Roei, thanks for your reply. I have tried the Photoshop cell animation style, and I must admit it's trick. The most tricky part is having smooth animation (not all jumpy).

Bao plug in looks good, there's also this one:

this looks like either frame by frame a-la-cell animation in photoshop or other 2d animation App or by the looks of the whole animation this was done in a 3D app and later cartoon filtered to look more 2d-ish.

this doesn't mean you can't recreate some of this in Ae with shape strokes, using roughen edges to get a more sketchy appearance, and a trim path animation. but these won't be textured...

you can also try the new BAO BOA plugin that can distort layers along a path - a long awaited feature now available in Ae via this 3rd party plugin.
