Wow, this *is* frustrating Eric, because it such a neat animated clip.
Have you noticed that the issue with the lines seem to diminish
significantly once your camera is "outside" of the barn studio?
Perhaps that may offer a hint.
Also, have you checked the anti-aliasing settings yet? And have you
tried a bit of a blur of any kind to blur the line edges to see if
that helps slightly?
It almost seems to me that you may need to turn various objects off
and on and do some test renders to see what may be causing this
problem. The bookcase seems to be the biggest culprit and may be a
large contributor to the problem. But I am noticing that everything
with a *sharp* edge seems to be generating these lines, not those
object with curves or chamfered edges. Digital edges are always
unnaturally razor-sharp. Perhaps slightly beveling/chamfering edges
on the bookcase and any other sharp-edged objects may help.
Perhaps the length of lines setting in NPR needs to be adjusted
(turned down)?
Also, have you tried Toon Pro! by DCG? That may help you out in this
case.

Well, I hope you can get your problem solved because it is a really
neat animated clip.
Please keep in touch re: the progress and any resolutions you may come
up with so we can learn as well.
Cheers.
