Talk:Into the Woods/@comment-4991841-20140620020804

So I'm kinda upset about this movie. Into the Woods is my favorite musical, and while I know that the movie cannot be exactly like the show  I read today some of the changes made to it...and I'm completely unimpressed. :/

I respect that Disney's thing is 'Family' movies, and I'm down with that. However, I do wish they'd get into some darker films. I liked Maleficent but what I thought I was getting was a darker, more adult take on the iconic villain but unfortunetly the film didn't go as far as I wanted it to. Likewise, Into the Woods is a pretty dark story, I mean 6 or 7 people die, in pretty tragic ways and there's lots of adult humor and themes. And what I read today they are taking these things out and reforming it to a more kid friendly film. Hell, they are even adding a song called "Rainbows" (facepalm.) Disney is always reliable for a good feeling family movie, but I just wish they didn't have to make everything PG all the time. I want my darker Disney movies. I brought up Maleficent and since we are in the era of the live action fairy tale,  I'd like to point out Snow White and the Huntsman, a darker version of a classic  fairy tale. When you really get into their roots fairy tales are pretty effed up anyway. I'm not saying we need to go that far, I just wish Disney would make a more adult fairy tale, maybe Cinderella next year will change that. I think I even heard about a live action Cruella deVille movie (not connected to the other ones staring Glenn Close) and a live action Beauty and the Beast.
