If the matrices for ListPlot3D are all of the same dimensions (making a
list mats = {mat1, mat2, ..}) Then

m[t_]=Through/@Through[MapThread[Composition[Interpolation,List],mats,2][t]]

gives a function m which will interplolate the matrices.

Try it on
    mats=Table[Random[Integer,{0,9}],{5},{6} ,{7}]

This can be used to generate a suitably close-spaced sequence of images
for smooth animation.

If the timing if the initial images is not equally spaced then it will
need to be included in the mati: {{h ...}...} will become
{{{t,h}...}...}
