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.

The Lord of the Rings (1978)
An animated fantasy directed by Ralph Bakshi.
A mixed group of adventurers embark on a quest to destroy an evil ring.
Bakshi and rotoscoping go together very well and Tolkien helps too, but this film is incredibly long and gets boring. Another video technique used by Ralph Bakshi in this film is called posterization, but I was unable to find an adequate definition. I'm rating this adequate because it's cool, but long and a little boring.
