B.     Thesis – The movie shows both real and animated scenes which somewhat unrealistically relating with eachother.

E.     There is no apex

D.    Stan lands safely on the stretcher after falling from about 50 feet in the air

Conclusion

A.     Many laws of physics are broken in this film. 

B.   Given, there is no possible way humans can have physical contact with an animation, but the film gives the audience a sense of how it would be.
