yeah, motion mixer works a lot like adobe video editing software (if your familiar with that).
You have multiple mixer tracks and you can overlap animation blocks and things to mix them just like in video editing.
The Motion Mixer used to be a character studion only feature but in 2006 they made it compatible with all 3dsmax animation which is nice :).
@Ardee There aren't really any extra plugins needed for max anymore, used to be like that 4-5 years ago. They integrated all the good ones in order to keep the higher price somewhat valid. So you get character studio, mental ray, plus they bought up and integrated many of the more usefull plugins that used to be third party e.g. Power booleans.
