you can disable winks in Tools > Options by disabling the option to play them when they are received in the Messages tab

and you cant specifically disable animated emoticons (assuming you meant emoticons) but you can disable all custom emos by unticking Show Custom Emoticons in Tools > Options > Messages

if you meant DDP's like characters with moods or muggins etc. then afaik they cant be disabled but as with emoticons, you can disable all of them by disabling "Show display pictures from others" in the General tab of the options
