matplotlib animation video not fitting in Jupyter_Notebook Cell

Okay, so I am trying to create some animation in matplotlib. I am doing this on Jupyter-Notebook.

I am converting the animation using to_html5_video(). And displaying it using HTML(). The problem is that this video is not fitting in my cell.

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
l, = ax.plot([],[], "k.")
ax.set_xlim([0,L])
ax.set_ylim([0,L])

def animate(i):
    l.set_data(xPos[:i], yPos[:i])

ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate,frames=len(xPos)).to_html5_video()
HTML(ani)

It is looking like this: As you can see, the video is not fitting the cell.

How do I fit it properly?

When I had this problem I found that I could make the video smaller by using plt.rcParams["savefig.dpi"] = 100. This gave me the notion that my config was somehow bad, so I simply deleted ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc and the sample code for animations now render correctly.
