This creates a graphics cell from a graphics expression.

GraphicCell[graphics_] :=
   Cell[GraphicsData["PostScript", DisplayString[graphics]],"Graphics"]

This writes a closed cellgroup of graphics cells and then animates the 
cellgroup.

Block[{$DisplayFunction=Identity, graphs},
   graphs =
     Table[GraphicCell[
         Plot[Sin[t]*Sin[x], {x, 0, Pi}, PlotRange -> {{0, Pi}, {-1, 1}},
           ImageSize -> 400]], {t,0,15,.1}];
   NotebookWrite[EvaluationNotebook[],Cell[CellGroupData[graphs,Closed]]];
   SelectionMove[EvaluationNotebook[], All, GeneratedCell];
   FrontEndExecute[{FrontEndToken[EvaluationNotebook[], "SelectionAnimate"]}]
   ]
