how do I repeat several animations as a group?

I have a slide with several customs animations. Once all of the animations
are finished I would like to have them all repeat in the same order until the
slide is changed...basically I want it to keep looping. However, I can only
see how to repeat the individual animations, not the group as a whole.

Can anyone help me? Is it possible to loop a group of animations?

Animation carbon allows you to copy animations to make repeating more easily:

If you are looking for looping continuously,
One possible way is to run the slide in a custom show. This allow the slide
to loop continuously.
To do so, click Slide Show > Custom Show > New...
Add the slide that you want to loop.
Click OK.

Then have an action button that allows you to hyperlink to the custom show.
Add the action button, right click and select Action Setting. Select
Hyperlink to > Custom Show. Put a checkmark to show and return. OK your way
out.

Go to the animated slide again, right click on the slide thumbnail and
select hide slide so that it will not appear in the slide show (only when you
hyperlink it).

Now to make it loop continuously, click Slide Show > Set Up Show.
Put a checkmark to "Loop continuously until 'Esc'". Click OK.

Alternately, you can have that slide on a new presentation. Then, in Set Up
Show, have it loop continuously.

Lastly, link the presentation through this method:

Is that what you are looking for?

In "custom animations" select the item you want to animate. We'll call it
"item A" then in the "start" menu choose either "on click" or "after
previous". Next select the 2nd "item B" in the start menu choose "with
previous" and (make sure if you have an "effect delay" on item A that all of
the animations you want to do at the exact same time have the same delay
value.) continue this for all animations you want to start at same time.
