Cannibal! The Musical is an American musical film that Trey Parker and Matt Stone during her studies at the University of Colorado in Boulder wrote and shot.

The film 's black humor is loosely based on the true story of Alfred Packers, America's only convicted cannibal, in particular its journey from Utah to Colorado, on which his five travel companions (Shannon Bell, George Noon, James Humphrey, Israel Swan and Frank Miller) to death came and were also eaten part. Parker plays the role of Packer, his staffer Matt Stone that of James Humphrey and experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage George Noons father.

In contrast to the black humor of the musicals are his merry songs, all composed by Parker, including "Let's Build a Snowman ", " On Top of You ", "Hang the Bastard" and " Shpadoinkle ". The latter is obviously a parody of the song " Oh, What a Beautiful Morning" from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical Oklahoma!

The film was originally in 1993, "Alfred Packer: The Musical " hot, was not published until 1996. When the Troma Studios took up the film in their program, they called him in " Cannibal! The Musical " to, because they feared that not enough people would know outside of Colorado, who was Alfred Packer. Parker and Stone satirical cartoon South Park premiered a year later.
