Plot
After another one of Eric Cartman's schemes causes the town to be encased and locked away from the world, the entire town turns on the four boys, leaving Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny to flee the locked-down town and start a new life - in Aspen.

Trivia

 * Plans for a second South Park movie originated back in 2000 after the commercial and critical success of Bigger, Longer and Uncut. Trey Parker and Matt Stone originally envisioned it as a Coon & Friends movie.
 * The film has a noticably different visual style from the show, with more fluid movements and smoother animation.
 * Unlike the first film, this film is not a musical. This is because Parker and Stone wanted to focus on the development of Cartman rather than the music.
 * Kenny's Death: Kenny falls off a cliff and impales himself during a mid-credits scene.
 * Unlike the first film where the focus was mostly put on Stan's pursuit to win over Wendy, this movie puts the primary focus on Cartman's development as a character and his relationship with his friends.
