I was sent passes to see a screening of the movie before it hits theaters. No other compensation was received. All opinions are my own.
My husband and I took the opportunity to have a date night while checking out Disney’s latest movie: Into The Woods. I knew this movie was a mixture of a bunch of disney characters and there was some singing but that’s really all I knew. Oh, and Johnny Depp may have pushed me closer to seeing the movie. Want to know what its about? Check it out!
Into the Woods is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales in a musical format that follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel-all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them.
While I enjoyed the movie, I did think it was a little long. The movie happens to be about 2 hours long and to me, that’s a little long for disney movie. I know my children wouldn’t have sat through the entire thing. With that being said, I did enjoy the movie. It is a musical which is something I don’t get the chance to see very often. I love musicals. I think it may be something about actors (and actresses) doing 2 things at the same time and doing it well. Singing is my favorite.
This movie is definitely an interesting take on the Grimm Brothers’ stories. I love how disney includes the parts of the story that we all know but makes them their own at the same time. I laughed and I felt myself tear up just a little bit. As always, Disney is awesome at the morals of their stories and this one doesn’t disappoint. I think its super cute, just needs to be a tad shorter. Check out the trailer right now:
