Ah, the wonderful 'Pole Shift' theory.
Some said the poles were supposed to 'flip'
at the turn of the century, bringing about
a new cycle of life on earth. Edgar Cayce
made such predictions.
For a 'slightly' less dubious source, you
can check out Charles Hapgood publications.
However, you will also have to endure his
theories on the lost city of Atlantis.
A related topic is the 'precession' of the
earth - it's wobble on its axis that
cataclism proponents use to explain how
they think the centrifugal force of this wobble
has caused the poles to flip (north becomes
south).
I couldn't find the animated example you
are looking for. But there are a lot of sites
that talk about the changing of the earth's
magnetic field that have some good still
images.
