I received a Blu-ray of Into the Woods from Disney for my review. All opinions are my own.
I was so excited for this release so I could own this movie! (Head over and read our Into the Woods movie review.) I watched it with my son on Blu-ray and we both enjoyed it very much! I am so glad we now own it and can watch it anytime. I also really like that the Blu-ray comes with a Digital Copy so we can watch it anywhere.
“Into the Woods” is a modern twist on several of the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), Jack and the Beanstalk (Daniel Huttlestone), and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy)-all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife (James Corden & Emily Blunt), their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch (Meryl Streep) who has put a curse on them.” –Disney
