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.

Hair High (2004)
An animated film by Bill Plympton.
A new kid at school offends the popular jock who sentences him to being his girlfriend's slave. The new kid and girlfriend fall in love.
I tried to look this up on Wikipedia. What a joke! Since congress is considering internet censorship, Wikipedia has decided to beat them to the punch and shut down on their own for a day. How stupid!
I really like Bill Plympton's animation style. He over exaggerates things beyond the realms of absurdity into the grotesque. The plot and characters were stereotypical, but in Plympton's style, that doesn't matter. I'm rating this best because Plympton is just that awesome.
