I talked to the technical director of the project, Carlos González Morcillo, who explained how they used Blender.

While some of you may be familiar with these animations, (one was nominated for the 2007 Suzanne awards) they are some excellent examples of cutout animation done utilizing Blender and GIMP. And well worth spotlighting. See a couple videos embedded after the cut and a link to more at their Vimeo gallery.
You can for more info about the artists at their blog here.

Petri Rantanen aka Falgor of Finland, a freelance animation artist, made three commercials , one for TV and the internet, and the other for showing in clubs. They where made with Blender and rendered in Yafray. No other software was used for the animation and rendering (I did use Renoise for sound editing).
Do you remember Hangar No.5? This short movie uses Blender for all 3d animation and effects. A few weeks ago Bart wrote an article about the trailer and release of the movie.
