Hmm...  Well, PNGs cannot be animated.  But if you download GIMP, you can select all your saved PNG files and left click and select 'open as layers' and save it as a GIF and select 'save as animation' and put your desired frame rate.

PNGs can be animated. There's a PNG extension, APNG, that allows you to create animations. It's kinda well supported (Firefox and Opera, last I checked).

It's mostly useless for pixel art, since it usually has an indexed palette and very few colors.
