- A key role in the original musical is the "narrator". Jeremy Irons, Christopher Plummer, Jeffrey Rush, Michael Caine, Alan Rickman, etc. have been considered for acting. Later this role was removed from the script.
- Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michelle Pfeiffer, Penelope Cruz, Idina Menzel, Kate Winslet, Nicole Kidman, Sissy Spike have all hoped Acting in the role of "witch".
- The film is the first time Disney has adapted a stage play or musical from Broadway.
- Hollywood has been trying to put "Magic Black Forest" on the screen. In 1994, Robin Williams, Gotti Han and Cher are expected to star, and then Columbia plans to remake it, starring Bill Kristol, Meg Ryan and Susan Sarandon.
- Matthew Broderick, John C. Nellie, Neil Patrick Harris, Colin Firth and Jim Carey have all been candidates for "The Baker."
- British child star Sophia Grace Brownlee was originally scheduled to star in "Little Red Riding Hood", but she was replaced by 2-year-old Lila Crawford a week before the filming started, who was 12 years old when she starred.
- The plot of the movie is basically faithful to the stage play. The change lies in the removal of the "narrator" and the use of the voice-over of the "baker" throughout the film. Secondly, the "mysterious man" will not appear in the movie version. Streep's "Witch" is equivalent to the combination of the two roles of the witch and the mysterious man in the musical.

- Rob Marshall once invited Emma Stone to play "Cinderella", but the latter politely declined because she was worried that her voice was inappropriate. She joked that she is more suitable to play "Jack".

- With a budget of only US$50 million, Rob Marshall had to give up the idea of making it into 3D.
- Alan Cumming was expected to star in "Big Bad Wolf."

Four classic Grimm's fairy tales are combined into one furnace, and then break the "format" of fairy tales and add the "unsatisfactory" component of the adult world. It can't be said that there is no creativity, but after watching the whole film, I still feel awkward, not as real as fairy tales Looks good. Rob Marshall is the master of song and dance/music films, but the song and dance/music of this film is only normal, and there is no greatness.

The goodness depends on the original musical, right? The first four fairy tales are told intact and slightly deconstructed. The second half of the story enters the topic. Although it is still the mainstream American values, it depends on the final four-line combination plus your fault. The output of the section is really easy to accept. Aunt Mei's nomination is still meaningful, and she is the only one who is acting seriously, which is really touching.
