The timer set up by image.el keeps "displaying" the animated GIF.

In this simple case, we could use

 (get-buffer-window (plist-get (cdr image) :animate-buffer) 'visible)

in image-animate-timeout to see if the buffer is displayed in any
window.  The harder questions are:

  . if the buffer is not displayed, what to do with the timer?
    continue running it? if so, how to interpret the LIMIT arg?

  . what if the window _is_ displayed, but the image is not visible?
    I think we'd need to record the image's buffer position in its
    plist, so that we could use pos-visible-in-window-p to find out
    whether the image is visible
