South Park creators made a horrible west that fans should check

In 1992, when Trey Parker and Matt Stone were in the early 20’s and studied at the University of Colorado in Bowlder, they are known to have collected a very harsh (and joyfully obscene) Christmas name “The Spirit of Christmas”. It presents a fierce combat royal between the frost snowman and Jesus Christ, as evidenced by the quartet of unwanted young people. This led to the fact that Parker and Stone had collected 3-minute short activity, a faked trailer for a jokes called “Alferd Packer: The Musical”. As many can know, Alfer Packer is one of four people in American history who has been convicted of cannibalism. He confessed to eat his comrades to survive when they were lost in the mountains of Colorado in 1874. “Alfer Pker: Musical” was a gloriously tasteless reef in Packer crimes.

The reactions to the fake trailer were so positive that Parker and Stone were inspired to raise a modest amount of money – only $ 125,000 – and make a true function. Parker wrote, directed and starred in the film, “Songs” with rich Sanders. The stone was removed and made. Alferd Packer was shot dead in the actual hills and Colorado parks over the weekend and during the spring holidays. The scenes of the courtroom, for a certain authenticity, were filmed in the actual building of the court building, where in 1873 Packer was tried. The old western sets were only buildings in the Western Time Park Bakken Joe in the Canyon -City, Colorado. Parker and Stone do not require much.

The finished version of “Alferd Packer: Musical” debuted in Baulders, Colorado, Halloween in 1993. After all, Parker and Stone brought their finished movie to The notorious house of New -Jersey Slug threeAnd he finally received the midfield distributor in 1996. He was restored “Cannabal!”.

It’s wild and cheap … And really pretty.

Despite the fact that “cannibal! Musical” focuses on Alferd Packer, the actual cannibalism remains to the disappointing minimum. The film is really open with the dramatic “Rest” cannibalism of the poker, as provided by the prosecutor, and the audience watches the poker (Parker, attributing Juan Schwartz), joyfully cutting and devouring a number of screams, victims of bleeding. More noticeable-changing music numbers, including “O, what a wonderful morning” is the example, opening the song “Shpadoinkle”. The opening of the reef “Shpadoinkle” was eventually used as music for the Vanity’s Parker’s and Conge’s Company Braniff card. You can also be singing the disgusting “Let’s build a snowman” when leaving, considering that this is the highest song “Do you want to build a snowman?” From “frozen”.

There is also an underwater bitterness to “Cannibal!” This Parker confessed that it was completely intentional. Parker just recently crashed with his groom, who discovered the novel she had shortly before the scheduled wedding date. Parker decided to call the horse Alferd Pocker Liana after it (and Mom Chartman’s character on South Park). There were some talks about how Alfer was in love with his horse, and how the horse was now a non -laid, running with another racer. Alfard couldn’t believe it. Parker talks about his break on the DVD movie comments (exhibited as a “Drunk Director Comment”), which ends sharply when it becomes too drunk and decides to leave the recording studio.

“Cannabal! Musical” was most likely raised in 1996, because Matt Stone and Tre Parker reached the level of underground glory due to the 1995 redox “The Spirit of Christmas”. Thanks to this short, Stone and Parker were now insignificant celebrities, and the three wise three to deprive their new status.

For those of us who studied at the college in the mid-1990s, we remember the rise of “Christmas Spirit” well, because it was one of the earliest videos to change the Internet. Annamed in 1995 was (relatively) weak than the 1992 version, but just like the small, and now the struggle between Santa Claus and Jesus was shown. The “Christmas Spirit” was held on Hollywood On the Bootleg VHS cassettes a few big stars (including George Clooney), and this allowed the pad and the parker put it in the series. “South Park” was taken away by Comedy Central in 1996, and for the first time she aired in 1997. The rest is a story.

Initially, the three did not distribute “Cannibal!” Very far and wide, but the company gave the Parker Moto push on VHS and DVD when “South Park” started to aired. The growth of new home videos allowed “Cannibal!” To finally discover the iconic audience, mostly college children who would gather to look at it. The film’s hooks began to make ammunition on the northern film, and it became a legal underground hit. College students started remodeling the film to the stage, and small unauthorized productions began to perform regularly. The actual base of the film is difficult to track, but it is convenient to assume that it has returned its budget for $ 125,000.

This is “cannibal!” Excellent art? Not quite. It is cheap and genjun, leaning on noble humor. Like many comedies of the former generation, some of its strokes grow old. But the film really gives a rush of small surrealists, which, I think, is craving a lot of children in college. It is still there, now available for transmission to Prime Video and Pauline. It is definitely worth a look.
