Well, they have a different appearance and a different set of options. 
Nevertheless Manipulate can usually substitute for Animate.

While we are on the subject of Animate, I wonder if anyone else has problems 
with 'sticky' Animates? That is, ones that stop after a certain amount of 
time, even though the AnimationRepetitions has a default value of Infinity. 
If one clicks the Pause/Play control they will usually start and run for a 
while and then stop again. For example, this happens for me with the second 
example in the Animate Help.

Animate[ArrayPlot[CellularAutomaton[n, {{1}, 0}, {40, All}]], {n, 0,
  255, 1}]

Also, would it be possible to obtain an animation that ran in a particular 
way without any controls at all? Now, Animate has a minimun mandatory set of 
controls.
