Using Ubuntu 13.10 I was able to install gmerlin and then I could read animated gifs in [pix_film]. Here's the related bug report http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/gem-dev/2012-01/005813.html

If your gifs don't loop then reencode them with a delay. In Imagemagick:

mogrify -delay 100 allgifs*.gif

I have now written a tutorial on how to use animated gifs in Pure Data http://www.hellocatfood.com/gifs-in-pure-data/
