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 in Wonderland (1999)
A fantasy directed by Nick Willing, under Hallmark Entertainment, starring Whoopi Goldberg, Gene Wilder and Christopher Lloyd, with special effects by Jim Henson's creature shop.
A girl follows a rabbit into a fantasy world.
These people took the Alice in Wonderland story and threw it in a blender. Then Jim Henson puppets were added along with some digital effects. The outcome is a strange mix of crappiness and Henson style magic. The plot was a jumbled mess and the whole thing seemed forced. I'm rating it o.k. because I liked the Henson creatures, but everything else was terrible.
