According to Variety, the film is based on Stephen Sondheim's 1987 Broadway musical. The plot centers on a childless baker and his wife as they attempt to lift a family curse by going into the enchanted woods to confront the witch that cast the spell on them.
During their titular trip, the family meets a host of characters from fairy tales including Rapunzel, Cinderella, Jack form Jack the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. Depp is rumored for the Wolf role.
