Russell,

Vegas itself can composite in the little cartoon clips, using an alpha channel combined with a Picture-in-Picture effect. In order to actually create the cartoons you will need some special software. Any credible 3D program could do it, by using a Cel Shader. There is also software for creating 2D animations. For example, the upcoming LivingCels software from Creature House. Click on this link:

Another approach would be to use Macromedia's Flash to create Flash animations and then use those as your little inset cartoons.
