Can I use Plotly to make animated graphs?

I've come across Plotly and I am wondering whether it is possible to animate things like bar charts with it. I noticed the Streaming API but I do not think that is what I need...

Can I use JavaScript to manually do this?

To answer your question, yes you can animate bar charts made with Plotly. Plotly has an open-source JS library built on top of D3 which should make it very easy for you to create your own animated bar charts. You could also just use D3 instead of Plotly.
