Cannibal! The Musical
1993 Directed by Trey Parker
Synopsis
Heading through Colorado Territory in search of gold and women, Alferd Packer and his group of bemused companions find themselves lost, starving and musically inspired by the obstacles they confront along the way, including a die-hard Confederate cyclops, a trio of surly trappers, a tribe of Japanese-speaking "Indians," and ultimately, each other.

I never knew that the two South Park guys got their start with a Troma production. After Lloyd Kaufman saw their fake trailer he gave them some cash to make the film. Much like he did with my heroes Astron-6 with their Father's Day. We won't talk about what happened after there.
Though clearly still honing their comedy craft, this is a weirdly delightful ball of oddness. A couple of jaunty little numbers enliven a frankly ludicrous plot, but I can't deny I didn't laugh and it wasn't fun. More than just a curio piece reserved just for existing fans.

As great as this movie is, it may be the only movie that's not as good as its audio commentary.

"Shpadoinkle" is an insanely catchy song, but otherwise this isn't as good as I remembered it being. Mind you, I reckon that's partly because Trey Parker's satirical talent has come on a long way in the last 20 years, meaning that this feels lacking, as I'm sure do lots of early episodes of South Park.
Basically, it's okay, but it has nothing on Parker's subsequent projects. (What exactly does Matt Stone contribute to this supposed partnership anyway?)
