Hello, Out of interest, have you tried loading the images on demand?
I have found that computers and hard drives are fast enough these days to load the images as needed (as long as the animation doesn't run to fast). This way you may only keep 3-4 frames at one time. Another option is to use something like PIL and Gif animations, this allows you to "seek" through the file and only load the images as needed. Hope this helps.
