You can't see walk/run animations, but the character creator does let you preview a number of emotes - select the "unique pose" tickbox at the bottom of the screen (or press L3 on controller) and the character will cycle through /lookout, /me, /stretch, /pose and /dance.

Plus the "voice preview" screen shows a couple more - [fume?], /cheer, /chuckle, /yes and /no.

It's not perfect but at least you can get a basic idea of what they're like without having to start a character.
