Summary: A sweet musical from the guys who give us South Park
Review: "Cannibal", despite the infrequent gory bits, is actually a goofy, slightly sweet musical. Although there are some pretty hilarious and rude gags, overall, "Cannibal!" is a very nice movie, a Troma movie you can see with your girlfriend.
Admittedly, it's not a professional production in any way, shape, or form, although Parker's energy level and willingness to play with the obvious anachronisms make the amateur production values part of the gag. Parker seems more comfortable with animation than live action (behold the "South Park" movie), but he does a decent job here.
Where this movie really stands out is the sound; the DVD has Parker's approved sound mix and he crams it with gags. You have to pay close attention with ears and eyes to catch everything (which you won't, at least not the first time around), for which Parker deserves kudos.
There are only two parts of the DVD that bug me; one, the extras have more to do with Troma than with Cannibal, although we do get clips from the Cannibal stage show and an audio commentary that's a riot, and the Troma Intelligence Test is pretty amusing. Two, if you've seen the movie on Cinemax or before Parker and Stone took off, then you know there's a short deleted sequence, the "Don't Be Stupid" song. It's been axed from this print of the movie, and it's nowhere to be found on the disc. This is annoying and if there's an explanation for this unnecessary edit, I haven't found it.
But that doesn't reduce the entertainment value. This movie is a great comedy, even if you aren't a Troma or South Park fan. Well worth your cash.

Summary: Braindead fun for the mentally challenged
Review: A group of miners get lost in the Rocky Mountains and have to resort to cannibalism to stay alive. The only surviver is then accused of murdering his companions and sentanced to death. Outrageously funny and frighteningly enjoyable horror/comedy with clever musical numbers and even some educational facts (parish the thought). The best has to be "Let's Build a Snowman". From the Creators of South Park.

Summary: Correction
Review: A Viewer From Atlanta, Georgia-The South Park TV show recycles music from this movie, not the other way around. Actually, the only thing you could be thinking of is the "Braniff" music, which is a snippet from Cannibal's theme song ("Sky is Blue"). Parker obviously included it there as an ode to his first success.

Summary: A Rough Start
Review: As an enormous fan of Trey and Matt's work from Orgazmo, to Basketball, to South Park, I can't say I was disappointed with this movie, but I can't say I was satisfied either. There are a few amusing moments. The humor is very much that unique, quasi-satirical comedy that Trey and Matt are know for. The problem is that they had yet to perfect it when this movie was made. If you keep in mind that this was a very early attempt a movie-making for two hilarious individuals, you'll feel content. Don't expect much more. If they could edit 30min out of this movie it would be infinitely more entertaining. As it stands, it seems to run on for days.

Summary: Cannibal! The Musical (1996)
Review: Brought to you by the zanies behind the "South Park" craze (Trey Parker and Matt Stone), this tongue-in-cheek pastiche of musicals is reportedly based on a true incident. Parker plays the leader of an expedition of miners trying to make it to Colorado's gold fields. But the ill-fated expedition runs into trouble, not the least of which is ravenous hunger pangs. ...
Rated R For comic gore/violence and some language

Summary: Alferd Packer was framed
Review: Building Snowmen never was better, and starving travelers on their way to infinite wealth end up doing the unthinkable, eating eachother while doing it in song! Trey Parker, Matt Stone, these two names always are included in the funniest of movies. Beware, not for the faint at heart. Sick Sick Sick comedy :)
