Kannibal Kapers

Kannibal Kapers is a 1935 short animated film by Columbia Pictures featuring the comic strip character Krazy Kat.

Krazy ends up falling into a tree where a spidermonkey was resting, the spider monkey catches Krazy from behind and, confused, he accidentally ends up pulling a leaf that was holding him and made him fall on a platter which is then carried away by a cannibal chef.

To treat the cannibal couple for sparing his life, Krazy decides to entertain them by dancing and being the conductor of their orchestra.

National Exhibitor (Jan 3, 1936): "Krazy, as a castaway, lands on an island inhabited by savages who run a night club, "Coconut Grove".

In the absence of any interesting plot Mintz has savages run through various dance forms and the hot-cha orchestra displays the versatility with instruments that only a cartoon will allow.
