What (if any) developments are planned for the implementation of
animated image formats such as MNG?

We don't currently have plans to implement MNG.  Like other browser vendors, we've so far seen little demand for this from web authors.  Most authors who aren't satisfied with GIF have thus far used Flash, but increasingly, open standards like 2D & 3D CSS animations, WebGL, <canvas>, etc. are able to meet authors' needs here.

If we were to implement a new animated image format, we'd be much more likely to implement Mozilla's APNG format than MNG.  But even APNG, despite a much more focused design and a shipping implementation in Firefox, has seen almost no uptake on the web and no consensus to formally adopt it on the part of the PNG spec maintainers.
