That's nice because it avoids watching the frames being slowly created,
and the group doesn't always collapse as it should, the way I've been
doing it.
However, a couple of small changes give a smoother animation with 64
frames rather than 151, while GENERATING only 33 frames.
Block[{$DisplayFunction = Identity, half, graphs, step = Pi/32}, half =
Table[GraphicCell[Plot[Sin[t]*Sin[x], {x, 0, Pi}, PlotRange -> {{0,
Pi}, {-1, 1}}, ImageSize -> 400]], {t, -Pi/2, Pi/2 - step, step}];
graphs = Rest@Join[half, Rest@Reverse@half];
NotebookWrite[EvaluationNotebook[], Cell[CellGroupData[graphs,
Closed]]];
SelectionMove[EvaluationNotebook[], All, GeneratedCell];
FrontEndExecute[{FrontEndToken[EvaluationNotebook[],
"SelectionAnimate"]}]]

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"]}]
]
