do you have an option like 'do not dispose' checked?

You would need to change the frame disposal to replace instead of combine.

Thank you Wallace you're a gentleman.

I also noticed that there are many missing pixels from most of the frames.
As you can see in this screenshot thumbnail below.

I set the frame disposal to replace and this is what the animation looks like,
due to the missing pixels.

Okay Bob,
you're welcome.

I'm curious as to how you fixed all the missing pixels so quickly?

So your gif wasn't missing any pixels?
That's funny,
because I opened your gif in Gimp and every frame had missing pixels,
except for the background or first image in the gif.
