Here is one way, if you like it, but it does not behave exactly as the
native Wolfram animation. The For and Do loop constructions are equivalent
in this context. Check my recent message [mg45062] for more information on
ShowToTaggedCell!

ShowToTaggedCell[plot_, celltag_] :=
    If[NotebookFind[EvaluationNotebook[], ToString[celltag], All,
          CellTags] == $Failed,
      CellPrint[
        Cell[TextData[{Cell[
                GraphicsData["PostScript", DisplayString[plot]]]}],
          "Graphics", CellTags -> ToString[celltag]]], ,
      NotebookWrite[EvaluationNotebook[],
        Cell[TextData[{Cell[
                GraphicsData["PostScript", DisplayString[plot]]]}],
          "Graphics", CellTags -> ToString[celltag]]]];

Do[sintable[i] = Table[{x, Sin[x - Pi*i/18]}, {x, 0, 2*Pi, Pi/12}], {i, 1,
    36}] (* Replace the Sin function, increments and limits with your own
data *)

For[i = 1, i <= 36,
  plot[i] = ListPlot[sintable[i], DisplayFunction -> Identity]; i++]

Do[ShowToTaggedCell[plot[i], "figure"]; Pause[0.1], {i, 1, 36}]
