"Into the Woods," Rob Marshall's filmic adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's classic stage musical of the same name, is an amalgamation of fairy tales, both old and new, put under a contemporary scrutiny. The story revolves largely around the unnamed "Baker" and "Baker's Wife" whose desperate wish for a child drives them to enter the eponymous Woods to gather potion ingredients for their neighbor, the Witch. They learn that, as a result of a wrong the Baker's father did to the Witch, she cursed his household with sterility--a curse that can only be lifted if the couple can make the potion for the Witch by the end of the Blue Moon in three days time.
