These examples were disabled because the manual pausing caused the example to take very long while the docs were being built. Using the animation framework works if run by itself and also in Sphinx-Gallery, which can then have the frames generated as quickly as possible. That being said, I have only enabled the wire3d animation. The axes3d rotation example goes through so many frames that it takes over 3 minutes, which is by far longer than any other example, so it remains skipped.

PR summary
These examples were disabled because the manual pausing caused the example to take very long while the docs were being built. Using the animation framework works if run by itself and also in Sphinx-Gallery, which can then have the frames generated as quickly as possible.
That being said, I have only enabled the wire3d animation. The axes3d rotation example goes through so many frames that it takes 3 minutes, which is by far longer than any other example, so it remains skipped. If we wanted to enable that example, we could have it skip angles (by 5 or 10 degrees), but that does make it a bit choppy.
