Following yesterday's first look photos, Disney has released the first trailer for Rob Marshall's upcoming fairy tale musical "Into the Woods" which hits this Christmas.

Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, Emily Blunt, Chris Pine, Anna Kendrick, Christine Baranski, James Corden and more star in this mashup of Brothers Grimm fairy tales characters and based on the famed play by Stephen Sondheim.

Unfortunately the studio is pulling a trick all too common with movie musical trailers - they've cut it so the clips contain no hint of singing and thus differentiating it from various other films of the genre (ala "Maleficent," "Jack the Giant Slayer," "Snow White and the Huntsman").

The trailer is up at Apple Trailers.
