  This feature is currently only available for 3D characters - however, I will see if it's possible to add for 2D characters as well.

  Thank you. I hope this feature or a "manual" code solution is possible soon.

  Hi again.
  
  I've found a "craft" way to solve part of the problem. When the distance between the position in a Update event and next is lower than some number, the animator component speed is 0. Otherwise, animator component speed is set to a default value. See the code below:
  
  #pragma strict
  
  public var MovementThreshold : float = 1;
  public var WalkingSpeed: float = 1;
  private var animator: Animator;
  private var lastPos: Vector3;
  
  function Start () {
      animator = this.gameObject.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent.<Animator>();
      lastPos = new Vector3(0, 0, -10);
  }
  
  function Update () {
      if (Vector3.Distance(this.transform.position, lastPos) * 1000 < MovementThreshold)
          animator.speed = 0;
      else if (animator.speed == 0)
          animator.speed = WalkingSpeed;
      lastPos = this.transform.position;
  }
  
  It's perfect with the default values. My problem now is that I'm not able to change the animator to "Idle" (for example, "BrainIdle"), so, the character remains in an unnatural position. I've tried with animator.Play, but it can't get it.
  
  Any help?
  
  Thanks!

  Have you looked at the Sprites Unity Complex animation engine?  Check the manual's section 3.9.  The default Sprites mode, "Sprites Unity", handles the playing of Mecanim animations automatically - making it easy to set up, but restrictive in terms of scope.
  
  Sprites Unity Complex, however, allows you to play your animations using regular Mecanim parameters, e.g. "movement speed", "facing direction" etc.  AC will control the parameters and nothing else - therefore, you can insert your own parameters, and control them through script.  If you're going down the custom script route, that'd be your best bet.

  An update: this will be a feature in v1.47 - but only with Sprites Unity Complex characters.  Character movement speeds will be able to be reduced as they need "wall" colliders - if you reduce it by a big enough amount, you'll be able to stop them completely.
