In preparation for merging with VV, I've imported most of the special VV smilies, so a total of 109 extra smilies are now available.
As the smilies are shown together with the emojis in the menu, and there are so many emojis, it might not be immediately obvious that the extra smilies are there. But if you click on the smilies icon inside the text editor menu and do a search e.g. for 'cat' or 'apple' or 'banana' or 'no' or 'happy' or 'sad' or ... the list goes on, but a few distinctly old-school, sometimes animated smilies should pop up.
