Replacement animation is a form of stop motion. But instead of making one puppet that you put through its paces, you make pre-sculpted elements that you swap in and out. For example if you watch closely, you can see that the little impact cloud-puffs are a animated with a set of 5 little sets of sculpted white blobs on very thin wires.

It takes a while to create all the stop-motion puppets and other elements for replacement animation. But once you do it, the animation goes fast. This video is intended for adult collectors and artists.
