Try some of these & see if they help. You'll probably find that you do something better if you just muck around with a few of these. 

 

Think there's some liquid morphing:

Take a look at CC blobylise - a few vids on youtube. Don't think they are using this on the animation you've posted, but you could probably get some similarish effects out of it. 

 

Also my guess is you'd want to look at this as well.

Try mixing in the above suggestion with on of AE's particle effects (particle world etc).

 

You'd probably also get some cool results adding some turbulent displace on. 

 

Finally, bet you £1m whoever has done this has used a plugin of some sort. It's not a very current animation & lot's of people were doing these 2/3 years ago.  hence bet it's been Envato'd  / sold as a plugin.

    That kind of animation requires artistic ability, a good understanding of shape layers and shape layer animators, and a bunch of layers. I would put each dot that changes into another shape on one layer, then as the dots grow into other shapes you stack them up and blend them together. It's way too complex to give you a step-by-step in a single forum post. I don't know of a single specific tutorial that would take you through all the steps. There are some tools over at HTTP://aescripts.com that will help. 

     

    I will let you know if I stumble on some tutorials that might get you started.

      I'm not clear whjat specifically you expect. It's simply a lot of work to animate a ton of shapes. There are no simple answers to this sort of thing. It takes practice and experience to get the timing right and create interesting shapes, give or take mundane techniques like using mattes to create the illusion of liquid fills and so on. anyway, without seeing what you actually have nobody can advise on how to improve it, so for all intents and purposes show us a clip of animated GIF along with screenshots of your timelien and the keyframes, effect settings and whatever else you may use.
