Your editor has been kicking the tires on the new animated GIF support in CircuitPython 8.1.0beta0. Taking the [Floppy with a Display](https://learn.adafruit.com/a-floppy-thumb-drive-with-a-color-file-icon-display/overview) hardware, I loaded the beta and a test GIF player. It worked out of the gate! First was a Max Headroom demo, initially posted to Twitter. About 10 different iterations were made with memes, computer and software startup screens and more. Likely when 8.1.0 is released, there will be an Adafruit guide on using animated GIFs as we are still working out subtle bugs and performance. A huge shout out to CircuitPython community member Mark Komus for adding this capability, it was my top #CircuitPython2023 request - [Twitter initial post](https://twitter.com/anne_engineer/status/1630375626682105858), [Adafruit Blog video medley](https://twitter.com/adafruit/status/1631151938921279491), and [Adafruit Show and Tell](https://www.youtube.com/live/ur-Gl-fj6HA?feature=share&t=309).
