I use GIMP to animate caty icons. I have a pre-saved template making it quick and easy. I do prefer static icons over animated. But with such a small space, it is hard to capture the features of a product. So for those, I will animate to catch a potential shopper's attention. What I would like to mention, is pay attention to the speed of the frames. There are some that flash so fast that it make my eyes bug out.
