More like solid works animation overlaid on video, no green screen necessary. Also possibly stop motion based on the grainy video and the Asian logo top right. I've seen stuff like this done on Adobe AE (After Effects) which can combine a lot of these techniques and file types. Check out the video on that page and the "Video & Audio" for what's possible.

My bad...Now those appear to be real as the sounds sync with the motions...and the walking ones are impressive.

While I found the transformation of the car cute. But to me it is a little more than a mechanical mobile too large to hang above a babies crib.
Want to make in impressive, instead of having mechanical hydraulically operated static display witht eh sheet metal of a car on it drive the thing on stage then transform it into whatever. At least the guys with the low riders or jumping cars or the pickups with their spinning beds are all vehicles thatcan at least be driven as impractical as the may be They're still a real vehicle
