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.

Animal Farm (1954)
An animated drama by John Halas and Joy Batchelor.
The animals of a farm overthrow the human farmer and run it themselves. When the pigs take over, the other animals start to question if this new leadership is the same as the old.
This story is one that I've heard compared to the way things have worked in the history of the real world. Under pig rule, all of the ingredients are there: lies, a class system, a military police force... Sounds like the way that the United States is run these days. I'm rating this good for being politically accurate.
