Cinemagraphs ("the new GIFs")

"These works of art are not exactly a photo, but not a video either. The term cinemagraph may have been around before, but I can’t find much on the topic. While these photos are gifs, they are more than just simple animation gifs, they are still photos with simply one aspect of the photo moving."

So it's not a simple animation gif. Just a more 'complex' gif.
A gif's a gif. Looks cool though.

I love the pretentious name and how it's somehow more than a "simple GIF."

It's like they've never seen a Hannah-Barbara cartoon.

Yeah it looks cool.

Yeah, that's the word, a more "complex" GIF. Looks nice, specially the first one.

Looks pretty nice.

shadowgrin put it best, a gif's a gif. Still pretty cool though.
