show the second form and disable the first form like this:

    Dim newform As Form3 = New Form3
    newform.Show()
    Me.Enabled = False

Use the the Closed event to re-enable the first form when the second form closes:

Private Sub Form3_FormClosed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosedEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosed
    Form1.Enabled = True
End Sub

You can also use
Me.Hide()
Form2.show()
If the animated picture is a GIF then all you have to do is put it in a picturebox and use
Picturebox1.Endabled = TRUE
