Into the Woods 🎥 2014 Movie Info

Plot Summary

A Baker and his wife wish for a child but suffer under a curse laid upon their family by a Witch. The Witch had found the baker’s father robbing her garden when his wife was pregnant, and demanded their baby in return. Because the Baker’s father also stole her magic beans, the Witch’s own mother punished her with the curse of age and ugliness. The Witch can lift the curse and allow the Baker and his wife to have a child only if they obtain four items for a potion to break her curse, to restore her youth and beauty: a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn, and a slipper as pure as gold—none of which she is allowed to touch.

The Witch’s demands bring the Baker and his wife into contact with Jack, who is selling his beloved cow, Milky-White, and to whom the Baker offers the Witch’s stolen magic beans, found in his father’s coat pocket. When Jack’s Mother tosses the beans away, they grow into a huge beanstalk. The Baker and his wife also encounter Red Riding Hood, who had visited to buy from their bakery on her way to her grandmother’s house, and notice her red cape. The blonde Rapunzel, is observed by the Baker’s wife letting her hair down for her Prince. Cinderella runs into the Baker’s wife while fleeing her Prince and whose ball outfit includes gold slippers. After a series of failed attempts and misadventures, the Baker and his wife are finally able to gather the necessary items.

After the Witch regains her youth and beauty after drinking the potion, each of the characters receives a “happy ending”. The Baker and his wife have a son; Cinderella marries the Prince; Rapunzel is freed from the Witch by the Prince’s brother, whom she marries; Jack provides for his mother by stealing riches from the Giant in the sky, courtesy of the beanstalk, and kills the pursuing Giant by cutting down the beanstalk; and Red Riding Hood and her grandmother are saved from the Big Bad Wolf.
