Hello Scott,
The observed error is caused by the fact that the boolean value is not provided as is, but as a string, and the string
'false' is evaluated to
true as a boolean value. Then a JavaScript error occurs, as no configuration properties for the animation are found.
You can omit the inner pair of quotes, and the Tabstrip's animations will be disabled as expected:

Alternatively, you can override the default animations option value via the TabStrip's prototype:

I hope this helps.
