Anna Kendrick stopped by last night's Seth Meyers and spoke to the host about her recent trip to the Prospect Park Zoo and her new love of red pandas. Later, the actress talks about her new film INTO THE WOODS and working with legendary composer Stephen Sondheim. Check out the appearance below!

Kendrick is known for her roles in such films as The Company You Keep, End of Watch, The Twilight Saga, Scott Pilgrim Saves the World, ParaNorman and 50/50. In 2010, Kendrick starred opposite George Clooney and Jason Bateman in the film Up in the Air, which earned her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination.

Kendrick can currently be seen as Cinderella in the big-screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods. An accomplished theater veteran, Kendrick made her Broadway debut in the 1997 production of High Society, for which she received a Tony Award nomination. Kendrick's additional theater work includes A Little Night Music, My Favorite Broadway/The Leading Ladies: Live at Carnegie Hall and Broadway workshops of Jane Eyre and The Little Princess. Earlier this year, Kendrick's hit song "Cups (When I'm Gone)," from THE PITCH Perfect soundtrack, climbed into to the Top 10 on Billboard's Adult Pop Song chart.
