java - animated gif leaving trail on movement

I tried displaying an animated gif in a JLabel by doing this...

Icon pikachu = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/images/ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif"));
JLabel gif = new JLabel();
gif.setSize(60,60); 
gif.setIcon(pikachu);
this.add(gif); //this is a JPanel

Apparently, the gif leaves trails on its movements as seen here in this image... The original gif is the one on the top left. I thought the gif was too fast or too slow, so I tried adjusting the speed (which is the bottom left). Unfortunately, it wasn't the cause for the trails left by the gif (the dark lines/parts on top of the tail and ear part of the one on the right is the trails I'm talking about).

I was wondering what causes this and how to fix it

(gif.setSize(60,60); and rest code that probably used NullLayout) == JLabel has horizontal, vertical alingment, gap for test and (Image)Icon in API, – mKorbel Nov 24 '15 at 14:37
As mKorbel said, try first `gif.setSize(100, 100);`. – Joop Eggen Nov 24 '15 at 14:49
I tried changing the size, it didn't fix the problem – user3921890 Nov 24 '15 at 15:05

Wow, even uses the same gif. The problem is Java doesn't support the dispose method of the gif (I don't know why, it just doesn't) – MadProgrammer Nov 24 '15 at 21:48
