is there a way to get a list of file types that support saving with image animation?

If you mean in terms of our documentation, you could go to https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/handbook/image-file-formats.html and search for 'save_all'.

If you mean programmatically,

>>> from PIL import Image
>>> Image.init()
True
>>> Image.SAVE_ALL.keys()
dict_keys(['GIF', 'PNG', 'TIFF', 'MPO', 'PDF', 'WEBP'])

Although yes, I am taking 'animation' to simply mean 'multiple images'.

In normal speech, one would not describe PDFs as being animated.
