There have been some discussion of adding an fig.animations list (a la ax.images, ax.artists), and have a fig.add_animation() method. We could then update the animation code to add itself to the given figure to make this work for all existing code. Maybe it would be a nice tie-in with the updates to the navigation toolbar (automatically adding useful buttons for starting/pausing animations, etc)?
