Mixing (what looks like) authentic home movie footage with psychedelic animation, on-screen text (redacted and scratched), public Q&As, bookish chapter headings, interrogative narration and an entire short film (How Would You Feel?), which is wound, rewound, screened, discussed, reinvented and dismissed within the course of the main feature, this is mind-boggling fare indeed.
It's a colourful, character-based sequencer for kids: they drag coloured shapes into place on a timeline to trigger different sounds – and animations for the animals on-screen.

Spoken words and animation enables deeper learning than animation and on-screen text (Mayer 2001 134).
This "virtual" organ is the work of the Cardiome Project, a consortium of bioengineers, physiologists and computer scientists who are knitting together the complex anatomy, mechanics and electro-physiology of the heart into an interactive model.Unlike video or animation, the on-screen organ is not simply a picture of a heart.
Instead, the director, Edgar Wright, films these confrontations as implausible, impossible blends of live action and video games — just as he converts many of the film's intimate, naturalistic moments into comic-book versions of themselves (complete with animations of on-screen onomatopoeias and verbal emoticons).
