Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's fairy tale-themed musical INTO THE WOODS arrived in movie theaters on Christmas Day and blew the box office wide open. Now, Disney's film adaptation has shared yet another behind-the-scenes featurette (we're not complaining!) highlighting some of the movie musical's most lyrical moments. Watch it below!

INTO THE WOODS is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters' wishes and quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), Jack and the Beanstalk (Daniel Huttlestone), and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy) - all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife (James Corden & Emily Blunt), their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch (Meryl Streep) who has put a curse on them.

Rob Marshall, the talented filmmaker behind the Academy Award-winning musical "Chicago" and Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," helms the film, which is based on the Tony-winning original musical by James Lapine, who also penned the screenplay, and legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, who provides the music and lyrics. INTO THE WOODS is produced by Marshall, John DeLuca, "Wicked" producer Marc Platt and Callum McDougall.
