a good father himself.

Into the Woods / int_d97f6f0c	comment	Musicalis Interruptus: Downplayed. No One Is Alone is sung in its entirety, but the very last line is interrupted by the Giantess's footsteps. But thankfully, the soundtrack averts this.

Into the Woods / int_e4965307	type	Composite Character
Into the Woods / int_e4965307	comment	Composite Character: The Baker and the Narrator, more or less. Any Narrator lines that have been left intact are now said by the Baker via voiceover, and new dialogue is included for the sake of exposition. This concept holds significance, as the film ends with the Baker telling his son the story of his adventure, which happens to be the exact same story that he tells the audience throughout the film.

Then, during the wedding, when Cinderella and her Prince are riding in the carriage, the Baker's Wife yells, "Thanks for the slipper!" and the Baker points to the baby. Cinderella gives the most hilarious look of befuddlement.

Into the Woods / int_fe1b2e75	comment	Bigger on the Inside: During "I Know Things Now", a flashback shows Little Red plunging into the Wolf's belly, which appears to be the size of a large pit. Since the song is portrayed as a story that she tells the Baker, this could be interpreted as being part of her imagination. On the other hand she and her grandmother were both alive and intact inside its stomach, and the wolf is only human size, so this has to be at least somewhat the case.
