Into the Woods is a bit of a strange animal around these parts. Wil has some history with the play and he doesn’t like Rob Marshall, which you learned probably earlier but definitely during the Mary Poppins Returns episode. But because he loves the stage show he went in wanting to like the adaptation.
Well he wasn’t that disappointed. The songs were there, the actors were good, but it certainly wasn’t perfect. Our biggest issue with Into the Woods is that Disney were the ones handling it for the big screen. It’s kind of a mashup of fairytales, but Disney didn’t create these tales like a lot of people think. In someone else’s hand, things would have been different.
Kristin has her own feelings about the movie, a bit less colored by nostalgia. She liked it more than Wil for sure. I think the general consensus is that it’s good, but could have been better. Find out how we think it could be better, and jam out to samples of most of the tracks from the show, on today’s episode of So…I’m Watching This Show!
