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 Return of the King (1980)
An animated fantasy by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr.
This is the final part of the Tolkien series. It follows the style of The Hobbit, but uses more songs to convey the plot. My favorite is the song that the orcs sing while they march. The scope of the film is much grander than The Hobbit, but it doesn't get boring like The Lord of the Rings. This one only gets an awesome rating because it doesn't have that "first time magic" of The Hobbit.
