A different angle...

This video is a development from a flip sketchbook which I came across on Youtube, instead of having the character staying in one place at at, the artist has spread the pages out and created a flat sketchbook with a map of which creates a story.

The drawings in an animation don't necessarily have to be detailed extravagant drawings. Simple stick men can communicate the message all the same. Plus there is something quirky about the use of stick men, the fact that they have no 3D form and they are lifeless when just drawn in one frame.
