This is more Javascript than HTML, really....

<html><head>
<script>
var exit = setTimeout("leave()", 9000); //number of milliseconds, 1000 = 1 second. Set this to the appropriate time for your animation's ending

function leave(){
location="my_new_page.html";
}
</script></head><body>
<img src="my_ani.gif">
</body></html>

This will work for a 9 second long GIF animation.

In Flash you can use ActionScript to call the URL of a function... getURL(){ url = "javascript:doFunction();";}

Anyways, just change that 9000 up at the top. It it's 5 minutes, use 600000*5; if it's just one minute, use 600000. 1000 = 1 second. 60000 = 6 seconds.
