Nice trick, aesthetically, but horrible for anything else. Drawing stutters on both FF 39 and Chrome on an i5 system. Breaks the scroll wheel (I had to use page up/down or the scroll bar). Basically impossible to navigate accurately to anything.

A gimmick, of the same kind I hate flash for.

There is a lot of people who would like this.

Purpose of such a tunneled scroll isn't navigation in the traditional sense. It's rather a visual drive-through between two points where the artist gets to introduce the characters of her animation. In a sort of gallery.

Like billboards on either side when you're on the highway.

IMHO it does what it is supposed to do. Works for the artist. And that is great!
