Fun fact: Lucy Punch also played the stepsister in 2000's Cinderella, Ella Enchanted, and the Cinderella episode of Fairy Tales. Even better, it's actually not typecasting. When she was a little girl, when everyone else wanted a princess party, she asked for an ugly stepsister party. This is literally a dream come true for her.

Honestly Chris Pine’s “AGONY!” “That girl must be mad.” had my friend and me laughing to tears! The best scenes!
Amy Poehler cracked the best joke about this movie where she says that in ‘Into the Woods’, Meryl Streep sends the townspeople on a quest to find her the ingredients she needs for another Golden Globe.

@@justinnaniong7872that would’ve been awesome, if not better imo. The original film is about humor so
During the song "on the steps of the palace" Chris Pine was told to stand still, instead of using a special effect to have him freeze. So, basically, his direction on that scene was "stand there and look pretty"
Fun fact: some of the parts like the thorns to the eyes, the cutting off parts of the foot, and the pecking are from the original fairy tales. And I was part of that thirst crowd when they ripped their shirts in "Agony" 😅😅

Yep! The Cinderella portion is straight form the Grimm Fairy Tale
I love how they made the fairytales closer to the brothers Grimm. Such as when the step sisters eyes were pecked out by birds. As it gave the movie a older feel. Only thing I wish Rapunzel and her prince stayed for the whole movie as they were really interesting characters.

This movie made me love Anna Kendrick when it first came out , what an underrated and unappreciated actress in the industry , she has it all , wit , charisma , range , voice , humor ...
The stage play is so good i loved it, its one of my favourite plays, but in my opinion they did a very good job on the adaptation, i mean you can still see that play style, or theater style, with the lights and sounds, they kept it really clean. they didnt try to make it more ¨Hollywood¨ musical movie adaptation like they did with some other musical movies, they really kept the style and vibe of a real life play, and that is what it makes it so cool, that you feel like you are in the firsts seats of a real play.
This movie was my introduction to this musical, and I've been in love with it ever since. I don't have the same hate for it, probably because I saw it before the stage play. The music is beautifully sung, by an amazing cast. I'm not a huge fan of James Cordon, but this movie was what made me realize he could actually sing. As a fellow theatre kid, 100% on board with MORE musicals!!!
Negatives: They took out the Baker song, Agony reprise (and twist), and the mysterious man. Also, Your Fault was slowed down and made me sad. It’s my favorite song. Positives: The cinematography is amazing, they did a great job with Little Reds reprise there. They vocals were all AMAZING and they didn’t shy away from the Grimm parts of the stories. Overall, it was a very good movie. It keeps some things hidden so you get the surprises in the show if/when you see it live, which is nice. Saw it in the theaters, and had to keep myself from singing along.

Negatives: -They took out no more (is that what you mean by baker song?) -The took out ever after and act 2 prologue (vital to the story) -They shoved Children Will Listen to the background even though its the highlight of the finale -They cast a child as Jack -They made Jack's mother a bitch -They lowered the pitch on half the songs and the overall harmonies don't work nearly as well -They took out the entirety of the comedic elements of the show (Milky White dies, for example, is a comedic scene originally) -They also took out the darkest parts of the show (Rapunzel dies, for example) -The color palate is too dreary by far Positives: - Little Red is by far the best singer in this, at least by the standard of pulling off her songs, she's the best -Meryl Streep is a good witch, despite some script decisions ruining it a bit, stay with me was well done - I liked the witch sinking into the ground in Last Midnight (which makes way less sense without the first to set the tone) (think they should have made her singing louder for that scene though)

First time I saw this I nearly lost my mind at Agony. Was NOT expecting that from Chris Pine. He overplays it like Shatner and somehow makes it absolutely work.

I love Into The Woods, and I think this movie's worst sin is not killing Rapunzel, because then the journey of the Witch doesn't make sense. Also, I miss "maybe they're really magic" and "no more" because they bring depth to the baker and his wife. ALSO, just me flexing here, but I always understood that Moments in the Woods is a wordplay with "Woulds". So she had a moment in the "woulds" (the "and", as she says) and is ready to go back to her reality (the "or").
In Cinderella's story, the original Grimm version, the step-sisters do mutilate their feet for the slippers. Also, they went blind from the birds that attacked them.
I really like that the way they portray the fairy tales is very close to the Originals from the brothers Grimm. The Originals were a lot darker than all the Disney versions.

Disney's version is heavily inspired by Perrault's version of Cinderella from 1697, which indeed is lighter in tone than Grimm's version that was written in 1812. There are earlier oral versions of the story globally, though Perrault's and Grimm's can both be considered as originals in the literature genre.
21:27 Because the birds that attacked them poked their eyes out.
Fun fact: Donna Murphy (the voice of Mother Gothel) actually played the same character Meryl played in a 2012 revival of _Into the Woods_ in Central Park.
I love that they got Frances de la Tour to play the female giant for this movie, which feels kismet because she plays Madame Olympe Maxime (a half-giant) in the Harry Potter franchise.

I thought the same
Billy Magnussen (Rapunzel's Prince) got his start in the soap As The World Turns. He has a Tony nomination for "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike". They went blind because the crows pecked out their eyes. “I was raised to be charming, not sincere”
I'm a total Sondheim fan. I very much love that he used the Grimm version of these fairytales. This main thing I just was in here was the Agony reprise. That in the play always makes me laugh
The witch knew the baker's back story, because she was there when it began.
I LOVE the stage play and the movie version ( I said it) I needed this after my mom was in the hospital ( she is fine by the way) .
When Cinderella gets her 'glow up' she didn't get it from some mad woman in the tree, it's her dead mother's spirit who helped her, like from the original Grimm Tales.....All of these stories are actually based from the Original Grimm Tales, except of course the second part of the movie when female giant comes. Read the Grimm Tales it's supposedly where all original fairytale come from and its way darker than Disney led us to believe.....
Listen, James Corden aside, this movie is the reason I got into the musical in the first place, so it did its job as a gateway!
I'd love to see you watch the OG stage production
The sisters went blind because Cinderella’s birds pecked their eyes out.
Funny thing, the revival in Central Park had the original Baker as the old man and narrator, anndd the voice actress for mother gothel in tangled played the Witch!
If you're a fan of the stage musical, I'd absolutely recommend the Regent's Park Open Air staging (which, as far as I know, is the only other Into the Woods proshot available). The open air setting adds so many more layers of immersion to it, and all the actors do a fantastic job playing their characters, one of the standout performances being Hannah Waddingham as The Witch, her performance rivalling that of Bernadette and Meryl in my opinion. Additionally, they added an additional framing device by reworking the character of the narrator. I won't spoil what exactly they did with it, but it ties in to many of the shows themes.
wondering, would you be interested in reacting to the stage production with Bernadette Peters? I only recently (as in yesterday) discovered the full production is up on youtube, and I had never actually seen it before. I'd be curious to know what your opinion would be comparing the two! After watching them both now, I do think I prefer the stage production for a number of reasons, including giving the witch even more reason to be sympathetic despite her actions. Standout performances aside, I think I prefer the stage show now to the movie!

I love that one. I had a DVD copy of it! It’s so charming and fun.
The new version that is currently playing is also great. I like the stage versions better than the movie but this was an ok adaptation. Also the kid that plays jack I swear has been in every movie musical lol
The tree providing Cinderella her dress is from the older fairy tales. The movie Aschenputtel is a Cinderella movie I watched religiously as a child and had the birds picking the seeds, magic willow tree, and three balls instead of one oh and the cutting of the feet the stepsisters did. The original fairytales are dark man, good writing but dark.
6:12 That's actually closer to the original story. The tree was the spirit of her mom I think?
Matilda the musical also has a 10 minute long first number too 😅 Would you consider reacting to the proshot versions of Billy Elliot, Newsies and Gypsy? Also the Matilda the musical movie when it comes out. Though just a reaction to the soundtrack would be great!

Hey, would you consider watching the original Broadway play for this? The movie is amazing but it misses out of so much of what the play had. For example, the play had a narrator that was his own character and actually had a very important role in the overall message of the play. And the witch's part was actually written for the actress playing her in the play, the whole thing is on youtube for free
me and my theater self have done so many musicals at my studio i preformed this it was so much fun as soon as u said on my own i started singing the on my own from les mis..i have a theater problem
I'll have to find the Broadway musical now. I remember watching this movie in 2019 when I was in Jamaica. I BAWLED my eyes out It was great. As usual I have MANY questions, but I know it wouldn't be answered without imagination. 😄🤩
I think this film just lost me when they kept Rapunzel alive and cut No More; it changes too much if the witch /isn't/ proven to be occasionally right. So much of ITW is about the failures that come up in the relationship between parents and their children; I just don't get why they cut so much of that here
I love this movie and I also saw the stage production in our theater production in our town
This movie was my introduction to the show. Still never seen it live as idk if I'd Australia has done a production since the film but I'd like to see it & also the current broadway revival looks amazing. The movie was already long apparently so they needed to cut songs. I wish we had more pro shots then movie musicals tbh
I did Inti The Woods as my musical last year! We won best musical also the movie is way different than the play
Meryl Streep was amazing I. Devil wears Prada too
Commenting this before watching the video so have no idea how much you will like this movie, but just gotta say that I absolutely love this movie and have been wanting to see my favourite reactors (such as yourself) reacting to it so thanks :)
“Now you’re a witch with no powers so what else can you do?” The Witch: I can fuckin’ die.
i love how everyone just hates on james corden for no reason but for the fun of it lol
The birds pecked their eyes out
I didnt expect seeing Zavid in this but... "fix it Jesus"
Yes, Jack is Gavroche. Ridiculously talented kid. His Giants in the Sky is powerful. My sister and niece saw this in the theater and HATED it. So I decided to not make the effort. My niece has good judgment of whether a movie is good/bad, funny/bland etc. But we got Disney + and I was going through and watching things I’d not seen: Shang Chi(liked it), WandaVision(liked it), Black Widow(it’s alright), The Eternals(actually liked it🤷🏻♀️). And I came upon Into the Woods. I could not help but watch it, I love musicals. I loved it. I thought my sister and niece were insane. My only problem with it is the songs tend to hang around the same notes and it’s repetitive but there are still GOOD songs. And Meryl absolutely crushes it. I spent the entire film cheering every time she came on screen. And I may have cried when Tracey Ullman died, always been a big fan. And Jack lost his mum. It was all a bit sad.
Just little fun fact because you said “what up with the musical cues?” This show has an obnoxious amount of characters. So most characters have what’s called a leitmotif. A little melody for their entrance, since on stage people are coming and going constantly.
Chicago is still the best musical adaption to the big screen
Okay, including a clip from Zzavid is kinda legendary
Yes it is Gaveroche from Les miserables
Please consider watching the original stage production recording (with Bernadette Peters as the Witch). In my opinion, the play is better.
I think my biggest complaint for this movie is them slowing down some of the faster parts of the songs. Also removing Repunzel's death. It makes the witch's lament a lot less sad.
3:00 he’s thicker than a bowl of grits ❤
22:11 IM DEAD!!!!!!!!
I love this movie. I went into this movie blind. The casting is amazing, Anna, Chris, Johnny, and Emily. Perfect. I also love fractured Fairytales.❤ 1:23 FunFact, Anna, James, and Christine all co stared in The trolls movie. Only 2 years after this movie was made. I don’t watch a lot of Meryl Streep the only I have seen her in besides this is The Prom movie.(2020) FunFact, Lucy Punch who played Lucinda, also played Hattie in Ella Enchanted who was Another step Sister. 2:25 I didn’t even know that scene was parodied from the 1937 Snow White & The seven dwarfs. 3:00🫣😟 Chris Pine has to be my favorite Hollywood Chris.
Misread it as 'Cabin in the Woods'. Would also make a great addition to spooky month. 👻
I love this movie so much and it's all because of Anna Kendrick cause I love her so much just like you movie in depth
1:48 so true
Jack is played by the same kid who played Gavroche in Les Miserables
They cut two songs out of Into The Woods and you can see them on the bonus material on the Blu-ray
