The ensemble of fairytale characters, from Cinderella (Anna Kendrick) to a big bad wolf (Johnny Depp, looking creepy even for him) all have their moment in the spotlight in the new trailer, but Meryl Streep’s witch gets top billing, showing off her singing chops and offering glimpses of her character both pre- and post-magical makeover. The James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim-penned musical, a mainstay of high school stages everywhere, will make its big screen debut on Christmas Day. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3560652/new-into-the-woods-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3560652/new-into-the-woods-trailer/"},"headline":"See Meryl Streep Sing in the New Into the Woods Trailer","datePublished":"2014-11-06T14:28:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T11:16:20.015Z","description":"Disney is finally prepared to admit it's a musical","url":"https://time.com/3560652/new-into-the-woods-trailer/","keywords":["movies","Anna Kendrick","meryl streep","Johnny Depp"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt862ba8c04dfe64b0/698764788e06016d0d4581a8/meryl-streep.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt862ba8c04dfe64b0/698764788e06016d0d4581a8/meryl-streep.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Meryl Streep","caption":"","creditText":"Disney","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3560652/new-into-the-woods-trailer/","name":"See Meryl Streep Sing in the New Into the Woods Trailer"}}]}] ```
