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.

Watership Down (1978)
An animated adventure by Martin Rosen.
Following the advice of a young visionary, a small group of rabbits leave their home and try to form a new one far away. They run into a large group of rabbits in a totalitarian society. The tyrant of this civilization decides that the heroes are enemies.
I was reminded of human world war 2 stories when watching this. The political themes are very similar. Overall, the plot was decent, but the characters were difficult to pick out, all being rabbits. The animation style was representative of the time it was made, with a mostly realistic look, but some stylized scenes. I'm rating this adequate.
