Questions:

-Is the Baker ever aware that Rapunzel is his sister? He knows he has a sister but is he ever told it is her?

- What exactly happens to The Witch after LAST MIDNIGHT? Does she just disappear? Die? Some say she gets dragged into the ground by her Mother. Is there a consensus?

I don't think that the Baker ever meets or knows about Rapunzel. That whole part seems kind of unclosed. I almost feel like Lapine thought about doing something with that story but it never happened.

I always thought that the Witch melted like the wicked witch but I think that part is pretty much up to interpretation. I've saw a production where she simply ran offstage and another where she was dragged by roots underground and had her neck snapped.

According to the leaked script SPOILERS:

-The Witch tells the Baker that he has a sister named Rapunzel, and as far as we know he has no real reunion with her

- Also, in the leaked script, after the Witch throws away the special beans, her mothers hands pull her underground leaving a pit of "tar" behind (which later is used to trap the Giant)

In other productions where she's not "dragged" I just imagined that after she threw away the beans a whole bunch of stuff happens, then she dissapears.


Hope that helps

I've always seen it as sort of a magical suicide. She goes thru this mental break, throws the beans and regains enough juice to do herself in. I know of productions that have taken the suicide aspect quite literally. One where the Witch hangs herself at the end Last Midnight comes to mind. I HATE when they just have her run off stage. It seems so incredibly lazy to me. There is so much you can do besides having her sink into the ground.

In the original staging with the trap door, it seemed like the Witch was leaving the world of the living ("Just away from this bunch!") and descending into some kind of underworld.

In the original tour, which had no trap door, she disappeared in a flash of smoke.

Finally got to see what everyone here is talking about-and whatever it is ,or about, or how it ends and who does what to who[m]-it looks fantastic and can't wait to see it.
I can remember as a child watching Disney films and thinking 'not another song just get on with it' so it's no wonder they are cautious about showing that it is a film 'with songs'.
PS-I don't mind singing now.

Me too! But I guess all the people who just love all musicals and go to see all musicals never had that experience as children.

Much ado about Nothing! A non event- they might as well have posted still shots. I am dreading hearing Streep "sing" again. Do people really believe that the public will go to this movie because Streep is in it? "I always go to a Liv Ullmann musical" ring a bell?? So why wouldn't they have put in Bernadette or Victoria Clarke or any wonderful Diva- Streisand could have done it! Patti! And Blunt? How did this woman become a name? She is completely wrong for the Baker's wife and it pains me to think of her doing the role. Why wasn't Toni Collette in this? Sutton? Idina? Any of the real divas. After the disastrous Sweeney, I prayed that they actually put top musical talent in a musical.

During "Witch's Lament" the Witch says "stay behind walls, like I could not" and in "Last Midnight says, "Alright mother when? Lost the beans again! Punish me the way you did then! Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch and the doom, and the gloom, and the boom crunch!" and in the 2002 revival she says to the Baker's son, "Let's fly, you and me, far away" and "I'm leaving you alone...back to what I know, back to long ago, safe inside the world that I'm from. Better ugly and spurned with my powers returned...time to disappear...Mother, hear I come!" So it sounds like the Witch just goes back to being punished with ugliness back in the occult world she and her mother were apart of. Since she's not a demon I don't see why she'd go to some other world, just a faraway land full of magic and safe from human outsiders.

If Anna Kendrick has a British accent she's just fitting in with Jack and the others who do and since these fairy tales are all European, a European accent fits.

Meryl Streep's lines and looks were stellar and chilling. This was a dynamite trailer.

sorry if this is repeating things here...but DISNEY will probably drop into theatres one or two more trailers which i am confidant will include singing...this is more a TEASER TRAILER...meant to intrigue the audience into wanting to see more...if they initially only sold this as a MUSICAL, they might not find a larger audience when it opens...WE ALL KNOW IT'S A MUSICAL...believe it or not more don't...

The Witch after the transformation seems to have the same blue hair and the same color blueish black gown, and similar poofy sleeves like she had in her ugly guise. Not a shoulder-padded cape.

For all we know what we heard in the trailer was done specifically for this trailer. I can almost guarantee that's not how it will be heard while the song is actually sung. It certainly won't be 4 or 5 strings though.

The music is probably orchestrations from underscoring elsewhere in the movie.

I keep looking at Meryl Streep's post transformation photo, and I realized that, Meryl looks GREAT! That picture was blurry, and her eyes were squinted, but I think I have a good eye on how things are going to turn out on screen, and I can safely say I LOVE her look.She looks like Meryl, and they were smart to make her stay that way (they're not giving her top billing for nothing). And she looks very classy, and lovely. I am very pleased.
