There's a glitch with the legend in the first gif. Maybe the location needs to be pinned to something that is not 'best'

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure why that happens yet, but I guess it means the legend position should be determined automatically for only the first frame, then fixed there for the other frames.

I recommend saving facetgrid support for future PRs.

Agree. I think I might also leave animated step plot support for a future PR.

I'm personally more excited about 2D animations and am happy to implement that once all the common infrastructure is in.

Help with that would be great! I also really want to get 2D animations working - I'm often trying to make animations like this:

I anticipate that there might be some difficulties with cartopy integration for 2D animations, but I don't actually use cartopy in my work, so help with that would be especially appreciated.

Just pinging jbusecke, who recently announced https://github.com/jbusecke/xmovie.

Yeah we've been talking about the relationship between this and xmovie in https://github.com/jbusecke/xmovie/issues/2. I think that movie output functionality can be tacked on later.
