Frankly, those animations are so simple that they could be replaced with static images (the first one would need a split in two). This way I can choose which one to watch simply by moving my eyeballs or maybe scrolling in case of small screens. Two simple, widely know and efficient interfaces. Maybe I shouldn't be too harsh, after all it was me who as a teenager hacked this panel displaying information about currently selected file in Windows 98 Explorer to slide in/out during navigation like menus in StarCraft, but c'mon - it's one thing to create such stuff and another to actually really use it. Even I couldn't bear those sliding panels for long :)
