Into the Woods

Into the Woods (2014) is Rob Marshall's fantasy musical you can watch online on iFILM. Disney braids several Brothers Grimm tales into one singing storybook, led by Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick and Chris Pine.

A childless baker and his wife learn their neighbor, a bitter witch, cursed their family long ago. To lift it she sends them on a three-day hunt for four things: a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn and a slipper of pure gold. Their path tangles with Cinderella fleeing the ball, Jack and his cow, Little Red Riding Hood, and a wolf played by Johnny Depp. Streep, in green, walks off with every scene she's in.

Adapted from the Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine Broadway musical, the second half refuses a tidy happy ending: every wish granted comes with a bill. The film drew three Academy Award nominations. Stream Into the Woods (2014) online on iFILM.
