Looks like the FigureCanvasMac object for the macosx backend have a few missing functions that are critical for animations. First, it doesn't have copy_from_bbox(). Besides animations, this also impacts some widgets, particularly the lasso widget. The FigureCanvasMac object also doesn't have restore_region(), so any animations that have blit=True will fail.
