did this number have a lot of sexual overtones? yes. but was the original theme of the fairytale basically a metaphor for rape? also yes. I think they did a good job making the real theme obvious for adults without making it so obvious that kids and younger people could still watch it and not catch that
Johnny Depp was playing a character. And since "Into the Woods" has the wolf written as it is suppose to be (creepy and scary), Depp definitely captured that you should be careful of dangers, of any kind. Plus, the original text for fairy tales aren't what kids read right now. The Brother's Grimm Fairy Tales can probably provide extra insight to these scary characters, like the wolf.
To those who are not educated in Itno the Woods: Yes-- this song is creepy, yes-- this song is a reference to the Wolf wanting to rape little red. The theme is to not trust everyone, despite how nice they ar
FALSE: this song is about how the wolf wants to EAT red, not rape her....one because that's the DISNEY original story, and TWO because he's supposed to be a wolf, not a middle aged wierdo in the middle of the woods.
The rape implications makes sence, since in the purest form, Little Red Riding Hood; even when it was first written, was a tale warning young children about being wary of strangers since they can be predators, though in the story the wolf is a literal predator.
The fact that this song isn't sung in a very low voice just makes it that much more creepy, and I have no idea why. It's so perfectly horribly revolting
If I had to guess why that makes it creepier, I would have to say that it's because his register/pitch sounds more like a real person and less like a cartoonish villain. He sounds like someone 'normal' that you could run into on the street. There's also the dissonance that something creepy that you expect to be sung in a very low voice /isn't/, and dissonance definitely has a creepiness factor.
*gestures to teeth and claws* these are my friends, see how they glisten, see this one shine, how he smiles, in the lights, my frieeeeends, my faithful frieeeeeends.
I'm pretty sure some of the developers were discussing "How do we sneak a pervert song into this kids movie?", and one random guy said "Cast Johnny Depp as the wolf. Duh." The rest was history.
We watched this in my drama class and when Jack and Red met up when she had the wolf fur cloak a boy in the back of the class room joked "hey look it's Johnny Depp"
Ah... I remember watching this when it came out and thinking, "man, he really wants to eat her..." Oh, you innocent child. If only you knew what he ACTUALLY wants to do to her... Edit: also, 2019 anyone?
Into the woods stories were based on the actual uncensored tales. Little red was raped, the step sister cut off their toes, the mom got her eyes gouged out
This song is so creepy and disturbing but also mesmerizing and alluring. Which is basically as perfect as you can get with this story. Johnny Depp did a marvelous job with this part.
_"What a delectable couple"_ I call a threeso-... A three course meal! 'Cause, you know... _Just one would be so boring._ And if that doesn't state you appetite, we can have it _twice in one day!_ >:D
I think they should do a movie about The Big Bad Wolf and have Johnny Depp play the Wolf.The wolf shows Johnny acting history very well.(not all of the movies but the Tim Burton's mostly lol)
Johnny Depp was fantastic here. He has a nice singing voice and his character is just dark and scary. Why did he have to die?! If only he showed up more.
We had to listen to this for a listening question in music today, never felt so uncomfortable but so funny when everyone started laughing too xD love Johnny's voice in this though despite the uncomfortable feeling
its scary how good this song is & im not talking about the message, i’m talking about his singing and the instrumental esp in 0:36 just ughjkadjsk it just reinforces the message about grooming/rape
My BIGGEST issue with the casting of this movie was Red. Red is meant to be a "lush" and plump little girl. A glutton who eats sweets, is generally lazy, and is the plump and lush desire of a hungry wolf. The girl they chose, while talented and character-wise very on-point, is thin and athletic. Red isn't meant to be either of those things. She's meant to be thicker and chubby, maybe thinning out some as the second act and the months between unfolds.
Gabrielle Rice Well, I think she fits perfectly, she's very talented and her cheeks are chubby. And it's stated that she ate *all the sweets* and half the load of bread. She isn't running through the woods, either. She's skipping, taking her time to get to Granny's house. In the Baker's shop she is literally stealing and eating food. She even says she hates to leave; Which could be her way of saying that she doesn't want to leave for one of two reasons: 1. She's too lazy or 2. She wants to stay at the shop to eat some more. The prologue even describes her as 'A hungry little girl who always wore a red cape.' But hey, that's just my opinion.
One of my favourite things about into the woods is this scene. It really emphasizes what the whole point of the fairy tale is. It shows how when the original story was written by Charles Perrault, although it takes on the Brothers Grimm ending. It has that creeping feeling that there is something not quite right about the wolf. Through the way he acts and how he talks, he really is a predator but not in the way that we may think. Yes he wants to eat little red but if you look closely "Eating" could herald the 1810 ending where the lesson was for young girls to be weary of cunning men who would "Eat" them up, take something so valuable from them that it could cause great distress like little red after the whole ordeal.
Johnny Depp's temptation song to this little girl is WAY too sexual! It's like watching Jack Nicholson meet Hailee Steinfield. *Ding!* -The Reason I Even Watched This Video
Some of y'all are messed up. He did his job and did it fucking amazing, considering the entire movie. Maybe if you knew the backstory of the movie, you wouldn't be making sick jokes - just saying. Take a time to shut up and appreciate the amazaing vocals cuz daaamn.
i swear this is like teen angel from grease one cool song minimal stage time but still somehow turns out to be one of the coolest characters in the whole show
Johnny Depp did really well with the Wolf.
I agree!
me too!
Omg agreed :P
I wish the wolf had had a bigger part I'm the film.
Georgina Eyles me to

obvious that kids and younger people could still watch it and not catch that
lmao i was little red in 4th grade and my friend was the wolf it was soooo awkward
@@nstyboards2k573 omg lmao
:o omg what i never noticed this weow
I though it was just me lol
lol fr. when I was younger and first watched it, I didn't really think much of it. But now that I'm older this song makes me really uncomfortable.
Johnny did this part a little TOO good
yes it's perfect
then again he was the demon barber.. 👀👀👀
totally
I swear... Johnny depp just looks better as he ages 0-0
Well then he’s a good actor ain’t he lol

corrinne martinez Actually, I'm sure the Wolf was supposed to represent rapists too in the original Grimm tale.
**jontron voice** BAD TOUCH, BAD TOUCH, STRANGER DANGER
lol
*blows whistle* RAPE
BAD VIBE

I honestly didn't think Depp had it in him until I watched this and Sweeney Todd, lol
.....................
Same!
Lol I’m like three years late for this comment
sweeney todd vibes everywhere right now
Well they are both Stephen Sondheim musicals
@@mj3625 and both had johnny singing
*gestures to teeth and claws* these are my friends, see how they glisten, see this one shine, how he smiles, in the lights, my frieeeeends, my faithful frieeeeeends.
Depp was phenomenal here... well... he usually is phenomenal but for someone who keeps saying he cant sing he does really REALLY well in musicals 😳
He does yeah 😂💙
Johnny Depp really needed more scenes! He was amazing!
YES OMG I FEEL THE SAME!
YEA!!! In my opionion he's the best actor Eva!!
+Meredith Kelly Something tells me you haven't seen the play.
+Meredith Kelly kind of wish they'd gone a little off-book and written in a new scene with him...
xiu mer IKR
That note he holds when he says “take your time” is SO good
IKR
I'm pretty sure some of the developers were discussing "How do we sneak a pervert song into this kids movie?", and one random guy said "Cast Johnny Depp as the wolf. Duh."
The rest was history.
DittoMaster6 this song was hilariuos x'D when i heard it I thought of all the kids that would have listened to it. Johnny did a marvelous job
DittoMaster6 This is not a kid's movie...well, the musical isn't a kid's one.
I know he sounds so pervy
Vash Zwingli Yeah, it wasn't.
DittoMaster6 He's supposed to sound perverted he's portraying a pedophile, the wolf in the story symbolizes a pedophile.
We watched this in my drama class and when Jack and Red met up when she had the wolf fur cloak a boy in the back of the class room joked "hey look it's Johnny Depp"
Hello Rachel Marie i thinking about you
To y’all in denial
MANY versions of red riding her include her being made to throw her clothes into the fire and get into bed with the wolf naked
Wow any subtlety was thrown in the fire as well and seriously they got a little girl to get naked 🤮🤮
I also remember some versions mentioning a "furry tail" in the bed which is 🤢
Yeah-
Think how much more weirder it would be if Burton directed jt
@LavenderMilkTea Honestly a lot of people would have probably preferred that - I suspect it would have been truer to the musical
@@esteraulrich-oltean2162
That would've been awesome I like the movie the way it is but Tim Burton would've done just as good.
When i saw this was Johnny Depp I cried with joy because he is literally my favorite actor :D
Ah... I remember watching this when it came out and thinking, "man, he really wants to eat her..."
Oh, you innocent child. If only you knew what he ACTUALLY wants to do to her...
Edit: also, 2019 anyone?
Yes I'm here hehe
@Nova D yup present!
2019 was 3 years ago 😨
@@allieshyelf oh nah 💀 i hate that that’s true
Bro I'm listening in 2023
Into the woods stories were based on the actual uncensored tales. Little red was raped, the step sister cut off their toes, the mom got her eyes gouged out
Its A Weird Song But Its So addicting
I know, I said this so late but...same....I think that, you understand me!
This can be taken in very different ways
This song is so creepy and disturbing but also mesmerizing and alluring. Which is basically as perfect as you can get with this story. Johnny Depp did a marvelous job with this part.
Johnny Depp is a fucking legend
“Your traveling so FLEETly!!” Oh hahahaha I get it Demon Barber of Fleet Street hahaha
Nice reference
I don't care what anyone on here says! This is my favorite song in the entire musical and there's nothing you can say that will change my mind!
this was extremely uncomfortable to watch xD
Yeah + I was watching with my mam and Gran !!!
FlashakaViolet that’s the point
It achieved its goal
_"What a delectable couple"_ I call a threeso-... A three course meal! 'Cause, you know... _Just one would be so boring._ And if that doesn't state you appetite, we can have it _twice in one day!_ >:D
😂😂😂
This is both genius and hilarious all at once and I love it! 🤣🤣🤣
johnny depp is my favorite actor:
he is super actor
and
he has super voice
XD
:)
;)
Johnny did this too good. Scary good. Like uncomfortably good
*_That might be the best Actor I’ve ever seen._*
*_So it would seem._*
Gives a whole new meaning to the word "predator"
I honestly don't know if this one or I Know Things Now is worse in the insinuations, but I have to say I absolutely adore this
I think they should do a movie about The Big Bad Wolf and have Johnny Depp play the Wolf.The wolf shows Johnny acting history very well.(not all of the movies but the Tim Burton's mostly lol)
Johnny Depp was fantastic here. He has a nice singing voice and his character is just dark and scary. Why did he have to die?! If only he showed up more.
Johnny Depp's voice is so sexy XD I think this was the highlight of the movie for me!!!
SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS!! (Sorry I am too excited)
@@delphinethompson6672 I know exactly what you mean!
Same!!!!
For real omg! I just realized this is what I want I want a tall muscular boy with this voice
His vocals in this were incredible! To think I never knew he could sing like that until watching sweeny Tod and this.
Usually, when Johnny plays a character, his voice is COMPLETELY different. In this, however, his voice sounds like him. And I love it.
We had to listen to this for a listening question in music today, never felt so uncomfortable but so funny when everyone started laughing too xD love Johnny's voice in this though despite the uncomfortable feeling
His voice is amazing 💕
The fun and tense moments are balanced so well in this piece. Nice job Johnny
I didn’t know Johnny Depp could sing until Sweeney Todd and I’m so happy I’ve found more in the similar style :))))))
Ugh Johnny did it again❤
this song seemed very sweeny todd
This is one of my favorite songs in the soundtrack and Johnny Depp delivered it perfectly
Idk how this hasn't gotten alot of recognition. This is amazing.
its scary how good this song is & im not talking about the message, i’m talking about his singing and the instrumental esp in 0:36 just ughjkadjsk it just reinforces the message about grooming/rape

they cast for talent
@@sachixox1689 Yup, agreed!
Johnny Depp made the part of the Wolf more terrifying than the guy in the original Broadway cast...
i love that johnny depp sounds a little like his other character sweeny todd which is one of my favorites
When he howled I jumped out of bed cause I thought a wolf was near me ! xD
that is so funny
Holy shit so funny
I understand you wtf XD
Love Johnny Depp. Nice voice!
Sweeney Todd the furry.
I'll... I'll take my leave now.
I hate how true this is
I- my captain jack sparrow phase is screaming right now- all I wanted was just to get some inspo for an art project 🤣😭
Johnny depp: HELLO LiTTLE GIRL. Me: hewo.
H
I
I adore this song sooo much but it's so rapey!
Batgirl917 that's sorta the point
Batgirl917 I don't care if this song is rapey or not. I love it anyway!

Saw my school's production of into the woods, it was this good. Not even kidding.

I'm getting ready for an audition and Into the Woods is the play, so thanks for this.
How did it go
@@bellanewton6125 I got the part as cinderella's dad, was a really fun production. I have fond memories of it.
My daughter won't even watch this anymore because of this scene! Makes her skin crawl!
There's no possible way to describe what you feel...when your talking to your meal...
Johnny played the part of the Wolf perfectly as he does all his characters!! #JusticeForJohnnyDepp
My favorite of all the songs in this movie ^^
For the first 38 seconds of this track, Johnny Depp sounded a bit like Bowie.
Aight I’m playing this dude in my school musical and I’m taking mad notes rn
"lOoK wHaT YoU'rE iGnOrInG"
*Sweeney Todd vibes intensify*
Only Johnny Depp can play roles like this!

+Lena Bean now that I think about it it is true
Hey, so I'm not alone on this one.

This was my favorite song when this movie first came out. Now I'm like, "What the fuck me?"
This is my Third Fav Song from 'Into the woods' its just so amazing that Into the woods has Breathtaking singers . THERE.SONGS.ARE.AMAZING!
***** ''Your Fault''
I had no idea Johnny could sing.
You should listen to Sweeney todd if you like this
