The Mathematica 3.0 front end can export an animation to QuickTime
format, but this is specific to the Macintosh platform.  

On other platforms, you can use kernel commands to export the graphics
to GIF format.  The command is Display[filename, graphic, "GIF"], where
filename is the name of the .gif file that you want to store an
individual image in, and graphic is a Mathematica graphics object.  

Once you have exported each graphic in the animation to separate files,
you can use a third-party merging utility to string the GIFs together
into an animated graphic.
