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.

Coonskin (1975)
A crime film by Ralph Bakshi.
A pair of black prisoners plan an escape and their black friends plan to pick them up. The older of the prisoners tells the younger a story while they wait.
There were a few intentional similarities between this and Song of the South. What I'm talking about is the briar patch sequence with the window and the garbage can and the tar baby sequence at the boxing match. Again Bakshi proves himself as the master of mating live action and cartoon. This time, it's in abrupt changes between the 2 media, instead of rotoscoping. If you remember correctly, Ralph Bakshi can do no wrong, so I'm rating this awesome.
