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.

Allegro Non Troppo (1976)
An animated musical by Bruno Bozetto.
A conductor, animator, and orchestra assemble to create an Italian Fantasia.
The '70s style of animation is a little like Ralph Bakshi's work, but not quite as good. I didn't get any subtitles, so when the actors are talking in the live action parts I had no clue what they were saying. There was a lot of physical comedy and most of it was animations with music, so subtitles aren't absolutely necessary. I'm rating this adequate because it was cool, but not exactly Bakshi.
