Cannibal! aka Alferd Packer: The Musical
This movie struck me at first as kind of sweet – its production values are as questionable as Timothy Hines’ “War of the Worlds”, its score horrifically MIDI sound module-ish, its gore effects like something out of early Peter Jackson – but in the end I was laughing pretty loud, it’s possibly the purest Trey Parker that exists. I’ll definitely watch it again.

[...] Come back Hoodwinked!, all is forgiven! Within 10 minutes of this one – which I was actually looking forward to seeing – I had taken back all the problems I had with the ‘updating’ work in the latest animated adaptation of the story. First point: if you’re gonna make a musical anything, don’t use a midi sound module in place of an orchestra – especially if you’re in the 21st century. Nothing infuriates me more than bad music in a movie, and if it’s a musical, well, nuff said. Seriously, musical aside, the music here is horrendously tacky. Only one movie I can think of has got away with dodgy midi-ish sound – and that’s Trey Parker’s Cannibal: The Musical, and the reasoning there is self-explanatory. [...]
