Update animation demo suite with crash fixes and improvements

- Add warnings about AnimationManager segfault bug in sizzle_reel_final.py
- Create sizzle_reel_final_fixed.py that works around the crash by hiding objects instead of removing them
- Increase font sizes for better visibility in demos
- Extend demo durations for better showcase of animations
- Remove debug prints from animation_sizzle_reel_working.py
- Minor cleanup and improvements to all animation demos

These demos showcase the full animation system capabilities while documenting and working around known issues with object removal during active animations.
