Animal Crackers/Trivia

• Adaptation Sequence: From the play to the movie.
• Missing Episode: This became a hard-to-find rarity in the Marx Brothers' repertoire when Paramount failed to renew the copyright for film's soundtrack, which reverted to the songwriters of the original play (the picture rights, however, did get renewed). It became available again after a fan campaign (which Groucho Marx himself joined in) convinced Universal Pictures (who, by then, had owned Paramount's pre-1950 sound film library) to re-release the film in 1974, and it wasn't shown on television until CBS broadcast the film in 1980.
