Animated images in WebP format can be played. The text-only fallback mode is driven by vv outputting images on its own. The Kitty graphics protocol allows much more sophisticated control of the animation, in which case the image will continue to play even after vv exits. Note that support for Kitty animations in terminal implementations is currently very limited.
