There are thousands of animated GIF files of people doing weird things, cute animals and funny incidents. Many of these image loops are small-sized and poor quality. However, they are popular on the web because they are addictive and fun. This collection of animated GIFs features animations by creative individuals who take this medium very seriously. They are using it as a means for artistic expression or to promote advertising clips for a client.
