file gives the same output for animated GIFs vs. regular GIFs.
There should be some clue in the output to distinguish them.
Compare identify(1).

what identify does it that it prints you a line for each and every image
within a (n anmitaed) gif, that's not the same as saying 'this is an
animated gif' and 'this is not an animated gif', which is hardly
possible to do.
gifs can have multiple images within and not being animated, it's not
the scope of file to have a full gif implementation to interpret and
analyze the image in it's entirety. it's good enough to say that is a
gif, be it animated or not.
