I have created an animated thumbnail of an image collection using the following piece of code:
// Create a video thumbnail and add it to the map.
var thumb = ui.Thumbnail({
// Specifying a collection for "image" animates the sequence of images.
image: collection,
params: args,
style: {
position: 'bottom-right',
width: '320px'
}});
Map.add(thumb);
How can export the thumbnail to Google Drive as a GIF or other similar format?

You can do this from Google Colab using the Earth Engine Python API.
Here is a demo notebook.
You can also right click on the animation that appears in the
ui.Thumbnail()
element and select a download option (GIF format).
