easiest way to make animation from video?

Something similar to the movie waking life; a software to transform
shot footage into animation.

Any ideas?

You won't find any magic apps. Those effects were very labor intensive.
I know of some AE plug in's that will assist, but even then, to get any
variation across the frame you will have do combine greescreen effects
and some very detailed masks.

So, short answer yes. Long answer is that it take lots of work.
