Check out the Living On section for art versions of
Anne's moving pictures, in no particular order.

The passport photos of Anne were taken in May 1939, when Anne was almost ten. (Fluffy sleeves series: was said to be from May 1939 in both the Anne Frank House CD-ROM and in a yearly photos album page photo that sent me. Non-fluffy sleeves series: Anne Frank: Beyond the Diary has a photo [on p. 27] from the series, noted as from 1939 and The Diary of a Young Girl: the Definitive Edition also includes a small photo from that series labeled May 1939.)

The animations take a while to download, so each is on a separate page. The ones I recommend most are the first fluffy sleeves one and both of the "non-fluffies." However, Anne is very engaging, so they are all neat to watch if you have the time for them all.

These show Anne in different clothes, in more distant photos, and possibly she is a little younger. Perhaps this series was taken a year earlier?

Notes:
There is also a genuine 10 second film clip of Anne offline. She is in the distance looking out the window at a neighbor's wedding. This clip is available on the Anne Frank House: a House with a Story CD-ROM and in the Anne Frank Remembered video. There is a version of that film online (enhanced to be zoomed in on Anne) and an unedited version at annefrank.org.

The Critical Edition has photos of Anne's copies of parts of photo series which she pasted into her diary and commented on (p. 222, 228, 272, 281, 282, 284, 293, 305). AFBD also has a few passport photos on page 27 (as well as a number of other photos of Anne, throughout).
Because all photos of Anne Frank are held in strict copyright by both the Anne Frank Foundation and The Anne Frank House, please do not use these images for anything other than educational use.

"The [Anne Frank House] stated it's goals as 'the restoration of 263 Prinsengracht' and 'the propagation of the ideals left as a legacy to the world in the diary of Anne Frank.'"
The Hidden Life of Otto Frank p. 262
"To Otto [Frank]'s distress, [the Anne Frank House] was not running as smoothly as he had hoped, and he had many disagreements with the board, who he felt did not have enough interest in the educational aspect of the organization. With his faith in his vision of the [AFH] shaken, he decided that upon his death the copyright on Anne's diaries and other writings would be inherited by another group, the Anne Frank-Fonds in Basel."
Hidden Life of Otto Frank p 276-7

(Reading Muller's biography of Anne Frank and The Hidden Life of Otto Frank, it appears that Otto Frank left very little to the Anne Frank House, upon his death in 1980. Specifically: items he'd forgotten that were not needed elsewhere. HLOF p. 310)
