Again, don't use the pyplot interface! For an animation, avoid having to redraw the colorbar at all; and don't use the pyplot colorbar command, use the Figure.colorbar method, and explicitly pass in the colorbar axes to use, via the cax kwarg. Don't leave creation of its axes to the colorbar method itself more than once, because it will always create a new one.
