You need to import wx.animate in your Python code, so wxPython knows about the wx.animate.AnimationCtrl proxy class. Once it has loaded the class (and some type information about it) then wxPython will be able to wrap an instance of the proxy class around the wx.Window pointer returned by XRCCTRL. Otherwise wxPython has to go up the class hierarchy until it finds a class that it does know about, in this case it was wx.Control.
