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.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971)
A musical comedic fantasy by the Disney corporation, directed by Robert Stevenson, starring Angela Lansbury.
An apprentice witch is forced to adopt 3 children. When they find out about her, she gives them a magical transportation device to keep them quiet about her status. They use the transportation item together and go on a fantastic adventure.
This is Disney in the raw. They are telling us that there are secret things hidden in plain sight. The youngest child carries a "fictional" picture book that contains everything that they need to know on their adventure. How much more obvious can it get? The words taunting and mocking come to mind. The plot and characters were good. The style was good, but the production value was horrible. I'm rating this good for being such an obvious clue to the world puzzle.
