I guess years of flash animated banner ads have made users blind to any animated content on a web page.
On a side note, if you intend to implement a navigation for your slider (like dots or page numbers), I'd highly recommend triggering it on hover and not on click. It's really painful as a user to have to point precisely at a small 8*8 pixel area, stop moving, and then click, in order to change the slide. Hover triggering is more indulgent in terms of precision (like on Chrome's web store). Of course, making the area bigger is also recommended.
