Into the Woods, Disney’s big-budget fairy tale musical with an A-list cast, has unveiled a new music-filled trailer. Heading to theaters on Christmas, director Rob Marshall’s Into the Woods is based on the award-winning play and stars Meryl Streep, James Corden, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Daniel Huttlestone, Tracey Ullman, Lilla Crawford and Johnny Depp. The cast also includes Christine Baranski, Tammy Blanchard, Lucy Punch, MacKenzie Mauzy, and Billy Magnussen.

The Plot:

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 and Emily Blunt), their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the Witch (Meryl Streep), who has put a curse on them.
