Am I the only one who finds subtle animations much more pleasant?

I think there is a reason why it's dark when the stage set of a theatre is being changed between scenes, but with user interfaces somehow any rearrangement must be a distracting visual gimmick these days.

Edit: Seriously, why do you need a hard change to a blue background only to then move a white cloud up across nearly the complete height of the screen?

After thinking about it more, maybe I am wrong and there is a use case for these animations:

Small children like to look at moving things.

So it depends on the target audience. Toys or educational Apps are different from the business / financial context implied in your demo.

Don't underestimate the number of successful adults who treat their finances / business as a toy

There is a trend of infantilization within modern culture. This has been underway for some time now.
