Would .gif format be a hassle to get into Rockbox?
It is a format that can be used to view movies!

If you want a starting point, it looks like fxb from iPodLinux has put together a GIF viewer.  You can find his sources here:

It says that he stripped part of the GIF loading code out of the GIMP.  Maybe that can provide a starting point if you are interested.
