Command-line tool for .gif files

Hello!

I'm searching for a little (as basic as possible) command -line tool for viewing gif animations.
I found gThumb and animate (imagemagick), but they both have a little problem...
gthumb: no possibility of changing the background when viewing in fullscreen
animate: no possibility of viewing in fullscreen but changing the background...
I want a little tool that I can fully automatically start from the command-line with all needed options, not (like in gthumb) by editing config files

Does maybe anyone know one? please

solved - I used gthumb and made the background of the gif black...
