I must have watched this film a dozen times in elementary school. Now if I could just find the whole thing on DVD!

Yup, I remember that one, though more from junior high than elementary school. The allegorical ping-pong ball is the only sustained sequence that sticks with me, though.

The line that always stuck in my mind was "Allah be praised, I've invented the zero!" "What was that?" "Nothing, nothing."

"Bronze!"
"IRON!"

I've never seen it, but it's funny ^^ Especially the zero = nothing, I agree!
