Some minimal animation is nice (such as theirs, it's simple and effective, I quite like it), but do be careful not to overdo it, or use bloated or browser-locked formats. There are plenty of issues that come hand in hand with animation, including slowing older systems, causing smartphones and other mobile devices to throw a royal fit when trying to load it (or on some devices, crash the page or even the browser), simply being too large in terms of file size, etc. I've been a webmaster on and off for the past ten years or so and the headaches that have come along with animation in most forms have frankly been nothing short of impressive.
