Let's face it, most modern websites do have animations as standard, and mostly they are overdone and pretty ugly.
The Bricks Builder default animations are no different. Simply applying animations using the Interactions results in over-animated content (in my opinion).
For me, the old "Less is more" definitely should apply to content animations.
It turns out that you can use the standard Interactions to start animations and select what you want from the animation dropdown. You then tame down the animations to suit your own preferences, by overriding the animatoin CSS.
