I'm not actually sure what the point of its creation was. If I had to guess I'd suggest it was to test how emotive characters could be in realtime. It's inclusion in the extras was at Stew's request, because he loves it, but it actually has a semi-important place in the history of Oddworld fandom. It was our very first ever glimpse of Stranger after years of silence from OWI. And I hated it. To go from the fantastic creatures and realms of the Abe and Munch games to fat chickens in dungarees. It was a time of much fretting, as you'll be able to see if you start snooping though post of the time.
So that's the story behind it from a fan perspective.
