You're looking for the aalib library. Just google for that name and you should quickly find it. It comes with example programs and demo's for displaying ascii art to the console, including animations. Its mainly for C program developers. I had to get and install it to compile Quake-2, but have never actually used it.
I'm running this one for a check it out moment, its in my repo, but Arch got it listed in a post. It's running through a batch of images .. looks chafa, so its lives up to its name. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/c.../x86_64/chafa/
