I knew what I was getting into, and I loved it. You just need to be in the proper frame of mind. If you want butterflies and songbirds and happily-ever-after, go watch the earlier Disney greats. "Into the Woods" is a blending of different fairy tales from their original DARK, FOREBODING, DISTURBING perspectives. If you don't like musicals, don't watch it. Um.hello? Do you even know what "PG" stands for? It means "Parental Guidance suggested".this means that you, as a parent, should decide if it's right for your child to view. People are screaming up and down that this is most definitely NOT a family film. Instead, it's more true to the original Brothers Grimm stories.let me repeat ue to the original Brothers Grimm.if you don't know what I'm speaking of, if you think Snow White was about dancing dwarfs and tweeting birds, then you really need to visit a library. Okay, I will agree with one point: It is NOT your typical Disney fairy tale. Several others had been contemplated, worked out, even started casting for, but this is the only one that was ever completed.NOT because it was "horrible" "awful", or whatever, but because it was such a daunting task! I thought that this movie was a wonderful work of art that addresses a lot of life issues (after all, Sondheim is also a noted psychologist). This is the first film adaptation of "Into the Woods". THIS WAS IN THE ORIGINAL MUSICAL! In fact, Disney toned it down severely! Horrible score? Tell that to Sondheim - he wrote the pieces (and won awards for them).sigh.
Okay, yes, it has dark elements, including references to pedophilia. How could you not know that it was.this musical's been around for nearly THIRTY YEARS NOW! Ahem. Okay, first of all, let me address the 1-star crowd.
