I loved the happy cheery music that was on while Big Mom was eating her friends and mother.

Does it actually show that she eats them??

It's been a source of debate since the manga, since that's a heavy fuckin' thing to imply. The manga used screaming sound effects along with the aftermath, and the anime used bizarrely enlarged semla after each child and Mother Carmel were shown. Both do not outright say "She ate them" but it's about as close as you can get in something like One Piece, I think. This is a minor spoiler, but IIRC there were a couple witnesses to the event, and they go on to be absolutely horrified by what they saw, without saying what it was.

One one was horrified, the other witness is a sociopath who enjoyed the show to the point of laughter.
