Kudos to whoever suggested Becki Newton as a stepsister. What about Zooey Deschanel? If she has a soprano range she could make a lovely Cinderella. Her style is a bit jazzy, but I can just imagine her acting choices. Or give her 10-15 years, she could make a great Baker's Wife. Okay, I concede. Just put her as a stepsister. I'd put Kristen Bell as Little Red.

Can Laura Linney sing? I know Julie White has sung...she would be hilarious as the Stepmother, even with such a small role.

Actually I could see the film possibly doing much better than Sweeney because a lot of schools do Into The Woods. Kids that have done the show would more than likely go see it. Especially if enough of the cast is recognizable.

Zooey Deschanel is an AMAZING singer. but i am not sure if she's the best actress...and Meryl Streep as the witch is awesome

Witch - Kristen Chenoweth/Vanessa Williams
This works because 1) Cheno has done movies so its not a huge stretch for her and 2) Vanessa Williams, even though, already did the role, she has a fan base because of Ugly Betty.
Narrator/Mysterious Man – John Lithgow/Dick Van Dyke
Cinderella – Laura Michelle Kelly
Baker – Matthew Broderick
This idea really works for me.
Baker's Wife – Laura Linney
Jack – Rupert Grint/Freddie Highmore
In an odd way, I could see this working very well. You need someone bold but still timid.
Jack's Mother – Helena Bonham Carter(for Freddie Highmore)/Debra Monk for Rupert Grint
Both are verrry motherly.
Little Red Riding Hood – Abigail Breslin
Cinderella's Stepmother Joy – Anjelica Houston??
Cinderella's Mother –
Wolf – Jim Carrey
I could easily see him as the wolf. It would be a good role for him.
Rapunzel's Prince –
Grandmother – Eileen Essell
Great actress from the Producers, Duplex and Charlie and the Chocolate factory.
Cinderella's Prince –
Giant- John C. Reilly
Rapunzel – Jayne Wisener
Snow White –
Sleeping Beauty -

Out of ideas for the other ones.
