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.

James and the Giant Peach (1996)
A fantasy directed by Henry Selick, produced by Tim Burton, based on a book by Roald Dahl.
A boy who lives with his abusive aunts receives magical ingredients from an unidentified man. When the ingredients get on a tree, it grows a giant peach which the boy rides away on with some insect friends.
The plot was decent, but the characters were stereotypical. I liked the animation style and the pace was alright. I'm doing short reviews because I'm sick, so this one gets adequate.
