DVD Reviews of Cannibal! The Musical: 13th Anniversary Edition
DVD Review: Great B-Movie cult classic, Shiny New Shpadoinkle Edition!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just recently bought the 13th Anniversary "shpadoinkle" edition of the movie. I now own both versions and, If you are a completist , then you have to get both versions because some of the special features from the one disc version are missing, most notably the beachside matt and trey interview is strangely absent on the new version.
This movie is great and starts Trey Parker's signature style of mixing comedy music and shock humor, but with a whole lot of heart. If you thought Transformers 2 was "awesome!" then dont watch this movie, you will hate it. This is one of those movies where you're either on the train or you arent and alot of people just wont "get" it or cant get past the low budget cheesiness of it all.
Some of the biggest laughs in the movie come from Matt Stone. The worst acting actually comes from Trey Parker, but I am willing to forgive it because, its friggin trey parker! He's just really stiff the whole time. His acting got much better in Orgazmo, and he hit his stride in Baseketball. I really wish Matt and Trey had done more live action stuff together, but... oh well, we've got 13 seasons of South Park, so, I owe alot of laughs to these guys.
Also, the picture quality is much better in the "shpadoinkle" edition. I dont think that they remastered it or anything, I think it is just less compressed. You can actually see the grain of the 16mm film as opposed to digital artifact blur like the one disc version. Also, all of the giant breast laden "troma" features have been removed for this new version of the DVD, making it more PG-13 and less of a big plug for Lloyd Kaufman.
I'm not a fan of Troma in general, just this movie. This movie is REALLY mild compared to other troma flicks. I would give this film a hard PG-13 or a light R rating. There isnt any nudity, minimal swearing and not really that much cannibalism. The most disturbing part of the whole 2 disc set is the vomit inducing trailer for Poultrygeist that comes on before the movie.
LETS BUILD A SNOWMAN!
Description of Cannibal! The Musical: 13th Anniversary Edition
Before there was South Park, there was Trey Parker's macabre musical comedy masterpiece Cannibal the Musical! Based on the legend of Colorado Cannibal Alferd Packer, Cannibal the Musical tells Packer's version of what really happened when he and a group of gold diggers embarked on their fateful trip into the Rocky Mountains. Gruesomely gory, savagely satirical and painfully funny, Cannibal the Musical, which also stars South Park s co-creator Matt Stone, stands as a predecessor to what would come next for Parker and Stone, and features several in-jokes that would become part of the South Park legacy! Cannibal the Musical has become a worldwide cult sensation to rival The Rocky Horror Picture Show, inspiring stage revivals and sing-along screenings all over the world!This 2-Disc Special Anniversary Edition contains over an hour of new, in depth interviews with Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Jason McHugh, two full-length commentary tracks including the infamous 'Inebriated' commentary track, never-before-seen deleted scenes, production stills, and much more!
Alferd Packer was the only man in the United States ever convicted of cannibalism--what better hero for fellow Coloradan and future South Park creator Trey Parker to celebrate in music? Blue-eyed and boyish Parker was still in college when he wrote, directed, composed the songs for, and took the starring role as the innocent young Packer in this film, giving a gee- whiz performance as an ambitious pioneer who joins an ill-fated trek west that ends up stranded in the mountains. At times resembling a perverse community theater parody of Rodgers and Hammerstein ("My heart's as full as a baked po-ta-to!"), Parker bounces back and forth between cheery production numbers and goony songs ("Let's build a snowman," sings one starving-mad hiker) and grotesque gore (bloody body parts, festering sores, human hors d'oeuvres). It lacks in style and consistency and the juvenile gags and fart jokes wear thin over the course of a feature film, but Parker's sheer energy and inventiveness carry the overlong picture to a rousing conclusion. Regular Parker collaborators Matt Stone and Dian Bachar costar in this tuneful barbecue. --Sean Axmaker
