Omega the easiest way to get a grip on the animations is to open an existing .gif in GIMP. Think of the "Flip Books" of years past. You know . . . the little booklets with pictures or drawings each just a little bit different that when flipped through quickly gave the impression of objects moving.

You can equate each page of the booklet with a layer of the .gif. Each layer is like a .jpg a little different than the one above or below it.

Here's a really simple .gif that's been floating around the web for years that you can open in GIMP and look at and readily wrap your head around.
