Stupid but true, Preview.app can play animated GIf's! Simply add the Play button to your toolbar and load an animated GIF, click on the Play button, and away you go!

[robg adds: Amazingly simple, and I'd overlooked it ever since Jaguar came out. We even had a hint that covered Preview's new features, and mentioned that it would open animated GIFs. But it didn't mention the Play button, and in all this time, I'd never bothered to look at the buttons available in the Customize Toolbar menu!]
