While I agree that the animations are quite useful, I think they should only start playing if the user klicks on it or hovers the mouse over it. Otherwise it looks really horrible if there are too many animations going on on the same page.

Yup I agree - started to notice the same thing after I added the first couple. I will go the freeze frame route because IMHO it is very useful to see the animation if someone wants to figure out how to use the new feature.

As always please file issues at in the changelog tracker and we will happily implement good ideas...
