You know what this reminded me of? A senior project. As in, a student has majored in film at college, specializing in animation. As part of the student's senior project, they have to create a short film that incorporated ten different, distinct animation techniques. As a result, you end up with a hodge-podge mix of different styles, using all sorts of materials. The string that ties it all together is an English word, which an animated representation is shown. The last letter is then used to form the next word - rinse,lather, repeat. The problem is, there's absolutely no connection between one word to the next. It's as if they were pulled out of a hat at random. No theme runs through this, it just jumps from one short claymation animated bit, to puppets, to moving shapes, to whatever is next. No reason, no point.
