The individual works are then stitched into the original order and published on the internet as a completed collaboration.
This differs from a shot-for-shot recreation, as the goal of a reanimate is to display each of the independent animators' unique stylings rather than to produce a unified or identical result.
Multiple collaborations focus on media made a decade or more prior that receives renewed interest due to internet memes, nostalgia, or the death of a voice actor.
As they are often non-profit tributes to an existing work, animators expect to receive little or no profit.
