There are several tools on the market that will create screensavers from
series of images, which means you should also be able to feed them
animations (as sequences).
Most of the screensavers produced that way will play like a slide show,
or show bouncing images. I can't say much more really because I've never
tried them.

It is in essence rather simple. A screensaver is not much more then a
graphical program with a few extra provisions to make it work as a
screensaver. The big step is to rename the compiled program from an .EXE
file to a .SCR file.
Of course you can _make_ it very complicated by wanting to do
complicated things. I've often cursed myself for that...
