If it moves spontaneously, it's unnecessary animation.

It is necessary for things to move only if:

- they are objects being dragged by the mouse (or finger in the case of touch input).

- they are the content of an animated image or video being played. (User preference needed there: auto-play or not.)

Maybe you want some clever code checking that you only go from blank to filled, and you'd better have the size ready up-front?
