I was unable to find specifics of how to allow the animated Leaderheads - I am fine with just playing with the civs from BTS or whatever that have been animated previosly - heard there were some issues with crashing or something - but the video tutorials all have them and I really miss the facial expressions. I am not a programmer so please keep that in mind. Thanks...

All I can say is there's been discussion of trying to prepare a set of animated LH's but it's a project that has not been committed to. C2C doesn't run too well with such heavy graphics in play fouling things up so the statics were put in place in part to make things simply more functional for us.

Put it simply, animated ones take much more space than static ones, whether movies or leaders.
Animated one can be few MB whereas static picture is less than 100 kb.
Multiply by 100s of leaders and you get the picture.
However, it doesn't take much programming skills to modify art define files to point back to default civ animated ones

Shouldn't we convert all Wonder-Movies into static ones in the default C2C then? If people prefer it they can still use the long movie "mod".

No there isn't.

The main problem is the fact that Civ4 (not C2C) load ALL animated leaderhead. If it can load only the one in-game (and a static one for the Civopedia), the problem would be far less worse.

If YOUR willing to do it, sure.
