In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

alice (1988)
the alice in wonderland story using stop motion animation by jan svankmajer
the video was a little dark and the sound effects were loud and grating on my ears. it also looked very dirty (for lack of any other suitable word). some of the characters looked like they had been rotting in someone's attic for a few decades and the tarts that alice eats looked like they were the last made by some old woman before she died.
check out: "all the animals" that get out of the carridge and the caterpillar.
it sure was weird enough for me. if you're looking for the opposite of the disney version, you've found it! I'll say it's o.k. if you're into stop motion animation, it's definitely worth seeing, but nothing fantastic.
