Not only was the film full to the brim of amazing actors and actresses, they were also exceptional singers. Apart from seeing her in Mamma Mia, I had no idea that Meryl Streep could hit those kind of notes. James Corden also shocked me with his singing efforts. Who knew he could sing? The younger actors and actresses were too extremely impressive. Lilla Crawford who played Little Red Riding Hood had a singing voice that 30-somethings would be jealous of. In one particular song she sings deeper and sounds older than Anna Kendrick. Daniel Huttlestone (of Les Miserables fame) is too extraordinary and keeps his usual musical flair and cheeky grin. I can also not forget how sexy Johnny Depp is in this movie. He is only in it for the briefest of time, yet he is one of the most memorable parts. His song "Hello Little Girl" has so much sex appeal, you literally fall in love with the villain, (well I did anyway.)
For those of you who don't know the storyline. The very brief basis of it is this:
There is a baker and his wife who unbeknownst to them have had a curse put upon them from the witch next door so that they may never have a child. In order to break this wretched curse, they must locate 4 items and bring them to the witch. These being: the cloak as red as blood, the cow as white as milk, the hair as yellow as corn and the slipper as pure as gold. As you can tell already this story is going to intertwine the lives of lots of different fairy tale characters. It puts a twist on the modern fairy tales that we know and love and spins everything on it's head.
The songs are unknowingly catchy and lovable from the offset, and I have been singing them ever since. If you haven't yet seen it and love everything that Disney stands for, you must go and see it! You won't regret it!
