"What's the good of being good when everyone is blind". Hahahaha foreshadowing her step sisters
I'm surprised they actually included that part of Cinderella's original story
Like, Ella's friends really *did* claw their eyes out. And yes, her original name is Ella. Cinderella was a nickname given to her after one of the sisters (I think? Correct me if I'm mistaken though) threw a pot full of cinder on her (I don't exactly quite remember what it was that made them give her that nickname but you get my point)
Strongest Soldier
No, it was because after her father died, one or both of the sisters made her sleep next to the cinders and ashes.
I can understand that some people may not like this movie, but I feel it's EXTREMELY underrated. The way the writers used symbolism in every seemingly unimportant detail and intertextuality to weave together the pieces was incredible, adding multiple layers of depth and meaning. I think lots of people are missing out on the full experience by not understanding the underlying meanings and the characters' development. Everything from geographical location, the higher altitudes where thoughts become clearer, the lower, darker woods, where common sense and judgement become clouded through a journey of self discovery, just to name a few. And the witch's garden...the place where she goes to gain a sense of control over growing things, unlike how she was able to do with Rapunzel. And the music. Oh the music. If you truly listen to the lyrics, you can understand Cinderella's limited interactions with her parents in her childhood ONLY, through the simple, child-like adjectives she uses in her advice song. When the princes are singing "agony", they turn it into a competition of who has the most struggle in their romances. The back and forth exchanges between the 2 princes highlights their childish/immature natures and general unfitness to rule. The soundtrack was simple, revolving around Rapunzel's short melodical chant, and the flute and piano crescendos and arpeggios at the end of song phrases (with echoing oboe) along with the marching strings to carry and intertwine and overlap related characters' singing parts. And the simplicity and repetition of The melody can be easily recognized as turning grim when transposed to a minor key. The acting was amazing and the movie had a star cast. I was thoroughly impressed.
Evan Ottervanger I totally agree with you... I loved it before but now I appreciate it even more now that you've pointed all these out! Truly amazing.
You're right though... but even as a band nerd I barely understood even the music section of this comment. Kek
I really like that everyone's story matches up with the Brothers Grimm tales. For instance, Cinderella doesn't have a fairy godmother, she has the willow tree over her mother's grave, and instead of glass slippers, she has gold slippers. The bit where the birds help her sort through the ashes to get the beans (I think it was), is also in the story.
I like that not much was changed.
What was the fairy tale of the baker and his wife fairy tale??
"Into the woods to bring some bread to Granny who is sick in bed". And she sings this with such a happy tone!
I tried doing Cinderellas bird call and my mom thought i was dying lol
"For all that I know she's already dead"

This was the line I am finding if I was just crazy coz my eyes got wide when I heard that -,-
Purple Kittay how does this have 700 likes it’s literally just quoting the video with no original input. i could literally just comment the same exact thing.
I can't remember the movie but I think it foreshadowed the grandma's death

@@bamboozledshrek if it's store bought, you need to bring a can of tuna. Not my rules!
Lmao my childhood😂 I did this play for myself a few times in the backyard
Meryl Streep is amazing in this movie. She is so convincing as the witch.
Natalee Riggins Yeah she's awesome! I loved her role in A Series of Unfortunate Events
She would be convincing as a tree.. And win an academy award!! She's just everything 😭🤩
Lu J Meryl Streep was in A Series of Unfortunate Events? Don’t you mean one of the stepsisters were Esme Gigi Gineveuve Squalor, the city’s 4th best financial advisor?
Anna Kendrick really nailed it
5:49-6:05, finally! Gosh! Finally we get a taste of how Cinderella REALLY feels! Frustrated, angry, just done with having to put up with those...not-so-nice-word-Step-Sisters and step mother! Nicely done, Anna! Make Cinderella real for once! Jeez! Of course, i would've probably popped them long before this....but that's just me...anyway, nicely down!
Katelyn wouldn'tyouliketoknow lmao me too lmao I definitely would’ve
It's really sad how people are claiming that in this movie "Anna Kendrick doesn't show enough emotion in her singing". She really does. One review played a clip to "compare" the movie to the original play. For the movie, they played the clip in which Cinderella wasn't showing any frustration yet, and for the play, they played the clip in which she was already gritting her teeth. I just find that the comparison is unfair, because Anna Kendrick did an amazing job with her role, and she's not getting the credit for it.
5:07 best lines. Little Red is great.
@Kale Ling have you seen jack black's talking with a mouch of peaches skill ?
Into the woods to bring some bread to Granny who is sick in bed.
Never can tell what lies ahead for all that I know she's already dead
"GREENS , GREENS NOTHING BUT GREENS!"
~Meryl Streep as the witch 2014 😂
"HERE, HAVE A BEAN! HAVE ANOTHER BEAN!"
-Also Meryl Streep as the witch
See, I'm a person who sings all Broadway parts with just me. This is going to prove difficult... :/
Lol, the struggle is real. Whenever the parts overlap I have to chose one of them to do at that exact moment and then switch back to the main voice whenever the overlap ends.
5:37 is where the part “Mother said be good, Father said be nice” and so on is played! :)
Red riding hood's parts are my favorite. Lol she's funny XD
I love the wolf one where the wolf sings I always sing that bit (I know it all,I know all the songs!!)
The part at 12:16 with Cinderella and the baker and his wife with the flute and clarinet is just magically orchestrated, lovely to hear this musical with a full orchestra
I have a theory that little red riding hood has no actual mom and views the baker's wife as her mom. We never see her mom and after the giant appears she's only worried for a little while and one could argue that she was talking about the Baker's wife. Also in her song 'I know things now' she says that her mother warned her but the only one who ever warned her about anything was the Baker's wife. And because she can't get pregnant in the beginning the Baker's wife treated LRRH as her daughtern
+Lenora Brown Also in the original story her Mother is the one that gave her the loaves of bread :)
Lenora Brown Makes since, I like it! 1n the play version, 2nd act, Its mentioned that she had no mother.
Actress: *sings about a loaf of bread*
Me: *Inhales deeply* MYNAMEISJEAN VALJEANISTOLEAHANDFULOFBREAD-
@@rainjanaiah4903 found out my friend hasn't seen it and said I'd invite her to my house just to show the the many *many* amazing musicals she hasn't seen. (including into the woods actually)
Regarding the musical in general, I like how this song and the final one reflect the characters matturity.
At first they are not taking the forest seriously, (the woods being a metaphor for life) saying stuff like "yeah, nothing bad can happen to us there", with the baker having some doubts before entering.
And in the end, now they are talking about how hard it is to be in the forest and that nobody is ever exempt from going there, but knowing that they are stronger there with other people and the things they learn in the past ventures into it. And now the baker says that even though the light is fading, he can still see a glimmer.
It's a very nice musical.
I love how nonchalantly the witch says "your mother...died" it just pleases me. I love her rap plus red riding hood and Cinderella's parts
My favorite part is when Cinderella is singing and is doing the girls hair. Thats amazing. You did an amazing job on all this. I would give you a high five but since this is on the internet, I can't. But again, you did a great job on this!!
Little Red Riding Hood's singing is my favorite part ^_^
Same! ps Me And My Theatre Friends Are Gonna Be The Little Red Riding Hood Group
i love this movie especially the fact that each individual story is based more on the Brothers Grimm storys in stead of Disney it gives the hole movie a darker feel and i really like that.
is James Cordon (the Baker) also the narrator? now that I think about it, he sounds just like James
Zain Mayne it's a foreshadowing of him telling the story to his baby after the mother dies
Man: Oh my God
Woman: just leave it
Man: she's a thief
And all the part that Little Red Riding Hood is in are my favorite parts of this song
My favorite part is tied between Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella.
“Everyone in this village knows the cow hasn’t given a drop of milk in weeks”
You don’t have to sell the cow for milk, if you know what I mean
Anna Kendrick has REALLY an amazing voice. :-O
- casually sings along -
I know I’m 3 years late but hOW DO YOU SINNG THIS CASUALLY ITS SO INTENSE AND THERE ARE SO MANY PARTS AND AAAAAAH IM IMPRESSED
I don’t know what it is, but I live for the part where the wife sings “more than the moon.” The progression of notes just sparks serotonin.
And the whole bit with the witch’s greens. Meryl Streep is a treasure.
"I wish we had a child"
That part pulls at my heart every time
Yes. The word is 'clod' not 'clawed'. And yes, the word is 'raping' not 'raving'. Now that that is established, can you guys comment something other than pointing that out again? Thnx
Lol! I was thinking the same thing. No need to argue over something silly like that.
It all say got and go witch is wrong right before it say into the woods a million times
Little red's part and voice is AMAZING! Who played little red in this?
Lilla Crawford plays little red I know, they found good voices for this whole movie. Everyone has a remarkingly amazing voice
Red has amazing voice ♥♥
tattoo fever I agree, but I prefer the play version, in which she is played by a young adult. It makes "Hello, Little Girl" and "I know things now" a lot more sexual and funny!
I wish to see this movie again. I wish to put this on my Christmas list.
Go on youtubeonfire.com for free movies no pay. I'm not even kidding I just watched this movie
WITCH: "He was robbing me, raping me!"
ME: "Uh, you don't have to compare your salad to sexual assault."
siobhan murray Well, it is Disney. They wouldn't say raping lol
she says raping. but it doesn't mean sexual assault it means to steal from someone.
13:41 is my favorite part of the song. It's so much fun to sing! I also love the witch's parts as well.
The little girl playing little red riding hood was so cute & a perfect cast.
I wanna see this again! This is a really good movie! I watched this yesterday! 😊
I know right wait you just saw this movie yesterday but u want to see it again? I would its a grate movie!!!
Cool I love into the Wood's!! I love Meryl steeps part in the past when u mother was with child unusual appitiot they where lovey couple but no lovey eneyway I made my clame oh don't take away the baby but I did and I hide her wares shell never be seen!
The way is clear,
The light is good,
I have no fear,
Nor no one should.
😇 Love this
"For all i know shes already dead "
O.O. wow. Thats pretty dark little red....BUT FUNNY !!!!
This is a masterpiece. I really loved this movie. All of the crossovers and everything. It's- like all of the fairytales combined into a one musical movie. Which is sooo interesting! I really respect this movie. Imagine all the hard work for the script, all the acting, etc.I also respect all of the actors and staff specially to the script writers, costume designers and the director. Huge respect :(((
It IS a crossover. Specifically, It's a crossover of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack and the Beanstalk.
When u watch the movie there are so much singing, but great voices. The girl who plays for Cinderella is the girl who made the Cup Song!
Anna Kendrick, but yes. She didn't **MAKE** it. She performed it in Pitch Perfect and the directors wrote it. ~
Toxicated UA-camrs Um.. the directors didn't write the cup song.
Caitlin Loughlin They didn't write the song. They put the song "When I'm Gone" written by A.P. Carter from the 30s with the cup game
Aaaaghhh I fricking love 0:52 when Anna and Emily harmonize😍 just beautiful
When I heard this when I was little, I thought the witch was talking about how they weren’t gonna be able to make more bread. “Nothing cooking in that belly now” I though she was talking about the oven.
@@LOSTLEAD8R she’s talking about how they’ll never have a child. She points to the baker’s wife’s stomach as she says the line
I always get chills at those last few seconds.
Thanks for all the thanks! You guys are all so sweet 😁 enjoy the videos!
La Vie Boheme Hate to complain cause this is amazing but it is clod not clawed
The best 14 minutes of my life
7:46
i tought i heard "RRRRapping me"but instead that was Raving me
The cast did so well with this, I was so impressed 😍
Emily Blunt’s voice is amazing when she says “no this is our house” anyone else agree?
one bit of advice: can you color the different parts? like have the baker's line be blue and the stepsister's lines be green and stuff. it's hard to differentiate between the parts and it's hard to sing along to a single part when all the lines are the same color
Singing this for my audition for my schools musical💞✨

I got to play flute and other woodwinds for this for a local high school when I was in college. It’s always a ton of fun and especially seeing the intricacies that went into this prologue.
Once upon a time! (Then that’s when the music started for ours)
The music in this movie is amazing, i used to watch this a lot and never realised how the story and music and acting was amazing!
If you have never seen it i highly recommend it 👌
LET'S SEE HOW GOOD WE ARE...SHALL WE?

Once upon a time
In a far-off kingdom
There lay a small village
At the edge of the woods

And in this village

More than anything...

*And now she lived with her stepmother*
The Festival...HA!
*who had two daughters of her own.*
Katelyn wouldn'tyouliketoknow stepsister 1:look at your nails... stepsister 2:look at your dress.
Stepsister 1 :people would laugh at you never the less. Altogther:you still wish to go the festival and dance mortify the prince. Cinderella (at same time as them. :I still wish to go to the festival and dance before the prince.
I wish
(And in this village)
More than anything
(Lived a young maiden)
More than life, more than jewels
(A carefree young lad)
I wish
More than life
(And a childless baker)
I wish
(With his wife)
More than anything, more than the moon
I wish
The King is giving a Festival
More than life
I wish
I wish to go to the Festival
More than riches
And the ball
I wish my cow would give us some milk
More than anything
I wish we had a child (Please, pal)
I want a child (Squeeze, pal)
I wish to go to the Festival (I wish you'd give us some milk or even cheese)
I wish we might have a child
I wish
You wish to go to the Festival?
(The poor girl's parents had died)
You, Cinderella, the Festival?
You wish to go to the Festival?
The Festival? The King's Festival?
(And now she lived with her stepmother)
The Festival? Ha!
(Who had two daughters of her own)
Look at your nails!
Look at your dress!
People would laugh at you
Nevertheless, I still want to go to the Festival
And dance before the Prince
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
(All three were beautiful of face, but vile and black of heart)
I wish
(Well, she was at her wit's end)
I wish my son were not a fool
I wish my house was not a mess
I wish the cow was full of milk
I wish the walls were full of gold
I wish a lot of things
What in heaven's name are you doing with the cow inside the house?
I thought if he got nice and warm he might produce some milk
It's a she, how many times do I have to tell you only shes can give milk?
I wish
It's not for me, it's for my Granny in the woods
A loaf of bread, please
To bring my poor old hungry granny in the woods
Just a loaf of bread, please
Cinderella, if you can pick up these lentils
And finish your chores in time
Then you may go to the ball with us
Come along ladies
Yes, Mother
Good luck
Come, little birds
Down from the eaves, and the leaves, over fields, out of castles and ponds
(Now, squeeze, pal) Aah-aah-aah-ah
Quick, little birds
Flick through the ashes
Pick and peck but swiftly sift through the ashes, into the pot
Now listen to me well, son, Milky-White must be taken to market
Mother, no, he's the best cow in the world
Was, she has been dry for weeks now with no food or money, and no choice but to sell her
But, Milky-White's my best friend
Look at her
There are bugs on her dugs
There are flies in her eyes
There's a lump on her rump
Big enough to be a hump (But)
We've no time to sit and dither
While her wither's wither with her
And no one keeps a cow for a friend
Sometimes I wonder what's goin' on in that head of yours
Into the woods, it's time to go
I hate to leave, I have to, though
Into the woods, it's time, and so
I must begin my journey
Into the woods, and through the trees
To where I am expected ma'am
Into the woods to Grandmother's house
Into the woods to Grandmother's house
Are you certain of your way?
The way is clear
The light is good
I have no fear, nor no one should
The woods are just trees
The trees are just wood
I sort of hate to ask it, but do you have a basket?
Yes, we do
I don't suppose you're planning on buying any of these (Oh, shh)
Now, don't stray and be late, alright?
You might save some of those sweets for Granny?
Oh my (Just, leave it)
She's a thief!
Into the woods and down the dell
The path is straight, I know it well
Into the woods and who can tell
What's waiting on the journey?
Into the woods to bring some bread
To Granny who is sick in bed
Never can tell what lies ahead
For all that I know, she's already dead
But into the woods
Into the woods
Into the woods
To Grandmother's house
And home before dark
Cinderella! Get up here!
Fly, birds, back to the sky
We're waiting!
Back to the eaves, and the leaves, and the fields, and the
Hurry up and do my hair, Cinderella
Are you really wearing that?
Here, I found a little tear, Cinderella
Can't you hide it with a hat?
You look beautiful
I know (She means me), no she didn't
Father said be good, mother said be nice
That was always their advice
So be nice, Cinderella, good, Cinderella
Nice, good, good, nice (Tighter!)
What's the good of being good if everyone is blind
Always leaving you behind?
Never mind, Cinderella, kind, Cinderella
Nice, good, nice, kind, good, nice
Ow! Not that tight! God!
Who might that be?
We've sold our last loaf of bread!
It's the witch from next-door
We have no bread
I don't want your bread
Then what is it you wish?
It's not what I wish, it's what you wish
Nothing cooking in that belly now is there?
And there will never be
Unless you do exactly as I say
In three days time a blue-moon will appear
Only then can the curse be undone
6:09 Peridot will be proud
Me trying to memorize this whole song by always listening to this everyday in the bathroom
1:48 my parents when i dont clean up
"For all that I know she's already dead!" She sings that with such happiness. "But into the woods!" This is how we all need to act when something happens. Basically, 'Back to life where we have to deal with whatever it throws in our direction!'
Dude I was about to comment on the "clawed" thing. But then I saw the comment saying not to anymore. Felt kinda bad. Sorry for all the people commenting on your mistakes.
Lol "4 all I know she might be dead"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
this movie is very special to me, the woods symbolize my depression. I have to believe the woods are just trees, my problems and struggles are just temporary. after the earthquake the woods were in chaos at that point I thought I already knew what to do but my plan of overcoming it is not that easy. In the last song, no one is alone, all those words on that song comfort me like blanket. my friends thought I was too gay for loving this movie. they will never understand why I love this movie coz no one wants to support my journey and I understand that everyone has their own woods to journey to and sometimes we just met somewhere there.
Jack is the boy out of Les Miserable my crush 😳💕
This is rly helpful, none of the lyric sites has this song.
I saw this musical live once. At a regional theatre. It was mind blowning. Such a good one to see if you get the chance.
Thank you so much!! I have been looking for the correct lyrics and I'm glad I stumbled upon these into the woods videos.
when you realize you're watching cinderella, rapunzel, little red riding hood and jack and the bean stalk all at once lol
One of the most wonderful musicals I have seen in a very long time. I bought the DVD to see it and I expected a movie. I did not realize it was a musical. I was mesmerized! Although I own nearly every musical made on DVD going back to South Pacific, Carousel, Seven brides for seven daughters, etc etc, I have only bought 1 other soundtrack, which was ANNIE. I bought the musical soundtrack and downloaded the lyrics. It was so enjoyable~~
If you haven't watched to movie dont press read more bc there are spoilers
Now everyone who has watched it:
When Cinderella says " what's the good in being good if everyone is blind" she is kinda predicting the future bc around half way through the movie her sisters go blind the same time she doesnt have to be kind to them anymore....
I went to revisit this just to listen to the witch, we had a play and that was the most memorable, exhausting, frustrating but wonderful act we've every done for our junior year .
I'm proud that I can casually sing the whole Prologue. OwO....
god i love merryl streep 😭😭
the witch is my favorite
she’s just so DRAMATIC in both her entrances and her exits, an icon honestly
Yeah, I can rap: Greens, greens, nothing but greens! Parsley, peppers, cabbages and celery! Asparagus and watercress, fiddleferns and lettuce- he said ‘Alright,’ but it wasn’t quite! ‘Cause I caught him in the eve in the garden one night!
Me: yeah I can rap

I cant explain how much i love this song... THANKS!
Aye! This was so helpful. We had to listen to the music of into the woods because I’m doing the play, as Florinda. And this was so nice to get an idea of what the music is like!
I love this opening so much. The timing in the actors is so fun to listen to.
*"WE MUST BE GONE! GO!"*
When my friends are idiots in public.
5:49 this part just hit different

My school is doing the prologue, and I was cast as Cinderella! So happy!
“I know, I’ll visit Mother’s grave, the grave at the willow tree” 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
4:14 and 5:00
i had to sing this in 8th grade and 4 years later it's still stuck in my head.
I’m 9th grade and we see all the play and is more than 2 hours and after we had to watch the same but the Disney version
i love the witch in this whole movie. im memorizing everything because my school theater is performing this for my senior year
I love how the witch said that greens for a baby is fair.
14:00
Into the Gala we must go,
We're ready now,
We're all aglow
Into the Gala, let's go in and have the best night ever
Into the Gala, now's the time, we're ready and we look divine
Into the Gala, meet new friends
Into the Gala, sell some apples
Into the Gala, find my prince
Prove I'm great as a Wonderbolt is
To meet!

To find!
To prove!
To whoop!
To talk!
Into the Gala, into the Gala!
And we'll have the best night ever!
At the Gala!
"Never mind Cinderella kind Cinderella nice good nice kind."
I like that part, what a lovely voice.
Craig Wilson remember red says “there’s a difference between nice and good”
Well that is Anna Kendrick
