WordPress animation plugin for Bricks, Etch and Gutenberg
Bricks Builder animations work the way the rest of Bricks does: pick an element, open the Style tab and choose how it moves. No GSAP and no timeline to learn, and from version 3.2 your AI assistant can do it for you.
Entrance and scroll animations load 10.0 KB of JavaScript between them.

What you can build
Every template is a real section built with the plugin, Bricks Builder animations already set. Paste it, swap the text and photos, and the motion stays. New ones come with each release, and if you need one that isn’t there, ask me.
Split scroll
Image stays, text changes with the scroll.
Video scrub
The scroll drives the video, frame by frame.
Footer curtain
The last block lifts and uncovers the footer.
Grid zoom
A grid that zooms into one tile as you scroll.
Section card stack
Sticky cards covered by the next one.
Pricing fan
Plans that fan out from a deck.
Pinned scene: one template starts full screen and settles into the grid as you scroll.
Advanced scroll, without the maths
These are the three Bricks Builder animations people write to me about most. Each one used to mean working out scroll windows by hand. Now each one is a switch in the panel.
An exact card stack with any number of cards. Each card measures how much the next one covers it.
One range, split between the children. Add a child and the timing adjusts itself.
Children enter one after another, 0.3 s apart by default, with a delay you set per element.
Pinned scene: the stage stays for two screens while the steps take turns.
How it works
Every Bricks Builder animation is now a setting in the panel you already use, in Etch and the block editor too. No class names to remember.
Start, end, from, to, sequence children, covered by next sibling. No timelines, no code. Etch animations use the same controls in EtchWP.
Make the pricing cards stack as I scroll, each one shrinking a little as the next slides over it.
Just say it: “make these cards stack as I scroll”. Your AI assistant sets the controls for you.
What's inside
Twelve kinds of Bricks Builder animations, from a simple fade to a cursor that changes color on dark sections. One license covers all of them.
Fade, slide, zoom, sweep, rotate and your own, driven by the scroll. Windows, sticky scenes, sequences, stacks, horizontal scroll, video scrub and smoothing.
Headlines revealed by words or lines, with a clean, accessible DOM.
Lenis built in and configurable; works with position: sticky.
Float, zoom, ring and wobble on anything clickable.
Fade, slide, zoom and reveal presets, once or every time, with timing and delay per element and staggered children.
Transitions and entrances inside the Bricks nestable slider.
Slide, cascade and circle, with a loading logo and text.
Move, follow and 3D tilt that react to the pointer.
Dot and ring, text inside the cursor, inverted colors per section.
A gradient that follows the cursor, with your colors and patterns.
Animate every heading, card or selector sitewide from the settings, no element editing.
Your assistant reads the plugin’s notes and sets the controls for you.
Since 2023
I started Fancy Animations in October 2023 as Bricks Builder animations you added with class names. Some of you found that hard, and every release since has made it simpler. This is the road so far.
CSS entrance animations for Bricks, one class each. Powerful, but you had to learn the names.
Float, zoom, ring and wobble, still by class.
And the plugin starts printing only the CSS a page uses.
ScrollTrigger without GSAP, and your own custom scroll animations in 2.1.
Move, follow and 3D tilt; headlines revealed by words and lines.
Scroll, entrance, text and hover controls move into the Bricks Style tab, and the template library starts.
Radial gradient backgrounds in 2.8, smooth scroll in 2.9, and more control in 2.10.
The block editor in beta in 2.13, then the full set of panels inside Etch in 2.14, with new settings.
Global animations by selector, live preview and video scrub; then sequences, card stacks and scroll smoothing.
Describe the motion and your assistant sets the controls.

Performance
The motion runs in CSS, and two small scripts tell it when. I measured what a page with entrance and scroll animations loads, against GSAP with ScrollTrigger.

Entrance and scroll scripts
GSAP + ScrollTrigger
The usual way to do it by hand
JavaScript only, gzipped, from Fancy Animations 3.2.0 and GSAP 3.13, measured in October 2026. Text, cursor or smooth scroll add their own small scripts only when you turn them on.
