Working almost entirely in After Effects, we created and animated 2D versions of the main characters from the movie placing them into 3D(2.5D) environments.

The design and animation style was meant to feel like "vintage" cut-out animation like the old animated oddity "Twice Upon a Time". We even removed smooth inbetweening in some places to give it a more old-school stop-motion cut-out look.

See the whole 2.5 minute credit sequence with a full credit list @ Club Cocoanut Animation now!

BTW, your style of animation is outstanding. The quality just blows me away.

Take care!
