Creating movie from 3D Arrays

[deesdeel]

I have a seemingly very simple task. I have N 3D arrays, and I want to create a movie with N frames out of those arrays.
Step one: Plot a single frame. I accepted this challenge and thought it will be a matter of 10 minutes to find out how to do that with matplotlib. I was wrong, for me it seemed incredibly complicated. Therefore I was very happy when I found the ipyvolume package and its volshow function, that does exactly what I want.. Fast forward three days: Yeah, it could be so easy, if only it would work.. I tried ipyvolume on google colab (where I usually do my Python stuff), in Code, Jupyter Notebooks in Firefox and Chrome, nothing worked.. Now in JupyterLab I finally have some plots shown in my output. Still the control panels partly don't work (Failed to load model class 'HBoxModel' from module '@jupyter-widgets/controls'), but that's okay.. I don't need any fancy JS stuff.. I just want a movie file..
however, even with the example code snippets given on the website new problems arrise:

---

1269 with output_widget:
1270 if timeout and not done[0]:
-> 1271 raise ValueError("timed out, no image data returned")
1272 finally:
1273 with output_widget:

ValueError: timed out, no image data returned

I'm sorry for the emotionaly charged post, but this is supposed to be a side project for me and I already wasted my whole week on it.. Can somebody tell me how to get my task done in a simple fashion? I don't care if it's done by using ipyvolume or any other plotting tool.. Thanks people :*
