Ursula and Princess Jasmine tried to get their Kardashian on, and they're in good company: Apparently Cinderella's evil stepsisters and wicked stepmother also got their inspiration from Kim, Kourtney and Khloé!

At least, that's what Into the Woods star Christine Baranski said earlier this year, telling the Daily News, "The stepfamily is musicalized and we conceived of them, of course, as the fairy-tale Kardashians."

"They have a lot of money, the taste is over-the-top and they're ambitious and clawing and would have their own reality show if they could," she clarified. "You'll feel who these people are in terms of contemporary culture. It was great fun to do."
