Cannibal Capers is a Silly Symphonies animated Disney short film. It was released in 1930.[1]
Plot
The film begins with a group of cannibals gathering together for a tribal dance. The dance is later interrupted by a fierce lion who engages in a silly chase with one of the cannibals. The film ends with all of the cannibals surrounding the hysterical lion.[2]
Reception
The Film Daily (July 13, 1930): "One of Walt Disney's best Silly Symphonies to date. After the little band of cannibals have disported awhile in highly amusing fashion, a ferocious lion turns up and the whole gang takes to its heels. The cannibals' intended victim, however, jumps out of the boiling pot and gives the lion the run-around, winding up by getting hold of the lion's false teeth and using them to scare the jungle beast out of his skin."[3]
Billboard (July 19, 1930): "Plenty of laughs to this animated cartoon of the Walt Disney Silly Symphony series. The conveying of numerous byplays sparkling with originality and cleverness, is a big factor in mirth producing, tho there's no overlooking the skillful animation... Strongest risibility tickler is the battle between a lion and the cannibals. Lion first chases the black-skin around, but the worm turns and the fellow has the battle won. Book this to give your audience laughs."[4]
Home media
The short was released on December 19, 2006, on Walt Disney Treasures: More Silly Symphonies, Volume Two[1] in the "From the Vault" section, because of the depiction of African natives.[5]
