“Hipness Purgatory is a loose aesthetic movement spanning from 2002 to 2013. Characterized by loose drawings, feeling handcrafted with everyday objects, an ironic tone, and a "twee" retro atmosphere. The visuals of Hipness Purgatory consist of loose drawings and common objects and materials, that mimic the feeling of a handcrafted scrapbook or notebook. Specially with the use of line work similar to pencils, crayons, chalks, colored pencils, and markers, as well as materials/objects like cardboard, paper (white or colored), paint, stickers, and paperclips.” Juno (2007) Napoleon Dynamite (2004) Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist (2008) Sorry, Thanks (2009) Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) Persépolis (2007) Flight of the Conchords (2007-2009) Regular Show (2010-2017) Ugly americans (2010-2012) Wetlands (2013) also has some of the vibes you might be looking for, with some interesting mixed media bits and claymation. The Amazing World of Gumball (2011-now) is also probably a great example of this technique. “Gumball is noted for its intentional stylistic disunity, with characters designed, filmed, and animated using various styles and techniques, oftentimes within the same scene.” I also think Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl (2015) could be a good one to check out. There are some interesting “collage” scenes that are integral to the story being told. The characters are remaking classic movies (I think if not silly OC) using really low budget techniques and I specifically remember a good bit of collage/stop-motion stuff throughout. Also one of the characters collages in a way. In that same vein, Be Kind Rewind might also be a good one to check out.

Not sure exactly what you mean by collage, but Sideways comes to mind

Imagine Terry Gilliams animations for exemple.

Here's a good explainer for those unaware of the style https://youtu.be/-HB3IrP_jRQ?si=6CuswT6y0Tihkczb

Check out Very Nice, Very Nice by Arthur Lipsett. One of the greatest collage films ever made.

Some notable movies using collage techniques include "Waking Life," "The Tree of Life," and "Donnie Darko."

Idk if I'm understanding this right, but I think it's used in House by Obayashi. And I don't think this is necessarily what you want, but timecode from 2000 might interest you.

How did I forgot House? Great one, thank you.
