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 Thief and the Cobbler (1995)
An animated feature film by Richard Williams.
A cobbler from the "golden city" fixes the princess' shoes and is sent on a mission to find a way to stop the invading army and restore the 3 golden balls to the top of a tower.
The audio was o.k. and the video was about 3/4ths finished. Some of the scenes deteriorated into pencil drawings.
check out: Animated Rube Goldberg machines.
I really like animation, so this was great for me. I didn't mind the incomplete sections at all. A lot of it was actually visually stunning and seemed like something I should have watched about 10 years ago when I would have been in a condition to appreciate it better. Obviously, I'm rating it good, but it's not for those who like the platinum plated shite of Hollywood.
