PIXI Movieclips without JSON file.

In order to do a Movie Clip in PIXI.js are you required to have a JSON file? Is it possible to have the JSON inside the same file, especially if the movie clip is only a few frames and load the image like you load all other Sprites.

The only examples they have of movie clips is a bloated Fighter Jet example. Is this method possible? As MovieClip extends Sprite. I hoped to achieve this because I have multiple images with the exact same frame information and I did not wish to duplicate it all.

$(document).ready(function() {
    PIXI.loader
        .add('point', rootUrl + "images/games/faction/base_point_sprite.png")
        .load(start);
});

functions start() {

}
