I have a TFT Screen hooked up to a Raspberry Pi. When I tried to display a gif using fbi, it just showed a static image. Does it only work for images?
If so, what can I use instead to display gifs?

Answer
Only Images. It will sometimes show a gif but not animate it.
from fbi’s man page
fbi displays the specified file(s) on the linux console using the framebuffer device. PhotoCD, jpeg, ppm, gif, tiff, xwd, bmp and png are supported directly. For other formats fbi tries to use ImageMag‐ ick’s convert.
You can use mplayer for playing gifs
