I've always thought that sorting algorithm visualisation could be done better in static images than animation. Here's a blog post on the topic I prepared earlier... ;)
I remember seeing the exact same animations original poster linked to, no less than ten years ago. I recognize their visual form distincly, because of how they've set back my understanding when I was learning this stuff.
There is no limit to pagerank you should receive for preparing this.
What I like about the animated approach is showing insertion and bubble sorting beating the others on a nearly sorted set. It's not just a question of what's the best in average or worst case situations but also what format is your data starting out as.
Edit: It's not that the other approach can't show the same information rather it takes up more space so it's harder to notice new relationships other than those directly shown.

Thanks for including the source you used to generate those, too. :)
