Animal Crackers ( 1930) is the second and one of the Marx Brothers' most beloved and oft-quoted movies.

The film stars Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, Harpo Marx, Zeppo Marx, Lillian Roth , and Margaret Dumont. It is directed by Victor Heerman and adapted from a successful 1928 Broadway play by George S. Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind also starring the Marx Brothers and Margaret Dumont.

It contains Groucho's signature song, "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" and two of Groucho's funniest quips:

Last night I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I dunno.
We took some pictures of the native girls, but they're not developed yet. We're going back next year, when they're more developed.

It also has one of the funniest Chico-Harpo scenes in which Chico wants a flashlight ("flash") and Harpo produces from his bottomless coat and pants a "fish," a "flask," etc.
