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 Storyteller series (1988)
A fantasy by Jim Henson.
A series of 23 minute episodes based on folk tales.
Jim Henson's puppets and costumes are the main attraction here. The good plots are thanks to old stories that are told using these creations. The original series is very good, but the Greek myths series is less than magical. For anyone who grew up with movies like The Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, you will like this as much as I do. I'm rating it good.
